It's taken me sixteen-and-a-half years of school to become an academic student. What changed

I find myself thinking the same thing. I have a goal for the time being. I don't know what I want to do with my life though, ultimately. Maybe I'm just surviving... but for now, that is satisfying for me. Since I'm in another country, I want to soak that up before I spend too much time working toward the future in so much of a blur that I miss the culture. Well, maybe that's idealistic. To answer your questions, My own will, I think so, not sure- something I enjoy, and yes.
Happy Holidays!

You've been abroad for such a long time! Do you intend to move back to the states at all anytime soon?

I think you're truly experiencing an important, well, experience in your absorption of another culture. I believe strongly that broadening one's perspective is essential to achieving a sense of wholeness. How is the new year treating you so far?

I am coming back in August, if all goes as planned. My contract is over, so it would take a big earthquake and a broken airport. Hopefully not a broken plane.

The year is treating me all right, some small bumps along the way (as you read) but generally good. I'm searching. And I think I've learned a lot. That is not to say that I have much more to learn.

We need to play cranium. Or go to a bar. Or a good restaurant. And talk. About life. =)

It's funny-- I guess that everyone has the goal of survival and self-sufficiency, but I've never really thought about that directly. Perhaps I'm just in a situation where I have enough help that I've never had to face survival directly. So my goals have always been part of what drives me. I want to heal people. I want to improve people's minds through improving their bodies. If I can swing it so that I provide this healing for people that wouldn't normally receive it otherwise, that's just gravy on the cake. But I get the feeling I'd be just as content with helping who I could.

I long for a simple and warm life, with love and comfort and productivity well-blended. I think that's my goal, more than anything.

You could be, like, the ULTIMATE male prostitute. Super-expensive, known throughout the world. And well-learned and interesting. Like a courtesan, but, you know, with a penis.
