there comes a time - a different point for everyone - when you've just had enough. suddenly you realize that those you're always around aren't as interesting or funny or intelligent as you once thought, but rather, relationships have become there because of familiarity, of routine. usually this is at the same time when you crave the future, and new outlets, options, people, friends, interests, lovers, an entirely new chapter of life. it's nothing personal. but suddenly you worship solitude and silence, worship newness and a clean slate. it's called "growing up: gettin' out and movin' on."
doing lots of things, none of which, until this spring, included hulbert or hulbert people...I went back on a whim and things seemed to be different there, which was a blessing. I'm spending my time right now in community college, which is good and bad. I like what i'm learning (science), but not always the people...I'm tired of people being unmotivated and not doing work. I'm also writing a feminist zine with Anna (remember her?)and just trying to raise awareness about certain issues that affect women. that's also sort of what i'm hoping to do with my life...anyway, it was funny to come across someone i knew on lj, i wasn't expecting it certainly!! how's you're life going for you?
Life's alright, strange and transitional right now. I'm living with some kids for the moment, sort of housesitting/nannying while the parents are in italy. It is okay, but a litte weird, and I'm not getting paid what I should be. I worked all summer, babysitting, construction work, gardening, the usual mishmash. This fall I'm going to massage school. I hope to complete 500 hrs of training this winter and then get a certification in Maya Abdominal Massage, something I disovered that's really quite remarkable. After that I hope to go to Naropa University with the idea of studying contemplative psychology. ...and I guess that's my master plan.
I have been out of touch with most hulbert people myself, it's cool to hear from you. I do remember Anna, still writing magazines huh? I remember her first one. sounds like you're doing good work.
