Ouch, or, How Did This Happen?

Apr 09, 2007 17:28

A really good conversation recently left me open to face the realization that all and all, I am not emotionally healthy. Surprise, surprise? It's more than just that simple this time. When I actually let myself feel my own energy, it scares me how incredibly hollow it feels. Don't get me wrong, I'm still generally happy, I still have many amazing ( Read more... )

I've been feeling a lot of the same way recently. Really missing the lost wonderousness of life. The way things used to seem really fantastic all the time. Small things used to make me smile constantly and now, much less so.

I, too, miss human touch and connection. Sure I have close friends but many (including you) are far away and I don't get to share nearly as much with them.

Something that I recently realized would help to remedy parts of this feeling is creating a plan that's bigger than me and that is only made good by the inclusion of people. I'm thinking of travelling and doing WWOOFing, and I'm also thinking of building a house and always inviting friends over for longterm stays. I don't know if either idea will happen but I like the idea of planning as though they will. It's important to plan new things. Teach the body, mind and spirit new tricks.

Oh, and come and visit me! Help me garden when your school wraps up. We'll pick a couple days and go plant shopping.

Love you darling.

Yay gardening and plant shopping! That sounds like fun.

I'm done exams on the 17th, and will be sticking around Guelph until the beginning of May (then going back to PH/CBG). You're in school for a bit longer than that though, right? Let me know when you want to start gardening and I'd totally be up for helping.

My classes end tomorrow (Friday) and I only have two exams on the 23rd and 24th. So maybe following those? The weather should be nice by then. Sound good?

The damn weather had better be nice by then!

And, yes, that sounds absolutely lovely!
