Delusional Procrastination

[imjustdreamin]

So, I wonder if you all knew what a bad person you read the journal of? So bad that I don't even care if I ended the last sentence with a preposition! You see, I have such an exciting event coming up in my life, and instead of really working towards it I drag my feet in the mindset that if I avoid doing the work, the event will not take place

Oh gosh, I do the exact same thing. I get so scared of the unknown or even just doing a particular task, so I then put it off forever (a far less earth shattering example than yours would be me putting off my grad school application). And gosh, if those tasks involve phone calls... yick! I hate it. Even at work I have a tough time starting a task that I'm not sure of how to complete.

However, we usually tackle these obstacles, and I know you will too, sweetie. You are strong and brave and I think you'll be really happy with this change. I know you can handle it, and maybe you can use it as a chance to change/reinvent/add/eliminate things that you dislike or like about yourself... you can be you, but yet different, too. I'm really proud of you, Jen, no matter what.

I love you, and I'm here for you if you need anything!!

Kristy! Thank you so much!!! It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I felt so much better after I read your note!

I love you too! And I hope you know that I'm here for you too!

You could have the same haircut, but maybe different color hair. Think of the possibilities! :) There are a lot of positive things about moving too.

I know there are, but it's more dramatic to list the cons.

Hmmmmm...maybe I'll grow a beard... :)

Have you ever made a big move?
