You know, I just wanted to say that:

1. You have such a way with words that it both inspires me and makes me envious of your talents. Like so many other talents you hold. I love it.

and b. I know how you feel about bugs. I'm the same exact way. I always sympathize with them, because they never do anything *wrong*... and yet they always get stuck in the worst situations.

I hope you have a wonderful, adventure-filled weekend, and don't stress too much about life. It's too short to take up so much of your energy. *hug*

This entry, specifically the metaphor involving you and the beetle, was so poetic. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you.

It sounds like you're thinking about moving back home, and judging yourself pretty harshly for it. Just remember, there will be many journeys home and away from home again.

I am jealous that you are going to be in Wellfleet and I won't be! I hope you have an awesome time. You should go check out Lieutenant Island, that's where I stay when I go to the Cape.

I understand completely about you wanting to move back home. I've been at that position before too; I just don't know when I'll be leaving yet. I have a feeling I'll know when the time arises, much like I knew the right time to leave Scott. I remember you and I having a conversation about decisions once, a year or two ago about the Ray stuff, about decision making like this. And one day, you just knew what to do. I'm hoping that happens for you with moving as well, so you know. You'll make the decision eventually. It will come to you.

First off, to say I’m highly impressed and moved by how eloquent your writing is would be vastly pale to the truth. I utterly identify with the poor kicking beetle, and although it would have skeeved me out, I would have had to turn him over too. You should write, and write often ( ... )

I really loved this response. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this to me. I've read and re-read it several times this weekend. You make some very valid and insightful points. I deal with change by making bigger changes... I won't be lonely when I truly love myself... etc.

I had a really great weekend on Cape Cod, and I wouldn't have had that if I wasn't single at this point in my life. I'm doing what I set out to do, which was to really experience this summer and to spend time getting to know myself. I feel better already, and I know I have some growing to do... The changes in my life are primarily for the better, so I have much to be optimistic about.
