Decisions, Transitions

Oct 26, 2004 10:17

I feel like I'm leading two lives now - there's High School Jodi and University Jodi. At home, I'm Just Jodi (like Just Jack, only uncool) and that provides a nice resting place. I have all my new university stuff - people, work, campus, routine, and all that jazz, and I'm also trying to keep up with the friends and events that made the last four ( Read more... )

I definitely have that sinking feeling of being left behind while everyone moves on. And the worst part is that I'm absolute CRAP at making new friends. The friends I have now I've known since kindergarten, OR I've met through people that I've known since kindergarten. I will know no one come January. Everyone seems to have a whole other life in Uni and it depresses me. Not that other people are actually having a life, of course, but the fact that I have such a severe LACK of one.

You know what song I still love? Hey Jude. Even if they were Jerks of Gigantic Proportions.

'Hey Jude' is a beautiful song...I should listen to it today. So, how do we maintain a connection when nothing (or very little) is the same? I haven't figured out how to make everything work. I think everyone has the same amount of Life, but we're all in different dimensions now.

Dear Jodi,

Chillax man. Just go with the flow like I do. I often find it hard to belive that I, one who is prone to fits of violent rage, is more laid back than you. waddap with that yo?

I was very much going with the flow until...today. I could explain it all to you, but I won't. At least not here. And not now.

Aw, I hope you know you can talk to me any time. And I like things being explained to me, it makes me feel like a baby. Which goes back to the whole submission feti... too far.

I know what you mean about the double life thing... comencement kinda solidified (sp? Proabably wrong)Right now I feel like I am in purgatory... inbetween these two ways of living... hey if anything you are better off than me, at least you have two seperate lives not just a whole bunch of no-man's land in the middle with no "man's" land at either end... I hope that makes sense. And don't feel... I'm tempted to say guilty, but I don't think that discribes it well enough... about being happy. You really should be proud of the fact you found something that a lot of us are lacking and/or searching for in our lives. And, I think I speak for most of us (I wouldn't dare speak for all of us) when I say we are really happy that you found happiness. Also, don't feel you need to censor... for lack of a better word, your LJ to include stories that we will all would know all the details of. Remember back in the courtyard... this is our way of keeping in touch... although we may not know the faces or names or fully understand the context of your ( ... )

Thank you so much, Tyana. When will I get to see you for any amount of time during which we can really talk? I do miss seeing you people and having very real conversations. LJs are nice, but they don't quite cut it for me.

Your comment made me feel infinitely better, immediately. Your inner eye will never need glasses.

disbeangie October 27 2004, 17:37:43 UTC

aww that was so nice! But yea, I agree with what Tyana said. Don't worry about it and just live your life the best way you can.
