Adjusting to freedom

[tincan]

What is most difficult is that I am now the focal point of my own life. This leaves me feeling frightened, sketchy and unsatisfied. I am irritable, nervous and edgy. I am unaccustomed to this lack of boundaries, and like a stray dog I find myself skulking about in corners, twitchy and weird and baring my teeth. We do not speak of this, us feminists

thank god for that. i kinduv feel like an emotionally retarded circus freak lately. and it seems that everytime i start to explain myself to someone, their face descends into that putty-blankness and i say, "nevermind." is it so shameful to admit that it is difficult to be free?
