Why am I unhappy?
Why am I unhappy? Surprise accompanies this question because I thought moving away from Northern Virginia would solve things for me. I hated my office job, the cold and dreary weather, the traffic congestion, the materialism, the way everyone was so busy all the time.
I now realize I am unhappy because really NOTHING has changed about my situation except now I have sunny weather but fewer friends. So it must be ME: I am the problem. I make the same poor choices today that made me unhappy a year ago. I still come home from my boring job, tired from working inside, and feel drained. I haven't tried surfing, windsurfing, or become scuba certified like I thought I would. I haven't yet taken an art class, or continued swing dancing, or read all the books I wanted.
I feel trapped by my own choices...but I don't know how to choose differently because that would require **thinking** differently and I don't know how to do that.
