Taking a break...

[twilitemystique]

Well, I guess this is gonna be a bit out of order, since I am taking a break from writing about Chicago, and am writing about home now. You know what I just realized? I seem to have two moods. Happy and sad. That's it. I seem to alternate between these two extremes, never really experiencing the myriad of other emotions between. I wonder why

I remember having a conversation with my sister where she was reflecting on how odd she thought it was when she was a teenager, that adults had such strong (and often uninformed) opinions on things. I think of this from both perspectives, young and old, where neither has a clear enough picture of self to be objective. Anti-social is a harsh self-evaluation. Probably too harsh to describe you, even in the short time we've known each other. We are all in an ongoing process of learning about ourselves and eventually that leads us to places where we have little or no interest in certain people or things. We only have so much time and effort so spend, and age makes us a bit more conservative with the efforts we make. There's nothing wrong about that.

I hope your self-evaluation helps you along your true path. I look forward to seeing what emerges from it!

Well everyone needs that time away and I know you will be back so I won't worry too much. Email me or something when you do get back and ask if you want my opinion or advice, I'm never short on either of those. You are not shallow really. I know you have a lot of depth to you. It's just a defense mechanism. Take all the time you need. Stop and live life a little. Take time to watch the critters and smell the plants and just be you. You can get back whatever you've lost, I'm sure. You have real friends who care. Lean on them for support. That's what they are there for.

I wish you lots of peace and understanding my friend.
