What's on Your Mind

Please publish travelogue on return.

I was at P-Town with friends.

it seemed to be very active when i first joined with all the rj'ers a few months ago

Well, I think a large number of RJers came over at the same time, and then after a while some of them decided this place wasn't for them, so they stopped coming back, or deleted their memberships. That's fine, one forum won't suit everyone.

Not that I'm glad to see anyone go, but it seems to me that the ones that have stayed have made a very positive change here, they offer great advice to those who ask, and they are productive members here.

You call THAT a travelogue?

WTF?

Hell, Mike, Dennis and Steve had a longer conversation about the name of a dog!

I think what you are experiencing is normal and I have to ask...if you changed locales would there be more opportunities?

thanks for that.

Well, it would be easier to decide if that is really the problem if I knew just exactly what it is I want to do with myself, career-wise. That's really the main issue. I am very driven, ambitious, and determined when I set my mind to do something. I just have to figure out what it is I want to do. *shaking my head with frustration* I really envy the people who have figured it out, or at least found something that they can make work for them.

Okay, have you considered the Minimalist approach to life?

East mentioned that your feelings are normal. That is true. What is also true, is that they do not have to be. One can change and follow a different path in life. We all have the choice as to what we wish to achieve / accomplish / pursue in life. How do you define success?

hmmm...I totally understand minimalism, but I would love for you to elaborate on just what you mean by using it in this situation. I think I get it, but give me a bit more.

I think I define success as being happy/content and PROUD of your chosen (or happenstance-like) profession.

So... I might get a job soon. Fingers crossed, I sure need income.

I'm confused...utterly so. I don't know if I should reply to an email that I received almost two weeks ago...this email being from the one that hurt me so much. I never forget...but can I forgive? I don't want to open up another can of worms. I hate that I am undecided.

^ If it's what I think it is...absolutely not. Please don't.

Maybe changing your environment will help you realize what it is? Come to California..we can hang out!

Thanks guys, I was having a big moment of weakness. East, you did say I could use it as a therapeutic sort of thing. I might do that instead.
