It must be so difficult for you to have discomfort at work (bringing up childhood crap), watching people you care about put up with abuse (more triggers) and dealing with non-stop chatter about the dead bigot (more ouch). All of this piled on top of moving back to the States? Oy vey.<BR/><BR/>The fact that you are still able to write, to feel and to negotiate this new landscape is beyond impressive. I hope you feel proud of yourself. You should. :)Demandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091293696750606102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-36392110283674165562007-05-18T08:42:00.000-07:002007-05-18T08:42:00.000-07:00I can relate a bit to what you're going through. ...I can relate a bit to what you're going through. As an actor and a singer I used to work out of town a lot. I'd go away for a month or two, get very close to the people was working with and the the next thing I knew I'd be back in New York home alone in my apartment. With all the back and forth it's hard to maintain friendships and any kind of consistency in your life. I figured out that I needed to set aside time to do something I really loved that helped me remember who I am. For me it was cooking. I find it theraputic, especially if I'm making a family recipe. It helps ground me. <BR/> <BR/>I know you're not a big cook, but it could be anything, any hobby: writing or scrapbooking or gardening--whatever. Just make it something you love that's a part of who you are. I don't know if any of this makes sense or will even work for you, but that's what helps me cope when I feel lost. Thanks for reading my unsolicited advice. I hope it helps.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and keep us posted. :-)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828311796354662076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-83406698631065143122007-05-18T08:34:00.000-07:002007-05-18T08:34:00.000-07:00When I read this entry it reminds me of how I feel...When I read this entry it reminds me of how I feel after returning home from a really good vacation....I miss the place where I was, I miss the people I was with, I feel like I belong back there and don't want to be back in my reality. It's depressing...but we work through it and soon we forget and jump back into our day to day life - that is IF you want to jump back in? Or...is it that you thought you wanted this life, but you have been there and done that already and really should be somewhere else?
