So it tickles me (stupid expression?) that by far my most popular post has been about my dating misadventures. And I will say, that's the one I had the most fun writing and was the most excited to share. I was also a little nervous because it is such a personal subject but hey it's pretty funny I will admit.
In the future I would love to share more dating disasters (although I hope there won't be too many!) but right now my love life is kinda on hold. As my wise little sister said a couple weeks ago "you don't need to get involved with anyone since you're about to move. You don't need a long distance relationship!" She said this so matter of factly that I just busted out laughing. Truly words of wisdom from the mouth of babes (it amazes me that as she has gotten older my sister, who is younger by 6 years, has really become my partner in crime).
It kinda stinks, I know you are supposed to live every day to the fullest, but I feel like a major part of my life is still waiting to begin. And I'm not just referring to my love life but also my professional life as well. There's this tribe in Africa that I learned a little about in an anthro class. The boys go through what is called a liminal stage, the period between when they are boys and when they are men of the community, and that's kinda how I feel (minus the part where I go live in the woods for a year). But right now I'm in a kind of exile back home, working temporarily in a job I don't really like. So I'm wondering, is it ok to feel this way?
