Alllmost!

My existential crisis is almost over. Allllmost. I can feel my questions coming to an end. Maybe. I still don’t know why I’m not a diving instructor in the Dominican Republic or a sherpa in Peru. Maybe because my ears can’t handle it. Maybe because I like sea level. Why am I in Venice? I don’t know. Why am I in my pajamas? I don’t know. But I’m getting closer to the answer. I’m happy to be doing this:

 

Regular posts will resume next week. Unless I decide to become a Buddhist nun, which is on my list.

      Nope, stop trying to steal my crisis. It’s definitely on the East Coast. WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVERYTHING? WHY AM I HERE? … is what I would ask if I could pull myself off the couch and stop watching “Grey’s Anatomy” reruns long enough to think about my train wreck of a life.

      And on an upbeat note, that is an awesome video. Your moms are correct. Best show ever ever ever. Ever.

    The Crisis has also hit tulsa, ok. i can’t think of a reason to bother anymore, and my cat has been institutionalized.

    It’s so great to get a new post by you! I missed your words!

    Existentialism sucks! It’s a downer for me… I have the perfect cure for it*…
    Listen to Sunscreen. On repeat.
    Exercise. Until your past the I wana throw up stage and into the truly exhilarated one. And then enjoy a shower.
    Do something really thoughtful for someone else.
    Watch a Ted.com video tagged inspiring.
    Then I try to ask myself at what times do I feel alive and happy- which allows me to gain perspective.
    Do those in any order- it usually works to get me out of my head and actually enjoy the life I am creating for myself.
    Hope that helps! You are missed here.

    Reading the comments I almost feel guilty for not being in the middle of a crisis. Like, am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to be in a crisis? Maybe I’m not deep enough at this point in my life to enjoy a crisis?

    What’s wrong with me? Why am I not questioning my existence?
