So, I moved across the country and am now residing in Boston, Massachusetts. My life is totally different now, and I think it's for the better. This is definitely a life more suited to me, I will say that.
It's interesting though, as I kind of expect to 'wake up' from this, and go in to work at my old job. It's something totally different here, but I'm not sure I'm any different. A lot of this could be because I have such a strong self-presence as it is, that external factors don't really change it. I'm not sure how to evaluate that though.
With all I've been learning though, maybe I should design a research study to test it (-:
I dunno though. I have more control on my schedule, and more unscheduled responsibility. I'm rather pleasantly surprised how well I've handled that as unscheduled responsibility (read: homework) has historically been a problem for me, but I seem to be keeping up with things very well this time. I'm reading more than I ever have before, and retaining it better than I used to.
Yet many of the same problems I had before followed me here, naturally those dealing with relationships. I'm now at two busts, one friend-zoned, and one potential. Plus I'm still dealing with the emotional fallout from my marriage. *sigh*
I guess in aggregate I have to say I haven't really changed, which isn't a bad thing, I really like who I am.
