juldeaso I've done pretty well at forging myself a materially-independent lifestyle - I pay my own rent, car payments, food, fun, gas, insurance - the only thing I don't pay for is my tuition. Maybe this is somehow connected?
However, being spritually and emotionally and intellectually independent is failing miserably. Anyone know of a good deserted island?

on 14 Nov 2001 12:03 (UTC)and maybe i'm not all alone in the way you're thinking... but i did move overseas away from everyone i know but nick, and he's not home a great deal of the time, so i certainly FEEL alone.

on 14 Nov 2001 15:44 (UTC)then i remembered later that i had a boss named juan who wanted to have sex with me a long time ago (er, i guess just over 2 years ago, but it seems like a long time ago). so it was weird anyway.

on 14 Nov 2001 15:47 (UTC)I read somewhere one that there are two types of people (aren't there always?:P), those who need time by themselves to recharge, clear their heads, etc and those who thrive on the company of other people - does this make sense? I think working out which one you are, or where along that spectrum you lie, can be helpful.
Re:
on 14 Nov 2001 16:29 (UTC)That's what I'm trying to avoid - I'll enjoy the company of my friends, and others that I surround myself with, and certainly their company is wonderful! - but I won't depend on it, because these people won't always be around. And there won't always be someone to take their place. Someday I might just be alone, and I'm going to have to deal with it. Better learn now.
Re:
on 15 Nov 2001 21:47 (UTC)And if it does happen why not learn to deal with it at the time? Why put yourself through unnecessary grief now just in case it happens?
