Thoughts on Time and Space
On the eve of my 28th birthday, I'm faced with a lot of life that's happened. At times, it slipped by me while I wasn't looking. Other points in the past are seared into my memory: starkly dreary, amazingly beautiful, inspirational...
Spring is really blooming, despite the cold weather. I'm rather excited by the possibilities of life, and I try to remind myself that it's perfectly acceptable to not have A Plan. Too many people I know are wrapped up in Need To Do's. Especially important to many women is breeding. I suppose five years from now, this might be a concern of mine as well. But not now.
I'm perfectly happy having zero obligations that I can't get out of if I need to. Granted, I've attached myself to things: work, WILPF, blogs, and an extension on my lease. And during the winter of my discontent, I let go of some things. More importantly, I reached back and pulled myself to the surface: while I don't regret falling in love, I've learned the difference between love and co-dependence. My new interactions with the world aren't based on desperate need, rather I start from choice and move through preference to desire.
And now, I must push myself to do more than babble to myself and watch Lost.

Last night I watched American Pie. I only mentioned this because on my first read through WILPF became MILF and changed the context of the whole entry..... Sorry.
