For those of you that have read most of my past blogs, it will come as no surprise to you that I am, once again, living unhappily in New York. As I sit here trying to drown out city noise with the sounds of the Forest Meditation Room, I wonder if it really is at all possible for me to be content here. I picked a college in a beautiful landscape and I absolutely love it there. There's a gigantimongous (big) memorial park a few steps away that is pure, unparkified, glorious woods (minus ATV trail and the occasional paintball game). There's actually GRASS on campus and squirrels everywhere! And now here I am in New York again, with a park just as big (that's full of noise and people and fences and concrete) and I find myself wanting to go back to school for numerous reasons.
1. No parentals! It will always be a complaint. Always.
2. I actually really enjoy classes. Learning fills my days with something useful and new.
3. Friends. All of my acquaintances from New York are either not here anymore, or are captivated by drugs and alcohol. Not only do I not want to be a part of that lifestyle, but the devastating effect that using has had on these people's personalities leads me to think that they are not actually the same people I once knew.
I'll be fine. I know this. I'm lonely though....
