Cdn2wheeler – Yes. It seems that there’s a tendency for me to be stuck and not make a decision. Just camping out in no man’s land waiting for a divine light to shine. Thanks for pointing out the obvious but hidden from my view. I realized that I’m waiting for an external factor to move me rather then find the strength from within.
Lola/Love – I’ve pondered about my beliefs about college and the utility of a degree in my life. It’s so easy, at the same time so wrong, to belief that just getting that piece of paper is the gateway to “success” as defined by a material standard of living and meeting a social expectation. To use the pretext of higher education solely for a false sense of security is the biggest lie that I actually want to belief. It’s a new frontier out there when we start to define success for ourselves and structure our lives to live it. Scary? You bet. Liberating and Exciting? You bet.
Jimofferman/Ixmatus – Thanks for the perspective from the outside. You guys are the trailblazers.
All in all, I’ve decided not to return. But I’m keeping the option open to attend the next semester as an experiment for personal reinvention.
Thanks to all.  |
