Get a job that allows me to grow
GROWING 21 months ago

Growing is hard and it sucks. It asks me to face all the parts of myself that need work, all at once. There’s no intermediary of mindless work and socializing like if I had another job on the side. No it’s unfiltered ME all the time, facing these obstacles. It was great when I had an intermediary, it could be my escape, now it’s my vocation. I’m at the beginning of a 30 year journey, and it like any beginning: dark, chaotic.

Rediscover how powerful I am
this is what new york has given me 2 years ago

Or maybe it happens when you settle in anywhere. I think this goal really never ends, we become more powerful as we age.

On the day before my birthday, my last full day of being 25, I have realized how far I have come in the past year. There’s one hurdle left, that finding a job thing, but if that’s all that’s left I can tackle it. I have come so far and life has given me so much support, feedback, perspective, people, places, and a purpose. I have acheived everything I want in life right now and that is real power.

move (read all 2 entries…)
finally 2 years ago

When I look at my last entry from when I entered this goal, I feel like I’ve come so far. I have trees on the street and in the backyard, a view to the water, rooms, walls and places to hang art and pictures, I have a windowseat, and this amazing authentic mexican neighborhood that is alive with tamales, elotes, fresh tacos, and champurrados. I still need to find my resources from here to Park Slope (where is the closest place to buy soymilk?!), basically where my life fits in with this place (and I’m disappointed that Fresh Direct doesn’t deliver here, but I’m used to that). This process has been exhausting and it took me out of whatever mental, professional, relational processes I was focusing on. It takes over everything. But we acheived it, giving up laundry, a huge kitchen and an easy commute. We have to get used to living in our landlord’s house, asking them for more than 5 minutes of hot water and to fix the water pressure. but god the sun on the fall trees is just beautiful. I don’t miss my old place at all, and that is significant.
