@kemonine Ahhh I totally get that and agree. Well said!

But seriously it's frustrating as all hell.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Averly Consider the flip side: if you're constantly working on being fulfilled and taking the 'road less traveled' you're going to exhaust someone on the well traveled path just by describing your day to day.

I've found anyone who's actively seeking fulfillment doesn't sit still and will get more accomplished in a day than the opposite would barely accomplish in a week.

Imagine how frustrating that'd be if a but wasn't up your butt 😉

@kemonine I love you 😊

@Averly Can we be special internet friends?

😉

@kemonine Omg the second I heard this notification, the daily Calm app tells me "it's time to meditate" LOL

@Averly Uh oh, the daily calm?

I hope every day is calm.

@kemonine I would be dishonest to say it is. It's not. My life is crazy and full of surprises and adventures because I have no idea what I'm doing anymore and meditation helps keep me sane. I mean, I've lived the high life and recently it's been low. So I'm going through the motions and trying to be the best I ever could 😉🤘🏼

@Averly I can certainly appreciate that. I'm just now coming out from underneath the thumb of a 2 year low point. (Meds FTW 😉)

I've found my back can take a LOT more than I ever imagined and going through the motions with your head high is still an accomplishment. 👍

Sounds like your back can handle the load and I bet Karma will throw you a bone before you break.

Any hobbies? They can help take the edge off.

@kemonine My interests are all over the spectrum. I love people. I love music. I love poetry, science, psychology, philosophy, history, art, books, cinema, etc etc. I love LIFE.

Even if it rains on my own little parade... I'll be the first one dancing in the puddles 😊

Sure I might not know when my next meal is or if/where I'm going to sleep for the next week BUT... I'll never give up. And I'll always do what I can.

I'm just happy you're here and well ❤️

@Averly I've danced in the puddles then built a fire to keep the rain away (yes, you can build a fire that creates a rain free bubble :wink:)

Sounds like you're a fan of books... Have you ever looked at Project Guttenburg and their theology section? There is some interesting material there I've been meaning to 'get to'.

Do you at least have a sleeping bag and tent? Not perfect but you'll always know where you're sleeping that way :wink:

@kemonine Yes! Always prepared. I'll definitely see about getting into more reading, once I get to DC TOMORROW!

An old friend bought me a one way ticket on the train (love trains!) so I'll be headed down the east coast and hope to find some solace there.

I have no money or any plan other than to enjoy the comfort of good people and a beautiful city 😊

@Averly DC is a slick, if expensive, place. I had family out that way growing up and I fondly remember driving a long time and visiting the museums.

I'm not a big city person myself but DC is one I'd be willing to visit again.

Do you have a camera [phone]? I could see a 'modern vagabond' photography project doing well...

@kemonine I never thought about that, until now. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you btw. 😘

@Averly anytime. I spent some time doing dirty jobs and they can be great if you're not wanting to commit too strongly. Cleaning up warehouses and working on construction crews were some of the most fun and straight forward jobs I've had.
