Ennui

Have you ever wanted to just start over? I mean quit your job, sell your belongings and move somewhere that nobody has ever heard of you. Reinvent yourself among a group of people who have no preconceived notions about you.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I honestly thought I could leave my emotional baggage behind.

In answer to your question, certainly. It's why I like this quote from R.A. MacAvoy's Tea with the Black Dragon: "Every time is the first time."

We don't need to leave to start over. Our reflection stays with us either way.

I almost did it.

I did the moving part. But despite what tends to happen travelling with luggage, Air Canada didn't lose my emotional baggage.

life doesn't work like that. The reality is that we make our own happiness - and find it in our own unique ways.

I've found that one of the best ways for me to "get beyond" things that are really stressing me out is my journal. (not the online variety - but classic pen and paper) - there's something amazingly relaxing about writing down your thoughts. It doesn't always resolve things, but the process of putting it to words helps me put my feelings in perspective - which enables me to find ways to handle it that are constructive.

...just thinking aloud ...
