The end of a week away from work and school, time to get back on the merry-go-round. I'm not quite ready but of course that doesn't matter.
I saw shifts in some relationships more clearly this week, I wonder if it was because I was free of the usual daily focii, with less to cloud my vision? Some of the changes were a little painful and sad. And I don't know if it's that I can't fix them, or if it is that I'm unwilling to do the hard work involved? Or somewhere in between, perhaps. And what does this say about me? Did I learn to walk away too readily or is it part of who I am? Nature vs nurture.
That writing contest is looking a bit unlikely at this point. So much time would need to be invested, and where will I come up with it? More to the point, what is there that I'd want to give up to make this happen? It might be time to let this one go.
Summer classes start tomorrow, and mostly they will be with students who are not in my class. This may be good, but I will miss the comfortable knowledge of each other, and the ease that goes with that.
Yet another peel of the onion...
