Pervy Slash Whore

Hello dear -- yes, we can be very hard on ourselves. Life is continually changing, boy have I found that out in the past 2 years, so whatever is happening now won't be what is happening 5 years from now, for good or ill, whether you do anything about it or not. I remember actually thinking out loud that I was content with my life about 2 years ago and then I got smacked upside the head and knocked sideways. I've been trying to regain equilibrium ever since. So, if you're content -- enjoy it. Enjoy all that makes you content. I've also found life is about finding a balance between all the things we must do and things we want to do. But it sounds as if you do feel something is missing -- you've talked about losing the writing mojo and it sounds like you want it back. It sounds like your contentedness is also a bit boring to you. Maybe it's time for us both to explore new things, or to explore things we always wanted to, but haven't. Make a list of those and begin to do them. If you want to write, set aside an hour every day and write whatever takes your fancy. Don't worry about it being the Great American Novel or whatever. I had some good luck with timed writing with friends. I'll send you a note. Hugs!!
