Already one year
I really need to get away. But running from my problems doesn’t get rid of them, now, does it? Will I be any better off in another country? Will I learn to stand up for myself, to speak out when I have something to say? Remember AAMP training—remember the energy of empowerment born from those two weeks of enlightenment—remember that the most important thing you learned was the absolute vitalness of finding your voice.
I think that one of these days you’re going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you’ve got to start going there.

Tea always reminds me of my blind friend date with LeeAnn way back when, at the Tealuxe on Thayer. What a wonderful day it was. I remember being amazed at how significant a simple human connection can be. We travel through life and sometimes we let other travelers leave their footprints in our heart. Such is the essence of life.

You Don’t Need To Be In A Relationship To Live Romantically
“I’m liberated. And the most liberating truth I’ve learned in the past few years has been this: You don’t need to be in a relationship to live your life romantically.
“Despite my perpetually single status, I am a very romantic person. I can fall in love within a matter of minutes. I care deeply about people. Every corner I turn, I potentially face someone new, someone fascinating, even if it’s just for a few days. I’ve never had meaningless sex in my life.
“And the times when I am most romantic is when I am with myself, loving myself and taking care of myself. I enjoy long walks on the beach as much as anyone else; I just like to do them alone. It’s taken me a long time to get to a point where I realize that my self-love is all I really need.”
This must explain why/how I’ve been going to shows every week. Music is my everything. It keeps me sane.
