Let's Begin Again

The great domestication experiment has not gone well… But let’s start from the middle.

After my dog died in December, I finally graduated with a B.A. after 15 years in and out of school. In April I quit my job, a terrible job that I hated but needed while I was in school. I have managed to get by since then, but at some point I will need to suck it up and get an adult job. It’s not what I want, but it is what I need.

Add to this that a year ago, almost to the day, the Male Unit in my relationship decided to move into his own place. We are still together, but living separately. It is glorious, but it is also why I needed to get a crappy job in my last semester of school.

I don’t want to work a 9 to 5 job. I never even really wanted to get a degree. I have no idea what I want to do, I only know what I don’t want to do.

I was supposed to start a blog about trying to figure out being a stay-at-home-girlfriend years ago, then it was going to be about living alone again… now it will be about trying to find my place in the world.

I have no idea how this will go, if anyone will read it, or if I will do regular updates. What I do know is that I am not alone. There are so many people out there who are lost, confused, and annoyed at living a life they don’t want to but have no other choice.

I will one day have it all, whatever it is. For now, I have to clean out the spare room in my place for someone who may or may not need it, and then find a job to keep the place because I definitely need it. Here’s hoping it all goes well.
