So here I am, 24, out of college and on to get my happiness back. All I wanted to be throughout my life and since childhood…. was happy and healthy. I’m practically neither. Well, I’m Happy, but a little lost. Does that make sense?
- There are no belly dancing groups around my area (to my knowledge). I was taught ballet as a girl while my mom paid for lessons, but when I was in high school, I met a "gypsy" woman (for lack of a better term) and she discussed tribal dances with me monthly. She passed a handful of years ago and I haven't met anyone with that particular interest since.
- I realized I'm good at releasing energy via dance and cognitive exercises but how can I KEEP some energy I might not need (or want, I don't know yet) to release and creatively re-shape it into a less raw and somehow else useful energy.....
- I used to meditate - and not often. Regularly, but not often :(
- What I seem to be drawn to now is a series of stretching that gets me closer to a meditative state that meditating did. I work out a lot, and before I do, I stretch for about an hour/hour fifteen. My trainer says it looks a bit like yoga, but I've tried yoga before and I hate it.
- I noticed that I'm more connected with my body when I USE it (like when I stretch or dance) than when I'm sitting calmly
- I’m in love with the moon. I cry every time I see him now, because I feel distanced. I want to end the hurt.
- borrowed money for first time in life. Thrice! Parents and two friends.
wanted to work, but school demanded my life enough that I couldn't work full-time and receive my grant. I had to be a full-time student. - debt for university tuition
- debt for opening a small business
- thousands of dollars for hearing aids (I have a high-frequency lost) and I never freakin' wear them because they are uncomfortable :(
- There was a six-week period where I kept losing my earrings. No joke. I owned the same earrings for eight years, and all of a sudden... within two months I'm down to like, five pairs.
- Tooth surgeries (three) followed by a broken foot
- Sick often from 2004-2009, so I had less time to exercise and my health went down the drain
- to spare you details, I had my first experiences with some common health concerns relating to being female
- I burst multiple hemorrhoids and lost a month of work (later to find out rumors were spread that I had an abortion. riiiiiiiight)
- at one point my doctor put me on estrogen (long story) and now, to be blunt, I have cellulite. [Estrogen softens the fibrous connective tissue that anchors the skin to the muscle. Look it up if you want.]
- I newly developed allergies. Like - WHAT?! I can’t be allergic to the OUTDOORS. I AM one with the outdoors. So, I think college tried to kill me. I want to get my family back (plants, animals, breeze…) and I refuse to buy pharmaceutically developed and altered drugs. However (aka in the meantime), I can’t breathe or see sometimes when I’m outdoors. I want to remedy this, permanently and naturally.
