I'm alive and well

[emberleo]

It's been a long time since I've posted here or anywhere really public, sorry.

I'm alive. I'm rather busy. I'm pretty happy. I just haven't been in a headspace for this stuff, that's all.

Love to you all!

Good to see you - glad you're well! *hugs*

Well, aside from the anxiety spikes from my GREs coming up and some other good-but-scary things, yeah.

In fact right now I'd say the single biggest problem I'm having in my life is that the process of tying up the loose ends of old promises and responsibilities is both making me feel horribly guilty, and leaving me a bit low on energy for sorting out the connections I'm less sure I'm ready to step away from.

I am several kinds of over-committed. The Vanir have more than adequately pointed this out. That's fine. I'm doing well, I think, about being responsible in stepping back from most of those connections and commitments.

But others fall by the wayside as a side effect, and I don't have confidence that I'm not leaving a trail of angry, lonely, unhappy people behind me as I move on to What Is Next. I'm trying really hard not to burn these bridges, just to put them behind me, but my anxiety gives me no gauge at all as to whether I'm succeeding at that, and, well, maybe there's yet another reason they call me "Ember", no?

This should be an entry...

Am glad that I will not have to hunt you down, cuz I was getting ready to. :D

You're silly - YOU have seen me many times recently!

Although it turns out I probably can't make it to your talk at the At-Home after all, because I have something I must do for work :/

Maybe I can take you to dinner and you can explain the stuffs to me one-on-one ;D
