psedo-woman

September has a way of kicking my butt into high gear. 'Back to school' mode has carried into my pseudo adult life.

Psedo-adulthood defined:
1. Whining at the thought of holidays being over.

In my case, this refers to starting a new job. This new job requires me to leave the house and be somewhere at a pre-determined time. Working from home has spoiled me. Oooh boy - you should hear me whine...

2. Old enough to know better, and too young really know anything.

When I was 9 I made the startling discovery that I knew everything. Or at least, I could pretty well follow along with any conversation.

Almost 20 years later - I discovered that what used to pass as 'following along' is a confusing blank stare (i.e. I get asked this a lot: "Sonja, do you have a question?").

I wonder how often my face looks bewildered?

3. Oscillating between self-discovery and utter confusion.

In July I decided that I would start a reggae band so that I could sing my heart out and inspire positive global action. A few weeks later I decided to become the editor of an online Yogi community. This week I started my new job at the climbing gym. I'm sure these paths will eventually converge. At this point I'm feeling slightly nauseaous from my rapid twists and turns.

ride on, ride on.
