Caught spinning, once again.
I’m not sure why: the semester is ending and I’m scheduled to teach both summer sessions, but something feels. . . off. Unmoored.
This makes no sense. Yes, I’ll have a bit of time before classes begin, but I feel that same sense of drift I’ve had something has ended and there’s nothing else to begin. I hate this feeling; I dread this feeling.
It’s as if I’m cycling around and around, moving, but stuck all the same.
It’s about money. It’s about career. It’s about commitment. It’s about discipline. It’s about every god-damned thing it’s been about every god-damned previous cycle.
I wrote a piece a few weeks ago about my friend M. and her need to go back and around with her cruddy boyfriend again and again until she managed to set herself free.
At least she stretched herself with each go-around; at least she tried.
I’m tethered to nothing and no one and all I do is go around and around anyway.
I’m going to have to stick to something if I am to get unstuck.

I know how you feel. There’s so many things I want to do, yet I’m stuck in a loop of trying to get certain necessary things done before I can start on the bigger, broader goals.
It’s frustrating as hell, lemme tell ya.
