soliciting advice

the fork in the road came but it's really the end. the branch fell when you tried to climb that tree. the hole in the ground filled in with earth before you could escape. i can't figure it out, maybe you can. maybe none of us can figure it out. maybe it's not worth figuring out. i have a choice: i can stay where i am and persist in my bizzare, enlightening dance with misery. i can go somewhere else and hope everything is magically better. maybe everything should be magically better. maybe it's not magic, it's the fact that i don't want to be where i am and that i've been planning my escape since i got here. i'm just not sure this is the escape route i want to take. meanwhile, if the oxygen has held out for 12 months, it can hold another 6. all signs point to yes.

if you aren't happy where you are why prolong the misery? unless something's holding you there you aren't conciously aware of...get out and do something new.

i agree with sj. wallowing is only so much fun and i think you've wrung every last bit of 'party' out of the proverbial pity party. then again i've got my own issues in the 'do i stick it out or not?' department--key difference being that i am mostly happy where i am stuck.

well, the thing is since i moved apartments, i have a lot more social options. that could make a huge difference.
