I thought it might be a bad analogy:MisaBlue wrote:What is that?ygmir wrote: *searching sachel for "the things that make me smile" list*

I was trying to mean (I guess, baseball here would make no sense there), that you could choose from several options......
all in all, a poorly conceived analogy, though.
dang, I know so little about sports.

No, I think fielder's choice is an apt analogy. It doesn't mean you are leaving it up to chance, it means to me that you can have the outcome you want from more than one action.
I took score at too many baseball games, and I might not even remember it right. Misa: oh god, should I even try to explain some baseball rules? quick picture: the defense person may have more than one offensive player they can put out of the running as they are forced to the next base by the hitter having to run to the first base. The scorekeeper records the out as a fielder's (defense palyer is in the field, a fielder) choice.

Fae, you are very young. When you get insight, it does take time to change your life, and it is easy to lose your way and forget your insights. Luckily you have time and insights come back again. The important things will stay over time and you get to sort it out as you will. I got to the burn in my late 30s so in ways my trajectory was very different. But most of us were uncomfortable in our own skins to some degree or another. Don't fret about that.FaeTora wrote:I just... don't know. I have never felt a part of anything in my life. BRC... BM... awh gawd it was amazing. And there were thousand, literaly, thousands of people like me. but back in defaultia, none of the lessons which mean so much to me are doing me any good. Maybe they aren't supposed to make the changes that I thought would happen. Maybe my job is supposed to go to shit. I don't know.
it just feels.... i don;t know. I guess I just feel even more seperated from all the others. I didn't think I would. When I was at BM, I thought I would take this feeling home to my freinds. It turns out none of them like it except for my burner friends.
I just don't know.
I guess I have a lot of work to do.

Oh honey, we all make that mistake. Turns out the lessons, the deep lessons, are things you have to learn by yourself. And if anyone tells you it just sounds like a piece of gibberish from sunday school. Live your insights and they will notice and hold on to the ones who really "get" that.FaeTora wrote:i just thought...that they would all apreciate the lessons I learned.

Pretty much. It's a combination of I actually have nothing to do, and what I do have to do is boring and takes me about five minutes.ygmir wrote:do you literally just have to wait for something to write?
I have actually cried here, from sheer frustration and boredom.
If work blocks Netflix (watch it now!) I will be totally screwed.

there's gotta be a silver lining there.
