Im back in marietta trying to figure out what comes after undergrad. the plan was gradschool, but the opportunity to work at ridgeview with eating disorders presented itself and i had to take it. i love my job! it is exactly the experience i need for grad school and i know i will learn more from the hands on experience than i ever could in a class room. i think ill apply to grad once i have about a year's experience in the field. as far as my eating disorder is going... i still chew and spit occasionally, but im not puking much at all anymore and im definately not depressed. i saw kylan last night and for the first time in years i did not feel anger...just a hope that he is happy and healthy. i feel strangely mature and successful. im at a point in my life and relationship that i have no doubt i would be married to gwen if she were a guy. i know that is hard for her to hear and it is hard to think. cognitive dissonance because i know that if it werent for our culture and the way we have been socialized and i didnt care so much what ppl thought of me and about not hurting those that love me..we'd have rings on our fingers right now...but then that would mean losing most of my identity so for now i just dream of a day that everyone celebrates our love.
i would like to rekindle friendships in the marietta area. im making new friends since Berry, but it would be nice to have some ppl in my life who are familiar with my past. hit me up if you are in marietta and would like to hang out sometime!
