I have been thinking about this one a lot actually. I wish that the saying "you learn something new everyday" truly applied to me and that I had a list of 30 things to share with you...but not sure I am there...But I will ramble off plenty of random things for you.
1. I am the strongest I have ever been (I can lift men above my head, with their help with a jump of course) and I shouldn't be afraid about my once broken ribs.
2. I like baseball way more than I ever thought I would
3. Mad Men is one brilliant TV show!
4. I miss choreographing & performing MY work
5. I love spending a quite evening at home making a big delicious dinner with my boyfriend. It is way better than going out to eat in my book.
6. I have little patients for those who create drama and stress for themselves and then complain about it.
7. I miss my friends and family from the midwest (I always know this but I have been reminded just how much this past month)
8. I have an itch to look into grad schools (even though I don't plan to attend for awhile still)
9. I really do love writing
10. A good friend in SF recently reminded me not to lose myself in my work, boyfriend, dance, and volunteering. Not really something I "learned" but an amazing reminder. She reminded me how easy it is to get trapped in other people's worlds (especially talking about Paul since we are both so different) but the friendly reminder to stay true to myself was great to hear and while I don't think I lost myself, it also pushed me to also remind Paul to be involved with my interests too, not just me being involved in his. This is a much longer lesson, but I think I often fear welcoming others into my crazy artist life and so I adapt to theirs. An artist gets rejected enough, getting rejected from people we really care about it hard. This is not to say that Paul would reject my passion, my work, my life, but I have found its been nice to not have him as involved in it but now may be the time to not throw him in full force but to encourage him to enter in more often. If I don't open that part of me up to him, how will he ever truly know me completely right?
