Why is every couple of months such a dramatic departure from the last for me? Some events are of course out of my control: breakups, acquisitions, etc. But even in those, how I choose to deal with them is never lying down. Every attempt is made to grow from these situations, even if that which caused them, simply isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I spent an hour telling the back stories of the power struggles and lack of commitment today. Patterns that I knew were there, that I have scratched in with pencil, were outlined in pen today. Dating the emotionally unavailable has happened more than once. A connection to those who take their independance so deeply to their core identity they stubbornly refuse to let it be held. More that I don&#8217;t have time to write about right now.<\/p>\n<p>Of course my share of trials and their lessons work into these thoughts. Being too amiable has been mutated by ponderings of limerance, but accepted that it&#8217;s not actually wrong of me, I must be careful to not have it taken advantage of. I look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/starheadboy\/3557493543\/\">starheadboy&#8217;s checklists<\/a> over my desk, &#8220;I love myself and what I do&#8221;, and remember that I identify as easy-going and I&#8217;m proud of making the effort to make the life easier of those I care about. Sometimes those people simply don&#8217;t want comfort that they don&#8217;t have to fight for and &#8216;earn&#8217;, unwilling to accept good things.<\/p>\n<p>Also,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tori Brewster listed you as her brother on Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Awww!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Realized today I&#8217;d been working on debian packaging for chef since January and thought back to all that&#8217;s happened since.\u00a0 Eight months does not seem that long at all when I consider how much my life has changed since then.
