That's another thing I've been looking into. I need to get involved in something. I was volunteering for Reading for the Blind for a while. I'm not really sure why I stopped. I started to look on the Valley's website for more volunteer opportunities. I know a big part of my problems stem from not feeling or being connected.
Thinking back, I felt it was wise for us to move up to Ohio. But by leaving and going to a new place, we had to get acclimated all over again. Maybe my husband didn't because he grew up here, but I think he still had some adjustment issues. We all do when we leave a place we call home and then try to come back to it. It never really is the same. We don't notice when we stay because we mold and change with the place. It's only noticable when you leave.
Living up here for four years, we've been going to school and working. And that's about it. I'm so ready to do something new with my life....something different. Obviously, having a job is a means of necessity. Can't change that. I have obligations now. I have a family and a house. We don't have children YET, but they'll eventually come along too.
I need to find a way to appreciate and thrive in my life now instead of wishing it could be different. The realizations I've come to about being a TCK have been refreshing and enlightening. It's taken me a long time. The realizations I'm coming to about PMDD are still coming into focus, and that's OK because it's a balancing act. Now, it's time to take all of this information, accept it for what it is, and live my life. I've been existing for so long. Existing and living are two very different things.
It's all a matter of perspective and while my perspective is positive, I want to take full advantage of that!
