So far, 2011 has been a year where I start my life over from scratch (it appears to happen every 5 years). I’m learning to dismiss past accomplishments, experiences, and lifestyles to avoid any sense of privilege and entitlement I arrogantly thought I deserved. I’ve lived out of 3 duffle bags, a recently purchased $50 twin size bed from Big Lots and 4 different couches. The first few months I did a series of odd jobs while working on a plan to re-establish myself. First 5 months of the year I was only able to hustle up enough money to pay my cell phone bill. I confronted and shedded all unhealthy notions of what I felt was ultimate failure. I am understanding and learning to let go. It’s been about 10 months since I’ve decided to go back to the drawing boards on the plan for my life. My state of mind and sense of hope have improved since…
