Cast in the name of Karma, Ye not Guilty.

Well, I’m Back.

And I both apologize for the years of cringe pre-hiatus and the possible years of cringe now post-hiatus. A lot’s been happening over the past few months, never mind the 3+ years I was away. I wish I could say I got it all figured out during that time, but shit dude, y’all see the world we live in.

Anyway, might post some memes here, some rants there, that kinda thing.

If I can survive 4 years of academia and writing the 35+ pages of reports I had to take care of last week alone, I can assure you that you’re badass enough to handle your business and that you’re gonna be fine partner.

Realized I haven’t given you guys an update on my life in a while, so I figured I might as well while I’ve got the time. In short:

I joined the Peace Corps.

The benevolent wills of 1,000 angels nor the vengeful wrath of 1,000 demons could end all this paperwork

The plane leaves in March for Indonesia, I’ll be a secondary English education teacher there (assuming everything works out) until 2019

Maybe my family will leave me out of its incessant bickering once I’m an actual expanse of ocean away from them (I’m feeling lucky)

I (hopefully) graduate in December.

Bachelor’s of Arts in English (Writing Specialization), minor in U.S. History

If the History Department changes its curriculum one more time I’m dumping 46 tons of tea in their parking lot

Do your general education coursework at a community college if you can kids, you’ll save sooooo much money

Being intelligent is often a prerequisite for being a professor, but apparently not for running a friggin’ college campus

A college education is not necessary to succeed, but if you have the option consider it

I work on campus now, been about a year since I left retail.

Yes retail deserves to die, and I hope it burns in hell

One $0.25 raise over a two year span for working 8+ hour days across six different stores in various departments is bullshit

I work on-campus as a writing tutor now

God I love it

My bosses, coworkers, and students also love me

To see them succeed gives me a feeling of pride I didn’t think I was capable of feeling

I figured out what I want to do when I grow up.

I want to promote education not where it is, but where the people with a desire to learn wish for it to be. I don’t feel people should have to face insurmountable odds or even the threat of death in order to simply learn knowledge that they can use to help themselves and others should they wish to do so

This actually has a lot to do with why I joined the Peace Corps

It only took 22 bloody years (so don’t ever feel like you have to have anything figured out from the start, like ever)

I still have STPD, carry excessive amounts of guilt for the wrongs I’ve committed, experience (near weekly) existential crises, can’t stand my body, and struggle to form connections with others.

But here I am

Suffering is an essential thread in this multi-faceted quilt we call being human

It sucks, but it helps us grow and pushes us to achieve outcomes we never believed possible

Never doubt/limit yourself

When in peril keep going so that you may sooner find somewhere you wish to be

You are the most qualified individual to walk in your own shoes

Should you find that no place exists for you where you are, make one for yourself

Practice self-care

Know that you deserve good things

Reach out if you need to talk about something

If you have no one else, I will happily listen

I love you my friends, and strangers I wish for us to be friends so that I may love you too
