Hey, SG world. The last 3 weeks have been massively transformative for me - very interesting to say the least.
I survived the 12/21 thing, and it appears you all did as well; good, way to stick it to the man. Show the End of Days who's boss yet again...
Well. The very next day, I was robbed at work. For some reason, having a gun pointed at you kinda messes with you. The process has been a rather enlightening one. That job was incredibly taxing on me in every way, and though the thought of quitting surfaced a lot, I never followed through with it. That whole "life flashes before your eyes" thing is not an easy or fun thing to face, but when handled face to face, it's the most beautiful blessing - and that's been the entire approach to this: Finding out everything I can regarding this feeling, the anxiety, the situation itself, the healing process, coping, etc. Hopefully, through what I've been able to extract from it and put into writing will help others heal.
For more info on that, you can read all about it on my blog: sivmia.blogspot.com
Needless to say, that made the holidays a rather unique time for me. I was a zombie for a few days, but it was so nice to see friends and family be there for me. My former boss hooked me up with a massage, and that person has already proven to be one of those game changers for me. The massage was beautiful, but she's opened me up to a world that I've been craving my entire life.
Salt Lake really has a booming art community. I've found myself among some high quality poets lately. Spoken word has always been a huge intrigue of mine; it's so amazing to me to finally have a venue for that in my life now.
Time away from the working world has allowed me to reset, really get back in touch with my own rhythm. Tonight, I'll start compiling my book; which shouldn't take too long to put together and edit - then the search for publication is on! Also in the meantime, I'm really committing myself to my music. Not looking back on it, and as I get stuff done, I will absolutely share it with you guys.
Oh yeah! Got a new roommate as well!
