Today and Sometimes
I feel it's hard to overcome the inertia to do something...anything...productive. I feel like I have become so bad at listening that people talk talk to me anymore. I feel like I have too high expectations of others sometimes...of course disappointment follows. I feel like I am stationary while the world just passes me by. I feel like people are always waiting for me. Like now. Gotta go.

Well, you redesigned the site, that's doing something. I like it.
And to answer your stream of consciousness with my stream of unconsciousness(past my bedtime)...
I have now found that the only way to get that initial momentum is to, "Just do it (tm)". Not the answer we want, but once you get going it seems much easier. Now to find the motivation for that first push, I have no idea.
And we all know that when you do do something, it is always productive and well done.
So just look at people as just the same as you, they have completely different lives, but deal with the same issues as everyone else. Maybe by listening to them more, you'll end up finding more about yourself.
The 'world passing me by' feeling should then take care of itself.
But then again, maybe people do deal with different issues after all and none of this will apply to you :D But hey, I'll post it anyways, I've seen it work here.
if you refuse to listen, you are refusing to learn, change and most importantly, it shows disrepect to those who are sharing. therefore, goes against "treat others as how you would like to be treated".
it's true that most topics can be ignored, but in most talks, there are gems, which are words spoken by close loved ones that care and want to help you. so to ignore the advice, is to ignore the love they share.
we all share the emotions you are going through now....one of being alone and of uncertainty, but most choose how they would let that affect them, and move away from resigning to the fact. just like what chris said.
sarah, we all have high expectations of others, but have you ever thought of what other's expectations of you are?
it's normal for us to expect of others, but then we should not forget to look inwards to see if we are living to other's expectation of us. especially remindful at this season, it's better to give than receive.
hope & pray that you overcome this period, and move on to what life awaits you if you only took the steps.
Thank you for the honest comments, and the time they took to write. I did appreciate them, and the wisdom shared. At the same time, I wonder...am I wrong to feel a bit defensive in regards to the latter?
sarah, if you feel any sort of discomfort with the 2nd comment, i think that is normal and appropriate. i don't know why people post anonymously, especially when what they want to say is of such a personal nature. it's common courtesy to name yourself and to own your advice too.
i'd love to meet up with you, sarah, when you feel a bit more setteld in vancouver. you've been quite the gypsy lately!!! give me a ring or email. hugs!
