Today was one of those day when I just float along without much thought about where I'm heading or what I'm doing. You have days like that?
Since quitting my job last December, my life has slowly transformed into something... more... tranquil. Before I didn't have a career, I had a lifestyle. The blackberry constantly going off, conference calls with various parts of the globe, numerous calls between 2am - 5am on any (every) night of the week. I was unhappy with my life, and more so I was making those around me miserable with my short temper. I felt stuck without any options. After leaving that existence behind, I spent the first couple of months sleeping late into the day after stying up watching television sometimes until 4am. My biggest accomplishment in those first months was watching every episode of The West Wing; all seven seasons. For large portions of the night I would sit and watch 4 episodes, and just lose myself in the fictional lives of the Bartlet administration.
I laughed and I cried through all those episodes, but most of all I allowed myself to mourn the loss of something. Perhaps my innocence. Not sure.
