Lately, I've sort of been feeling nothing but longing. Longing for what in particular, I'm not exactly sure, but I feel fixed in a state of wistfulness.
It's getting warmer, I'm feeling restless, I'll be moving flats soon, I'll be travelling to berlin & greece soon, I'll be starting my dissertation soon, I'll be reunited with meg soon, I'll be seeing my mom again soon (it's been almost 6 months!), maybe I'll be falling in love soon (one can hope for such magical things), but none of that is happening yet. And I have so many creative projects I want to start and so many hopes for this next year in London, and worries about $ and career paths & sacrificing myself to The Man when I'd really just like to make my own hours and write and carve a life out of non-corporate creativity, but....there's rent to pay. And student loans to re-pay. Ah.
Anyhow, give her a listen, it's a lovely little interview (force yourself to continue beyond the frighteningly bad intro song).

All so true.
I hear you. We are on the same boat, one that spans oceans and whole continents and has on board so many like us, younglings, who yearn for a life of meaning and purpose and daring and a chance to be happy.
I hear you. We'll get there. :-)
This is the other one I was talking about. I found the interviewer to be incredibly annoying but that just further highlights Ms July's fabulousness.
