warpednormal's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- things that have happened in the last few days a couple of night shifts ago i got to spend a couple hours with a nurse i secretly have stalked every story about and find absolutely enthralling. a woman who spent a year in south east asia, climbing everest and hanging out with hippies and disabled burmese children. i read all her blogs. she met her husband there. she changed her life there. i listened to her stories in the quiet hours of our night shift, watched her describe with absolute excitement how this trip made her. how she made best friends instantly and how with every hello there was a goodbye just waiting around the corner. how even though the trip was filled with sadness, there was a sense of joy knowing that she was living life in that cliched full way that we all read in inspiring memes about. a woman who has worked with Jon Kabatt Zin, writer of "wherever you go there you are" and "full catastrophe living" visited our hospital the other day for a meet and greet and a talk on mindfulness. she mentioned a course starting up soon that is based on Zin's workshop and i'm looking forward to taking it. its a pre-requisite for what i would like to do next. the next plan is to move to Boston for a little bit and perhaps work as a nurse there as well as take the meditation teaching course. the dream is to one day teach this to my patients. had three dates with this boy named Mason. He makes me laugh constantly. i met him a year ago and we had one date then but he never texted me again. a year later, he decides to for whatever reason and we've been seeing each other here and there. no expectations, just enjoying the time i get with him. we haven't even been very physical. some kissing, but no sex. and hell, that's pretty damn new for me.
