Why

Posted in Her, Life at 9:14 pm by admin

Why are relationships so challenging? I ask this as I observe several around me in turmoil.

For me, it seems obvious… they simply won’t work if BOTH people aren’t invested and willing to do the work. But so often, it seems there’s an unequal amount of investment from the parties involved and this leads to confusion, hurt feelings, loneliness, and disillusionment, among many other emotions.

Are we destined to be in pain, if paired-up? Or choose a life of singlehood in an attempt to avoid the pain, only to find pain in that very state.

Who knows?

it was Camp Hollywood

I had a fantastic time, and I was fantastically exhausted by the end of Sunday night (well…Monday morning, really). I’d planned on going to work Monday, but the pulled muscle in my chest made staying home seem more like the right thing to do. It was. I slept a ton that day, and when I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t much good for much of anything else. BV said he’d never seen me so tired in all the years he’s known me, even after 2 consective trackdays. That’s because even though 2 trackdays are exhausting, there’s usually one night of decent sleep between them. This is not the case for CH though, it’s dancing all day and all night, plus there are competitions to watch between.

Overall though, I think I will have gotten more out of this year’s event versus last year’s. I had no idea what to expect last year and was quite overwhelmed with information. This time, I wanted to take classes that would provide me with more viable and usable techniques, moves, etc. I believe I did that. Time will tell.

On a side note, the camp/event in Munich in February sounds interesting…wonder if it’d be possible (read: affordable and workable into my schedule) to go. Hmmm
