slide.

so i slept relatively well despite the chronic discomfort in the back.i've learned to position myself to that it doesn't ache so much.coping mindfully and transcending it. human suffering is transient. it's how we perceive it.i've reached a zen acceptance and am looking forward to the peaceful resolution. i think humanity puts too much into things.

i've always lived on the outside of things.since a kid i always found myself thinking outside the box.teachers found me eccentric and quirky but i never cared.that explains why my entire life i could never be part of any convention.i'm just glad i've a job now which allows my irregularities. it's great that i'm my own boss in many ways.

i realised that perhaps the last r/s was also strange because only when you've shared your life with someone that young can you truly appreciate the students you deal with everyday.it gave me a deeper understanding of the teen mind and what they're thinking or needing.this also helps me prepare for my own kids.so everything panned out for a reason it seems.that has given me an edge as a teacher and parent.i've lived my adolescence, dated one (two counting jem) and here i am an expert on the teen mind. so yes, i've always approached things differently and this is just another fine example. more power to me haha

namaste.
