But I still think there's something more. In the past, I feel like I took so much more on and had a happier time doing it, and I don't think the remembrance of happiness is nostalgia.
Soon after that time, though, I started taking classes, seeing a career counseler then this job search and planning to move to Chicago. I always have this hope that once the job search and move get resolved that I can get back to the thesis, family, cats and personal growth stuff.
Until then, though, am I fated for unhappiness?
