As of last Sunday, I’ve started releasing exclusive content for what I’m calling The Unfamiliar Movement Project for subscribers on my Substack channel, The Well-Lived Life.
As an explanation for why I moved halfway across the world to study healing movements, I’d like to share a passage from my personal journal, recorded just a smidge over two months ago when I was still working as a teacher:
“May 18th, 2021:
School day happened, then went to run a 5k around Rifle. Felt bloated and sad. Headed out to eat with (colleague’s names omitted) where I created some stress-related indigestion. Then I headed back to the school with them, where we supervised a bonfire that continued the sadness for me. Weather was beautiful, the rain fell slowly and I just wanted to cry surrounded by my students. There were so many emotions, so many questions and ideas and confused feelings. This year has been a blur, and so much has been taken from me by this pandemic. I miss who I was. I miss the man who could smell wet grass after rain and just be content. I miss the feeling of living in a boundless world, the anticipation of a life yet to be, with all the potential for epic-ness that that entailed. I miss the world as I saw it.”
Oh, the ANGST!
