Have You Changed?

[Trilby]

I've really changed since I first joined the Cellar.

I've gone from being a republican-leaning hawk to a democratic dove.

I've gone from believing in an unrealistic view of my family (esp. my mother) to a very much MORE realistic POV.

I've lowered my expectations of humanity but raised them where the cellar is concerned (loads of v. smrt people here)

I've rejected the concept of god in favor of a concept of spirituality that dwells within each of us and IS the Universe manifest in puny human consciousness and the Uni did this because it thought it would be fun/interesting.

I've gotten a degree in English though via my usage and grammar you'd never know it so I know that Bachelor prepared teachers are as stupid as I am - which is pretty stupid.

I've quit nursing forevah. Never again will you catch me working in that inhumane field.

I've survived cancer and I am actively fighting my alcoholism instead of feeling like it is simply my destiny to be a drunk.

I've gained new understanding of the world and the people in it and it is all due to coming here and sharing with you awesome people in this place.

tony - you're my hero! thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful place.

(and I know that kudos will never replace money in the tip jar - but I just wanted to say thanks)
