I definitely mark time as before-therapy and after-therapy and even specify which therapist. Of course, the best one is before-Roger and with-Roger, because I'm dying first.Angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762384624354104595.post-488741900171145682012-08-02T17:02:46.276-04:002012-08-02T17:02:46.276-04:00Moving and living places is true, but they all loo...Moving and living places is true, but they all look alike. Before college and after college. Here, I have been 17 years so it's more like before the new shop, before the economy tanked, when I ran with a certain art crowd, got out of it and wondered if I would care. I am doing better art without them. Near death experiences always make things REALLY CLEAR. But soon, you forget the clarity they caused. I do think time is going faster now. Days fly, weekends are quickly gone, like the pendulym has sped up. I am busy and enjoying life but also aware how fast time is passing. I do think finding your definition of death will help character development. It's not morbid to me. I could do a whole essay on this. Maybe I will and email it to you......I have thought alot about this era of life. It's when you can no longer double your age and expect to be on earth in a body.Kay Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451408795541788771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762384624354104595.post-28598529841019794802012-08-02T16:02:33.532-04:002012-08-02T16:02:33.532-04:00Mine are all marked by moves.

Current state period is further divided by parts of town: When I lived in NR (prior to bf & with bf-now husband) and When I lived in G. I know my g'ma died while I lived in NR, with bf. I know my g'pa died while I lived in college-state, but was in origin-state on summer break.<br /><br />Oddly, I divide up time in origin-state by what school I was at (the IH time, the Glenbrook year, the hellish period that was Forest Park and Central...) and I divide up college by who I was dating. A little strange, and I'm not sure I want to know what that says about me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
