I miss my life.
The one I had working as a neuro nurse in Houston at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center.
I miss the money I made. I miss my car. I miss my two dogs. I miss my fashion bags, my shoes, my clothes, my plates, mugs, cups, jewelery, BOOKS, I miss my BOOKS, my plants, my Ikea King Size Bed, my white comforters, my ability to eat any where I want to.
I miss wandering through an Apple store, I miss bubble tea, I miss WHOLE FOODS, I miss my DVD collection (especially, SATC), I miss South Padre, Galveston Beach, I miss television (we don’t have a tv), I miss having a closet (I am still living out of two suitcases), I miss having my bikini area waxed every month and a half, I miss my hairstylist/hair cutter, I miss my nail polish, I miss the American Brands that I’ve used all my life (Neutrogena Sesame Body Oil), I miss Banana Republic, Victoria Secret, Target, Yes, even Wal-Mart! I miss great Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese food, I miss Dim Sum, I miss those huge Pacific Malls where you get all these weird Asian delicacies – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
and yet … despite all that, I have never been MORE EMPOWERED than I am now.
When you are stripped (my choice) of things that you are comfortable with – then the only thing you can count on that you know is raw and real, is your self.
