On 2002/01/21 16:48, Jennifer posted thus to the K-list: I have never been suicidal but four years ago, I took a sabbatical from life
as I knew it .. I followed what I believed to be a spiritual calling (my
friends and enemies will tell you I ran away from home; my husband was too
shell-shocked to know what was happening; and my college aged kids saw it as
mom putting into action yet another role modeling adventure for them to
watch and learn from :) ..I returned home 8 months later ... am still on
sabbatical but a liter version as I redefine, reshape and activate my path
.... it has not been without its surprises and challenges but one of the
many lessons I learned was that when you make a clear choice with intention,
and you have faith in your belief that you will grow wings as you feel
yourself fall .. the universe will respond in kind ....

Joyful Fairy,
I totally agree. In fact I made that promise to myself last year.
If ever I become suicidal to the point where I have to dump life
completely, I will do it by deleting my environment, not myself.
Flee the country... run away from work, from debts, from stress. Just
buy a one-way ticket to somewhere nice like Europe and start a new
life, a new adventure.
I often dream of such an escape. The world of work is very evil and
often I feel there is no meaning in it all. I've been reading a lot
of the essays on www.primitivism.com
We live in a society where we grow food in order to lock it up and
make you work 40 hours a week to earn money to buy it back. I need
money to survive, yet my soul does not feel fulfilled from the work I
do. My most productive hours of the day, 5 days a week, are given
away. Perhaps I just haven't found what I want to do in life yet.
Incidentally, I have never tried yoga yet... but because of my
anxieties and low level of physical activity in life, I am convinced
kundalini will do me good. I will start yoga this week.
life is depressing me. I have so many hobbies and talents and loves,
yet none of them convert into real paying jobs. Am I doomed to live
the condition of adulthood this way?
I can escape through art... but only temporarily.
Sunday night, I stay up until 5am... troubled by the fear of going to
work again on monday...
I need a vacation.... i need freedom from work. yet i need money to
pay back my student loans and my rent, etc. help!
