I have discovered that driving can be therapeutic. Tonight, feeling a bit stressed about decisions that I feel I need to make, I went for a short drive. It is calming..however I am not recommending driving if you are incredibly upset or anything.:-) The hardest part is fighting the urge to not jump on the interstate and just drive and drive. I could always go visit friends in Philly or Minnesota.:-) I know..I know..that even if I could jump on a airplane and escape for awhile, my life would still be the same and awaiting me when I returned. People on tv who just up and go away are very deceptive...that's not possible in real life. The short drive ended with me getting myself a coke. I am so addicted to caffeine and coke that it is ridiculous. I crave coke cola (feel the need to clarify here just in case..haha) like other people crave water or cigarettes. I felt that I was at the turning point for two areas of my life...I have made the decision about one, and I have one more to go. Sometimes you just have to give up on things and release that stress...it is funny how hard we fight to hang onto things sometimes...even when circumstances/and or people are pushing us away.
