Personally, I don't enjoy formality. I respect it and understand that because of the way people adapt and conform to the lives they lead, following the rules of life makes things "easier," but I want to break free of all conformity.
I've always wanted to live in New York City, and live outside the DC area in general. As I've grown in this area, I've learned to love and appreciate this area, but I also find it necessary to move about. It seems an opportunity to move away came up and I found myself having to pass
it up. I would have loved to be in New York City, but I've given in, I've conformed. I have a set job, begun taking classes again. It'd been quite some time. I'm happy to be in school again. For a while, I was convinced I'd be happy rushing to get my degree and moving along in life. In reality, I love learning and experiencing as much as I can. I feel right now.. better than I have in a long time. There may be a lot of things that are "wrong," but I'm still happy. Happy to know what things are and what decisions I'm going to make.

I'm so glad you're blogging again!
I get frustrated, at times, with formality, but I've realized its a necessary evil to let people feel in control. In so many situations, formality comes back to the need for control or power in a situation, don't you agree?
There's still so much time to move about so I wouldn't feel worried about your decisions to stay put (for the time being). In the day to day life, content-ness is what matters and it seems like you have that.

Oh formality and conformity. I think my inability to enjoy being in one place too long will prevent me from falling into those habits. Even being at 1 job nearly 2 1/2 year drove me nuts (as i'm sure you well remember ;] ).
I'm happy to know you're happy with your life and the way it's going.
