My existential crisis is almost over. Allllmost. I can feel my questions coming to an end. Maybe. I still don’t know why I’m not a diving instructor in the Dominican Republic or a sherpa in Peru. Maybe because my ears can’t handle it. Maybe because I like sea level. Why am I in Venice? I don’t know. Why am I in my pajamas? I don’t know. But I’m getting closer to the answer. I’m happy to be doing this:
Regular posts will resume next week. Unless I decide to become a Buddhist nun, which is on my list.

did you just send that existential crisis to the midwest? as you are coming around the bend, i’m going into the tunnel. not really a eupehmism. but sort of. hell. i don’t know.
Nope, stop trying to steal my crisis. It’s definitely on the East Coast. WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVERYTHING? WHY AM I HERE? … is what I would ask if I could pull myself off the couch and stop watching “Grey’s Anatomy” reruns long enough to think about my train wreck of a life.
And on an upbeat note, that is an awesome video. Your moms are correct. Best show ever ever ever. Ever.
The Crisis has also hit tulsa, ok. i can’t think of a reason to bother anymore, and my cat has been institutionalized.
i agree with alonewithcats – great video. next time i visit l.a. hopefully i can check it out.
YAY! We’re in it together, my friends. Hopefully, we will see land soon.
Laureene!
It’s so great to get a new post by you! I missed your words!
Existentialism sucks! It’s a downer for me… I have the perfect cure for it*…
Listen to Sunscreen. On repeat.
Exercise. Until your past the I wana throw up stage and into the truly exhilarated one. And then enjoy a shower.
Do something really thoughtful for someone else.
Watch a Ted.com video tagged inspiring.
Then I try to ask myself at what times do I feel alive and happy- which allows me to gain perspective.
Do those in any order- it usually works to get me out of my head and actually enjoy the life I am creating for myself.
Hope that helps! You are missed here.

Reading the comments I almost feel guilty for not being in the middle of a crisis. Like, am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to be in a crisis? Maybe I’m not deep enough at this point in my life to enjoy a crisis?
What’s wrong with me? Why am I not questioning my existence?
Best show in LA!
