Tangled hair and painted ideas
Today I went to the beach. I went for a walk with some music that puts me into the world outside of the chaos called normalcy. I went on a job interview earlier this week and I thought of the difference between who I am and who I am pretending to be. I don't think of myself as a sell out. I genuinely care about and enjoy the philosophfy that I put into my work. What I don't like is the politicking. I don't enjoy wearing a suit or blow drying my hair. I like to have messy, sandy, windy, dancing hair. I like to wear tank tops and flowy skirts. I like to have paint in my finger nails and not on my finger nails. I like to wear glitter not coordinate make up that makes me look like I am awake when I am not because I am not a morning person. I just want purple dreads. I will be just as professional and brilliant and I am sure I will be more helpful in jeans. Maybe I could teach English on the beach...I actually have done that. I think you learn better when you your soul is learning with you and you aren't trying to pretend that your mind is some formality that someone else created for you.

That would be awesome!...teaching on the beach in your jeans & dreds. I can picture you getting all animated about a favorite piece of literature...barefoot in the sand..dancing..with a captive audience and a beautiful sunset. :)
See I knew you would understand!!
