Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection
I really cannot be introspective right now. I just can't.
I mean, I've been thinking about a lot of things. I've been discussing them with friends and loved ones. I've sometimes winced as I've looked at the world around me and how people are behaving in it. I have family members who are sad or scared or angry for lots of different reasons. And I just can't really vocalize any of it.
There has been a lot happening all around, a lot of it not being so great, and that, added to my workload and the very large projects I need to finish up for my teaching credential in about a week and a half, just makes it very difficult to convey any part of my emotion or thoughts in a reasonably coherent way.
So I'm not going to be really introspective tonight. Big surprise. At least I'm somewhat justified in bowing out tonight, rather than other nights when I've just been too tired or too lazy.
I promise you all that after Thanksgiving, I will probably be feeling a lot calmer and a lot more content and a lot more thankful for everything I have and everyone I know.
And I'll probably still be a bit stressed because 3-5 reflection + classroom management day ÷ both being due on December 1st = holy shit (And that's not even including the work I still have to do for my content instruction course).
To my lovely handful of readers, have a good night and a great weekend.
