Hi. We haven't much connected on SW before, but I've been reading all your threads and thinking about what you're going through, and I want to say that I *think* I know how you feel. You seem like a keenly intelligent, sensitive, and introspective person, someone to whom emotional contentment is paramount. I know how it feels to be unhappy in a non-specified manner, and how that unhappiness manifests as despair, restlessness, and a peculiar sort of nostalgia. I am glad to see that you are being honest with yourself about your relationship and not making excuses, and that you express the fortitude to make some changes. For some people (like myself) the geographical cure-- hell, even the nihilistic cure (i.e. selling your stuff and just up and leaving)-- is really what works. So I hope that your decision-- to quit the tattoo shop, to return to dancing, to break up with your BF, to move across the country, whatever it winds up being-- brings you satisfaction and peace of mind.
PM me if you ever want to talk.
