As you know I went through the whole towering thing this past year or two. Another froggy pal is going through it now. It SUCKS to be in, even while you know it will be useful in the end, and lead to a better life. Cold comfort. The chorus to his Hawksley Workman song about sums it up:
I guess this is what I'm supposed to learn
But learning is so devastating
And since the song about the end of a relationship, we can count this as Love Song of the Day:
We cried till we were dried out
We tried till we were tried out
And that was all we had

Big love, from me to you.
Yeah, all that "character building" stuff hurts and I'd much rather not build my character any more. Totally get it.
Next time around, I'd like to be born on a planet where character building happens without trauma to mind, body, or spirit!
Always I'm reading your blog at work and I can't see the videos. Have to go back and look.
Thanks for giving me the credit for your quote but I actually don't know the origin. For me, I originally read it on a bumper sticker that was stuck to a wall above someones desk. They didn't know who said it first, either.
Towering is draining. Hope you're new tower starts feeling comfy soon.
Geez - what a day. YOUR new tower - not you're.
@Julie - Thank-you! This week I wanted to treat myself to something new, so I got Colette's map oracle cards. The artwork is gorgeous.
@Skye - Yes, you've built a few skyscrapers worth of character. Can we get a character break? Can we just be shallow for awhile??
@widders - Let's keep the drama between the pages of our books.
@JJJ - Well I'm glad you can get some internet reading done at work. Doesn't cut into your writing time! :-) --> I slightly changed the quote attribution, but thanks for sharing it all the same.
How have I missed so many posts? What have I been doing? Need to find a way of keeping track better!
This is a good tower song. I'm sure we'll all look back at our towering and be grateful that it happened...but for now i'll just stick with 'Sucks!'
*hugs*
