I'm posting this here because it's more Bitches than Natter and it's indirectly related to ita so not really for her thread.
I have this urge to just-- get rid of a bunch of stuff. And making sweeping changes in my life. I'm not sure if this is part of the grieveing process. Or part of the new year but I just want to -- sign up for martial arts or a drawing class or do something. I've wanted to do that but my schedule and money haven't allowed it. The feeling I've wasted my life has intensified and I want to change that, those feelings have been bubblign around but this has just brought it all forth really strongly.
With you askye. Not sure what I want to change, but I need to change.
Yeah, me too. I was already in the middle of something -- a mid-life crisis? A slightly-earlier-than-midlife crisis? But this has definitely kicked it in the pants.
I'm with all three of you. I've been feeling it a lot lately. Something needs to change. A lot does, really.

looks at massive reorganizing & tossing of clothes (mainly stripey socks) and reconfiguration of various household tech systems that has occurred in the past 2 days
I have no idea what you're talking about. (IOW, I feel you.)
Mortality has a way of clarifying things, I've found.
YOu guys are not alone in the wanting to change something in reaction.
I have a tub of stuff that has been sitting there for me to go to Goodwill for weeks.
I tossed my last skirt on there. I've realized I wear skirts or comfy dresses around the house in the summer but when I go outside it's in pants.
But it's more than that. I got a notification about community classes - art, cooking (although nothing I could actually eat), languages, what not. But the times were bad for me or so I keep telling myself. I think I just need to find one and see if I can still register and do it.
Plus I know with therapy there is going to be some major emotional upheaval. I think part of me wants to get the physical upheaval done.
Right there with alla y'all. Was already there but the urgency has been kicked up a notch.
