THAT'S WHERE I REALLY AM NOW: Terribly in-between everything. A rock and a hard place. Life and death. Waking and sleeping. Being a junkie; being a human being. Writing poetry and writing crap. Everything's like this in life right now.
The only way I can describe my predicament is that different things in life that I may want to do feel as if they're in as distinctively different dimensions as dreams are from wakefulness. Both feel real as you experience them, which makes the choice of one or the other direction all the more difficult. The only way of telling which is more real is by remembering: in dreams, everything seems real. In our waking lives dreams are unreal yet wakefulness is.
But I get so intoxicated by the moment, I lose sight of this.
Ancient Chinese proverb says: He who chases two rabbits catches nothing.
Am I making sense to anyone here?

That Chinese proverb is very apt. You do write well. I think i can see where you're coming from.
Be like me and develop a multiple-personality disorder.

yes.
in between sucks. but it's a place of hope, too.
soon you'll be all the way one way or the other... hopefully on the positive end of all of the above.
and if you're not... i'm hoping for you :)
Thanks for commenting on one of my blog articles.Good to know your views are similar.You are a good writer.This is a predicament that I too found myself in sometime back and I guess, most people find themselves in at some point in time in their lives.Hopefully, you will be able to make up your mind and pragmatically choose one direction in which to proceed...good luck to you!!!...
You're a good writer. Have you been checked for ADHD? Your lost post sounds like typical symptoms of that.
We all need an anchor. A touchstone, if you like. This is someone or something that you can always rely on to ground you no matter what flights of fancy we might take.
Yes except I dont understand the proverb!
Come on Ivy!
If you try and accomplish two goals you're likely to fail at both so do one at a time. You can catch one rabbit if you chase it. But if you let your attention wander you will not catch two rabbits at once. You just won't!
Sorry thanks everyone else for the words of encouragement/advice/sympathy.
In between is somewhere I've been TOO much for TOO LONG a time so I'm TOO USED to being there ...
that's all I can say really
