Something else I just thought about..
I don't feel like I have any elders right now.
As a child, a teenager, and even in Portland, I felt like I had elders. Real people, but.. could answer questions, or at least give an opinion without them judging your question.
I feel like all the people around me I'm very in sync with. I love it; I haven't felt so much self-aware synergy in a long time, and when I had it before it came in spurts. Now, it's all around me, and when something annoys me about them, I love them for it.
But... I dunno. Maybe I have a romanticised notion of having an old crone (male or female) who's been through some shit and can tell you how it is.. but.. I've never really had that kind of situation with my parents. Me and my siblings tend to educate our parents more than the reverse; but I feel so often like it would be nice to have someone who can just make statements like "Y'know, it's like this..." and you trust every word they say, even if it's wrong.
Leave it to me to find something wrong with every situation, no matter how good it is... and trust me, it's *good* right now. I'm such an idiot.
