Having two jobs that seem to have reputation (not talking about the pay, because as I say "there is two kinds of jobs, one where one does contribute something to the society and one where one does paid"...).

Having circle of friend who accept me.

Being settled. In one of the most beautiful cities on the planet (I just wish the climate was nicer, but oh well). On one hand it makes me guilty for every minute I spend watching youtube videos or trying on clothes or swatching make up in a mall instead of being in the streets, soaking up the history.

Having a purpose (eventhough I get hatemail for it).

Being somewhat stable in moods, self-image, all of that.

And yet, I still feel so restless. Maybe restlessness keeps me going forward. Still, I wish I could enjoy things more, instead of seeking chimeras.

Keep going after adventures girl! A restless soul sounds like it is working for you!

Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand

I cannot travel now. Working gets in a way of doing what one would love to do. I love my job, but it's very binding.

Anyways, I will need a lot of strengh coming days. Apparently, I am not paranoid enough. Or I am paranoid... but they are still after me. Not sure if it's scary or hilarious.

I don't think feeling restless is necessarily a bad thing. At least you do something about it.

I don't think you'll ever not be restless either? I think that not being completely satisfied and striving for new experiences shows a lot of strength and I hope it doesn't go away for you. I always admired that in your posts. It helped me look at mental illness as a more organic and less ridged. I'm less afraid of the unknown and part of that was from the shared experiences of 2012. I hope you keep jiving!

I also tots started watching weird Eurovision videos and thought of you. XD

Belated thank yous, Confused.

Sometimes it's just hard to find balance between the inner peace I want to achieve and the drive that I naturally have. And then I look at other people and they seem to be much more straight foward in their life paths, instead if zigzaging from this to that. Like yesterday when I talked about my degrees and certificates to some people... not sure if they thought I am driven and intelligent or just confused and strange.

I related to your post greatly, love. I live in a hoppin' city, with lots of things to do and lots of shopping (I. love. shopping.) and I am restless a lot.

I work and go to school, and often go home and stare at the walls. I need more social acitivities, but don't know where to start.
