Enough?

I didn't get very far in my Melbourne tale, did I? Truth to tell I haven't felt much like communicating at all. I've been blog reading and leaving a few comments, and participating a little in my forums at Ravelry, but apart from those, zippo. I realised this afternoon that I've been trying to fill up a void inside me with everyone else's words and pictures, with THEIR lives. However, there doesn't seem to be enough out there to fill me up and stop this incessant craving for NEW. (This post might not make sense to anyone else, sorry if that's the case). I think it's part of my recipe and pattern collecting 'thing': if I collect enough then one day I'll find the perfect recipe/pattern and I'll never ever need another. Sigh. Am I crazy? Could this also be related to yarn/fabric stashing/ overeating? One day there will be ENOUGH. What happens then, I wonder, what happens when one reaches that point of being satisfied?

I wasn't depressed before. I am now. Enough already.

Well, if craziness runs in the family, I must be related ;-)

Oh dear, I do sympathise with you on all of this!
I've come to the conclusion that there will never be Enough - yarn, needles, fabric, books, cakes, tea... etc...
But, have decided that 2009 will be my year for finishing All projects started. Then, to go on to my stash, of Everything, before starting anything new.
Now, as with any strict diet, I will fall 'off the wagon' so to speak. But, I have enough lovely stash to deal with that.
Yup, I'm crazy, too!
Hope you cheer up soon, s'nearly Christmas. lotsaluv, xxx

I could have written that paragraph myself. Don't have to, you did it so well. I'm a lot older than you, so have been dealing with same things probably twice as long... but i do find that keeping myself up and alert helps keep me cheerful, if not happy. And crochet/knit and other arty pursuits keep me content. Except when it gets so cold that my fingers stiffen up and I have to pet my dogs to warm up. Had 4 for about 2 years, now took in a lost stray and our furry children now number 5! They cheer me, too!
