So I am a bit bothered that tomorrow is my last day at my job. time to start figuring things out for real.<br \/>\nBut all I could think of tonight, and this is a weird one, was how when I was a kid and my parents sent me to counselling, ostensibly because of my troubles with their divorce (so nice of them to think it was all about them!), how I was talking to the therapist about Timothy Leary, and she thought I was talking about Dennis Leary. Now, Dennis Leary is very entertaining and all but I was talking about Timothy Leary, who was a\u00a0psychologist. He also promoted the use of LSD, but that&#8217;s not what I was interested in. I never really gave a damn about drugs and didn&#8217;t think there was much value in them. But, did she not know who he was, or did she not think a kid would know about his ideas?<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a common theme in my life, I&#8217;m talking about A and people think I mean B. For a long time it made me feel like there was something wrong with me. To be honest, I still kinda do. It&#8217;s strange and difficult to explain. I feel stupid, all the time, yet I know I&#8217;m not. I am full of doubt and insecurity often, and yet I know I shouldn&#8217;t be. It makes things difficult, but hey, we all have our own hurdles in life right? So just need to keep going and do your best with what each new day brings. So have fun, keep running, because is Gil can run, so can you! But stay hydrated!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-333\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-333\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-333\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-333\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=333&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, tonight I was tired, it was hot, I got a bit dehydrated, and I just did not have any gas in the tank.
