Student 7

I’m extremely close to becoming a misanthrope if not already. I hate everyone. Certain quirks in people, non-tolerance for differences, old money, set groups, class structure.

What feelings arise? 

I feel nothing but hatred toward most people. If not that, nothing but dislike.

Not saying goodbye one last time.

Not much. Not joy or sadness, just a vague curiosity for what’s next to come.

Anger, so much anger, and a lot of curiosity along with that.

How is it affecting you? 

It’s caused me to transfer schools to start anew. There were multiple issues, including denial of a certain class I can take.

What is your part? 

Not bailing ship earlier. Bailing ship means it’s over. Gone. Adios. Start anew. Leave abroad.

What are you learning?

How to gain a clean slate. Stress. Quirks. Everything. I’ll make a new man out of myself.

Stress = Anger

What can you shift in your perspective?

Should have explained situation earlier and bailed ship. Should have foreseen something that was occurring right in front of my eyes.

How will you work with your difficulty?

I choose to bail ship starting anew. Delete. Buck everything. Leave as little contact to former school as possible.

What is this difficulty teaching you?

Don’t talk about the past. Data expunged.

THE UNFOLDING

WONDER ANEW began with a powerful message: if you want to contribute to healing and help the world, start with yourself.
