028.html - I was given Nursing Freedom Anarchy Sexuality Outdoors
NursingFirst off, nursing is my immediate means to solve several problems in my life.
1) How do I have enough capitalist tokens to solve the problems I want them for?
I choose to pay rent rather then squat (as I have before) as I personally need a secure nest and some control over where it is, connectivity (phone and broadband) and what things I can keep in it. This means I need to pay rent and bills. So I need some way of doing this. Signing on is an acceptable alternative solution to this partic problem.
Computers, travel, toys require tokens too. Again, there are options, but signing on is only at best a medium term solution.
2) How do I ensure I will be useful in the event of social breakdown?
Do I need to elaborate on this one? ;)
3) How can I offer practical solidarity to communities in struggle that I want to support such as in Palestine or Mexico?
ditto.
4) How can I incorporate trips of several months into my life?
Nursing enables me to both work during travel and give 90% security I can quickly get money before/after trips.
5) How can I ensure my day to day life is interesting, fulfilling, challenging and that the work is of the sort that best suits who I am.
Being a nurse seems a good fit for who I am, and how I look at the world. Its very problem solving oriented, plus the problems are to solve a direct human need - this very much suits my personality. I'm quite science oriented, so I enjoy that side of things. I tend to take on a health promoting role in my social circle anyway. I enjoy helping people.
FreedomIt makes no sense to who I am that someone could stop me doing something as long as it harms no one else. Thats got me into lots of trouble with various authorities (schools, bosses, police etc) but I've learnt how to be careful and tactical as I've grown up. :)
Equally I don't want control over someone else.
Freedom is not absolute - its a balance between the freedoms of others as well as interacting with the spectrum of ability to make informed consent, which is not just individual but context specific.
AnarchyI choose to interpret this an relabel as "Anarchism"
In a lecture on hospital chaplains this week spirituality was defined as "that which gives your life meaning, purpose an worth". That, for me, is Anarchism.
Its also the label I choose for my political beliefs. As an Anarchist I spend my life trying to bring about an Anarchist Communist society where freedom, human need and desire dictate what we do, rather than a minority controlling and monopolising society's resources.
This means that I put thought into why the current system (which few people benefit from or like) continues and what I can do to change this. I'm very opinionated and ranty on this topic.
As an Anarchist I reject all authority, and for me everything is up for consideration. eg. There are plenty of Anarchists who have fully thought through monogamy and decide that monogamy does actually best suit them. I thought about monogamy and rejected it for me. For both the former group and for me, it matters not that the church, the state, or other authority advocate monogamy - that is just an additional input to give context. All that matters is to really think through the issue and what is best for those people in question - monogamy or something else.
Sexuality
I'm strongly sapiosexual. Clever minds turn me on most of all.
I am also attracted to feminity and prettyness. Sometimes I crush on folks who are not feminine. Other crush options are *depth*, complexity, someone who interests me, someone who arouses me in some indescribable way. Difference excites me - I've often crushed on those who are "weird", and look different to the white norm I grew up with. One longterm lover had a facial and upper body "disfigurement" that I genuinely found beautiful.
In a random crowd I'm most attracted to "women" but because of my sapiosexuality I tend to have lovers regardless of gender.
I tend to want sex quite a lot. And I have certain "kinks" (though few of the SM variety) but also really really enjoy a good old fashioned fuck.
Being desired and being able to satisfy someone's sexual desires is very arousing for me.
Enough about sex yet? ;) No, because the last category is ...
OutdoorsFirst off, I love outdoors sex.
But I just love everything outdoors really! And living in Scotland is partly me choosing to live somewhere where I can get to big open beautiful spaces on a regular basis.
Being outdoors gives me energy and joy. Feeling the wind is incredibly wonderful for me. Covering distances on my feet. Wild camping. Seeing whats over the next ridge or mountain pass. Feeling space, distance and air around me. Beautiful mountains, waterfalls, flowers, patterns, clouds.
