weird way to have your life priorities pointed out

In the past month, I've gotten good leads on two jobs. In Austin. And Charlotte. They're really cool jobs.

And I? Cannot take them.

At some point my life came to be in Richmond, and that's just how it is. I'm perplexed to feel this way, since I spent so much time hating this city. I can move somewhere because I feel like Moving Away is something one is supposed to do at some point, but that will not bring me happiness. it won't necessarily bring me unhappiness. This is just. It just is.

For now, anyway.

You cannot move away just as I am moving there. No. It's not allowed :)

Hey, sorry this is OT. If you'd prefer, I can email you at the livejournal.com address on your profile. I have a question about whether you think it's OK/ethical/cool to post something to the body_positive community.

What is it that you want to post?

A link to the article that I wrote about "Tips for Big people to feel comfortable at the gym." I solicited feedback at body_positive, so I thought some people might want to see the final result.

My ethical dilemma is that I get paid for page views (I published on "Associated Content" and you get bonus payments for every 1,00 page views) and I don't want to come off as a spammer or use the community to make me money. On the other hand, it's quite relevant to the community. I will abide by your opinion.

Just tell people that they're paying you by clicking, but you think it might be interesting anyhow. Maybe post a relevant piece of it, so we know what we're reading before we go there?
