The good in life
It's almost a year now...
I mark my moving out as a start of my new life, more independence, more freedom, more choices, more responsibility. And again I will mention change. I've changed, my demeanor has changed, my outlook on everything has changed. In this year that I've been gone many things have happened. Friendships broken that at one point seemed unbreakable, people that have already faded into what seems a distant past. But also other friendships have formed or become more intimate. These close friends provide the support I need to deal with things day to day and probably mean more to me than I could ever say. I also have a girlfriend who I cherish and care about dearly and she means a great deal to me.
This summer, despite many difficulties, has been great. Sure I've worked for most of it but I've also had a lot of fun too. Some parties, nights out, nights with friends, visiting people far away and many other such things.
School starts in a couple weeks. It's the beginning of my accounting career and I can't wait. Oddly, I've already had some job offers for next summer after I get my diploma. I don't know what I'll do, it's still really far away and I seem to do better when I don't make really long term plans. I'm more flexible that way and things seem to work better for me as well.
On another note, I'm now officially completely unpacked. Yes it has taken an entire year but I finally went out and got some bookshelves and unpacked the last of my boxes that had been, until recently, just sitting on my floor collecting dust. It's a good feeling, my room is finally clean and it's kind of a refreshing change and a good way to start a new year...Organized.
Luna does bring a lot of joy to everyone in my house. I recommend that everyone should get a dog, they're amazing and nothing will make you happier when you get home every day than a wagging tail and a lolling tongue, wriggling their way to greet you as you walk in the door and then face planting over your shoes because she's still a clumsy puppy.
I know sometimes I seem to focus on the negative, but you need to see the lighter side of everything. Anger and self pity do nothing to aid the situation. Feeling sorry for yourself won't do a lick of good to help you. Always remember, to get help you need to first help yourself. And if you believe that at anytime you don't need help then you delusioned of your own capability. Don't refuse an extended hand out of pride or anger, accept it and embrace their aid and the wealth of knowledge that others have to offer. No one is ever completely right about anything.
