That was kind of embarrassing. But it was nice to see what I was thinking about 2 years ago.
Lots of changes since May of 2011.....
-My new house is now a not so new house, my drive to keep it pristine and clean has now been overtaken by a ridiculously (and needlessly) stressful job, and a furry little roommate who doesn't clean the house despite the free rent and food
-Aforementioned new roommate. A furry black cat who loves cuddling and chicken, but hates being picked up and being startled. I took her in as a favor to a friend who had more cats than square footage, and a year and a half later we're still inseparable.
-The also aforementioned new job. I was happy to be out of Mentor Engineering, so I could start fresh somewhere else....now in a way I'd give anything to be back there. In May of 2011, I worked in a department of 3 people who I developed great, yet different friendships with. I miss seeing them everyday, but life goes on.
-I am now single, seeing someone, with a variable milage of if there will be a future in it. I still keep contact with my ex(the person I was dating when I created this blog), but in a lowkey way in which we are hardly a factor in each other's lives anymore.
-A good friend of mine who I used to date is now making fun of me in heaven. She's probably telling everyone who will listen about what a pain in the butt I am as we speak. 2 years has past and I still think about texting her to see if she wants to go for coffee.
All 3 of my siblings are not only adults but high school graduates. As of September, they will all be enrolled in post secondary schools and I could not be more prouder of all 3 of them. My Stepmom says that they all look up to me, but in reality I hope they learn from my mistakes as a college dropout who never made it back. I want them to be better than I ever was, and in many ways they already are. And I don't say that with bitterness, or envy, or regret. I say it with pride.
Well, thats aboot it right now. I will try to keep in touch more often now. Till then, have a happy Saturday!
We all must learn from each other, as we all make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteBut she's right, I still do look up to you. You're still my big brother after all :)
But you're right, it is amazing how much changes in the course of 2 years.
