Where have I gone? No, I havent forgotten you, my dearest old friend. Life has just gotten in the way.
I spend 9 hours a day in front of a computer, typing away, researching, and reading, and most of my writing has now switched to paper. Frankly, because I just cannot stare at the screen anymore. But what am I writing for, to complain?
nope.
And thats a new goal for me- to stop complaining it usually is never aloud, but even the companying in my mind is starting to take a toll. I need to remember that what is important in life is not what happens to you, but how you react to the things that happen.
Our relationship is an unbalanced one. Its all take, take, take. I only come to you when my outlook is foggy, and I am looking for direction. But that is not very fair, not at all. So I'll try, I cannot promise, but I will try. I will try to stay in touch more, to give the fun stories that are happening in my life.
Almost a year ago, to the day, I set out with an idea, the 365 days to 25. To document the year, see what happened. But this idea soon deflated. Got lost in the black hole, called life. Would it have been cool, hell yes. But, oh well. Can't change my laziness
My year of 24, while still not over, has been a crazy one. Finally settling in NYC, 3 jobs, 1 apartment, multiple trips, and a few family road bumps, but overall, 24 hasn't been that bad. An adventure, and a challenge. Some challenges I never wish on my worst enemy, but things that will set the tone for the rest of my life. Things that in time, I will look back on, and think... it happened, that sucked. We all have those, though, dont we?
But bring it on 25, in less than a week, I am coming for you.
peace, love, and moving on up,
b
