Recently, I looked at the Facebook page of a former high school unrequited crush. He loves country music, (which I dislike), under favorite books he says that he "doesn't read" and other aspects of his life make me realize - why did I like him again?
It makes you wonder, perhaps things work out the way they should.
So what else is happening...thank you to everyone for your sympathies and cards for me and my family. It will definitely be a gradual process but everyone seems to be doing OK. Life is uninteresting as always but good. Work is good but they keep cutting hours. I fear I may have to search for something new as right now I can barely pay the bills. I am in DESPERATE need of a vacation. Not just time off but a real vacation. Where I travel to an unfamiliar destination. My sister and I were going to go to vegas in May but now she's going on a school trip to Africa and cannot afford both. Which is fair and I'm thrilled for her. I'm about ready to book a flight to anywhere and just go it alone.
I did apply to a graduate school program in London and I got in. I have three more days to officially accept the offer. I've been putting it off because while I do not feel this is the right thing for me to do right now I cannot bring myself to say no. But after adding up the costs, (way too much!), and considering the fact that this gamble will not ensure a better career I do not feel this is right. A friend said she can see how much I want this. She's right. I do. This is my dream. BUT if I have to give up too much for this and it possibly negatively affects me is it right?
Hmmm
Hey Shan,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting in! Tough decision though. My advice: follow your gut. It usually works for me.
Hope you get a vacation soon! You definitely deserve one!
Love,
Lishka :)
Thanks for this advice. It only took me a second to realize - while my heart may say yes, my gut says no. So finally I was able to muster up the courage to send that email. My life may not be awesome but it is stable and I like that. So - knock on wood that - it stays that way. I guess any life decision is a gamble ;)
ReplyDeleteShan, I'm proud of you for following your gut. Sometimes it's really hard to do the right thing. I pray for stability often...but the randomness in life can be beautiful too. Sending you good thoughts and a fun vacation destination.
