i've been having a problem getting my life together recently and i just realized why: i have the will to survive but not the will to thrive. so i just keep going through my days, functioning at the almost bare minimum. the only thing that really makes me happy is dancing(music too, but that's in with the dancing). which i can only do so much of since i have to maintain a job and such. actually i'm not doing so well with the job thing. i go to work just enough to pay my bills, but nothing more. i'm going to have to find a new second job this week. i'm behind on my paperwork and would probably get fired this week if i wasn't already losing my position at the end of the week. the kid i work with is moving. so not only am i stressing about my job, i'm stressing about finding another one at the same time. which is really hard to do when you work from 8:30 a.m. until 7p.m. and most decent job offices are open from 9-5. i feel so isolated from my outside(lower 48) friends up here. i hate resorting to this thing to even be able to tell anybody what's going on in my life. it's really hard for me to really connect with people up here enough to really trust them with how i'm really doing. it was brought to my attention the other day by someone that i don't know well but have known since i've moved here that, " I always look like someone's taken and eaten my lunch." a few things to point out here: 1. i need to start keeping an eye on my lunch 2. wow, do i always look that sad? 3. why is he watching me? 4. why do my friends never ask if there's something wrong? i can't think of any more obvious things right now. i feel like a big ball of neuroticness. i have no outlets for it so it keeps getting worse. i'm becoming less and less motivated to do anything and my attention span is dwindling into nothingness. even now, i keep getting up to reorganize and color-code my closet. that's just not normal. as further illustration of my lack of attention, i'm going to end this post because i've forgotten what i was talking about in the first place. hey Leah, i'm wearing the faeiry necklace you gave my for Christmas a few years ago. |
