I'm so sorry I've neglected this blog for so long. I promise that it.... well, I can't blame it on anyone but myself. I've been lazy. There's been so much that I could have written about or mad comments on, but I've just neglected it.
Let's just start with the fact that I've got a lot to say and I just don't know how to say a lot of it. I've done a lot lately, I've seen a lot of things that made me... well for a lack of a better word, pissed.
I've had to close my store and then launch myself into a new one and boy howdy is this going to be a new experience. I've got to take some time to get used to it, but I'm sure I'll catch on at some point.
I've also learned a lot recently about the value of friendship. There are only a few people you can count on in your life, and first of all, that's family. Then there are the select few people that you can trust beyond that. I feel like I'm the kind of person that opens up really easily to people because I don't like feeling alone and the best way for me to do that is to make friends wherever I'm at. It's got me into a bit of trouble here and there with the people I chose to involve myself with, but what's life without a few mistakes? Friends come and go, and there are those people that you think are going to be around for a long time but something happens and you lose them along the way.
Friends are important, and if you choose to have a lot of them like I did, you've got to be prepared to steel yourself against loss. You can't take it personally, unless of course you know that the loss of your friendship was directly related to your own personal actions. Then, it's pretty much your fault no matter which way you look at it. I've had a few friendships crumble like that, but I'm better for it.
There are also people that you thought you would never end up being friends with, and you click with them better than you click with the people you gravitated to in the first place. Odd, I know, but it happens. I can honestly say that I've been blessed to meet new friends ever since I moved into my new apartment. These guys are awesome, and I know that they were sent into my life for a reason.
Aaaannd now we get into the less mushy friendship stuff and into something else that's been on my mind lately. The toll that stress takes on your personal life. I've been working a lot lately, and it really took a toll on my personal happiness and my grades. Boy were those a nightmare. A lot of it had to do with drama in my personal life as well, but with my store closing this week and my starting a new job, I'm wishing I had just taken a weekend off and had some time to just sit and do nothing. I don't work full time, so I suppose I don't have as much to complain about, but I'm still pooped. My body aches, I'm always tired, and my allergies are just making it worse. I advise all of those that can take some time off every now and then to do so. It is important! I'm wishing that I could do that. As a manager, it makes that a little harder for me, but hey, I'm going to try!
I've got lots to say, but I just got asked to come into work earlier, so I've got to go!
