Yes, it has been several months since I've decided to write out an entry, mostly because I was hanging out under a very dark cloud, which was providing me with no good material. But now I have a new(er) lease (actually I don't really know how leases work, technically, but I like the cliche) on life. I decided it was 8 months too early to begin focusing on my quarter life crisis, but I refuse to hold back on complaining, life is insanely more fun when you get to complain about everything from the extra five pounds you gained over the summer (I should have cut those damn carbs!) to the lack of money in your savings account (no, you will never get to move out of your parents' house if you spend all of your money on clothes, food and drinking) to the fact that you STILL do not have a boyfriend (sorry mom!) But I will try to balance the complaining with my hilarious wit and insightful observations. I also noticed other people put pictures on their blogs so I think I will copy that and pretend like it was a great idea I had. Please don't expect the pictures to be good.
Originally, I was only going to tell tall tales about my dating life, but lately that has been rather boring, so I think I can mix a little bit of everything in here. I recently went through a very dramatic situation which really caused me to think about the things and the people who matter to me, and I discovered (although I always knew) that I have the most amazing friends in the entire world (seriously, I would do a survey but it would only prove me right). I also learned that relationships (of every size, color, and shape) take a lot of work, especially being honest and being able to communicate one's feelings. Anyone who has ever known me (and I mean really known me, not just made out with me before knowing my last name) knows I have major issues expressing my feeling. It makes me terribly uncomfortable, much like what I imagine a yeast infection to feel like, I discovered this is because I am terrified of what the other person will say in reply to me, there is an awful lot involved in opening up. I also realize this is a trait that many girls have, but I am not like many girls (so I've been told, not recently however, sadface) I digress, biggest life lesson learned this summer: Be honest with yourself first and with those around you, don't be naive and think that people close to you can't hurt you (they can, and it hurts a million times worse than passing a kidney stone, or so I imagine), but lastly BE THANKFUL FOR THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE IN YOUR LIFE.
I love you girls <3
