The wind in my sails....
Ive had a ton of time to just sit and think today. Originally, I was supposed to go hang out with some friends, and go look at some places in Milton for the near future, hang out, maybe get some food. Well, things carried on without me. I now wished I had not turned down the offer to hang out with someone else back on Monday for today, but hind sight is 20/20. Its not the first time I've had an entire day wasted, or carry on plans without me.
Anyways.....
I have recently moved into a position I have been working towards for the better part of this year. After the end of the month, I will see a sizeable increase to my income. My 401k has gained 30% this year even with the economy, and I finally have a savings account. I even have stock options with the company as of last month. ^_^ Things are finally looking up financially for me, and I hope to take things into a positive direction.
Short term I want to get my savings account over 1000 dollars, and then start another account for travelling purposes. I want to travel, if only around to other parts of the U.S [and if God willing, to fanfest in iceland next year|. I originally had planned to take other people with me in these nomadic endeavors, but it seems there is no one left to go with me. So, I suppose I shall travel solo.
There are a number of placed I would like to see... but time will tell.
I know life is not money, and this is why I can fit all that I own in my car [minus the bed]. I actually would like to start doing something for some of the less fortunate people in the area as well, but I am still waiting to see what doors open up in that area as to what to do to make an impact, or if just to help out a little.
I have also been reevaluating my friendships lately. Taking a look at how much I put into some of my relationships, and seeing how much I get back from them in return. Now, I don't ever ask for or expect anything in return, but I have discovered over the years that the amount of time or investment that is returned is usually an indicator of how strong that friendship is, or in the very least, how important your friendship is to that person. That realization is a little sobering, maybe a little sad as well, but so be it.
The wind has picked up in my sails. I have not pulled anchor yet, but when I do, I can ill afford to turn around, and I probably wont be there when some of them return to find me. I love all of my friends dearly, but I can no longer wait around to find out if the sentiment is mutual.
I don't know where I am going. I am still a broken person for reasons far too many to go into here. Yes, I am lonely most of the time... but so be it. If this is the currency of the world around me, then I have a sizeable credit to work with.
