growing up

Sep 18, 2007 01:41

so, i've decided to move on in my life. i've become so dependent and stagnant in where i am that i've stopped growing and wondering. so, totheend_frank and myself are moving to Chicago at the end of this summer. i mean, it is still a little under a year away, but i'm so excited for new things in my life. as much as i love my friends and family and escapes here, it's all i've ever known and i need to know more.

so, i've got a whole plan and everything to make this really happen and not just be another one of those ideas i gets excited about and let fall dead when it gets too tedious. i will need to possess some things already when i move because it's beyond impossible to save when you are paying city rents. so, camera, ipod, and a laptop. those are the things i DEF need. like, i am too addicted to not have them. plus lots of saved up money for rent and deposits and moving fees and everything else. i've been working a whole lot. for instance, this week i work monday and tuesday day, wednesday and thursday day and night, friday day, saturday night and sunday night. i can't complain because i need money. to move and finance all of my music-related excursions this fall/winter.

i know there's also a fall out boy show, a nickel creek show, and a dashboard confessional show i want to scheme a way to pay for. as it is, i'm nuts.

yeah, i've got lots of things planned and just working hard enough to make them happen. i've learned that nothing will happen, your life will never be what you want it to be unless you work hard and make it that way. i used to just hope and pray that opportunities would present themselves, but i've become less naive and realized that life isn't the movies and to get anywhere, i'm going to have to make it happen, because i'm not going to have help from my parents or anyone else. the time has come to be self-reliant, other than my relaince on God, which is weaker than i want it to be. bah, i need to go to bed.

oh yeah, i've been getting lazy with my exercise and diet. somebody yell at me. because that is never going to change unless i change it. funny that it takes so long to realize things that are so simple and obvious.

i love life. even if it isn't perfect or pleasing, i am so glad to be alive and i am so glad that i am able to say that now, because there was a time long ago where i wouldn't have.

money, chicago, going broke by buying tickets to shows, chiodos, growing up, brand new, the rocket summer, fatfest
