"At your best you are loved. You're a positive, motivating force within my life. If you ever feel the need to wonder why, let me know." - Aaliyah. That's for anyone that reads that...if you're my friend that is, not some random hooha peepin' me out.
All is well. Working alot. Just sent in my first manuscript for my first writing contest!! So excited. I really think it has a strong chance of winning, but I'm sure everyone says that about their writings. The only thing is that I forgot to include the contact sheet when I mailed it off. I e-mailed them and asked if I could send it express mail so hopefully they'll say yes. Please pray and send good energy that I win. Even if I don't win I'm still proud of myself for entering in the first place.
Also, I think the universe is testing my capabilities at being a guidance counselor. Just yesterday I consoled Erin, a co-worker, when she was pissed off about being singled out for voicing her opinion. I think I made her feel better. Then today I talked to Laura when she was having problems with her mother. I think I made her feel better too...for a while at least.
I realize how much time, energy and compassion it takes to take someone else's pain/problems as your own and help them through it. I know I can't and shouldn't do it for everyone, and I won't. But if it's someone that I can help, then I feel that I should to it. That's what I was put here for, so why argue against it?
Moving back in either this week or next week. Heart palpatation attack. I really like that phrase, heart palpatations.
That's all!
Peace. Out.
