It Has Been Quite A Long Time
I haven't posted anything on here in years. I am not really sure what exactly is bringing me back here, but I kind of miss it. This was just my blog about my obsession with anime, but I enjoyed being here and reading what others had to say. I see so much has changed. Most, if not all of my friend's on here have disappeared and I have gotten quite a few unmonitored spam comments. I am not even really sure what happened or why I disappeared, but I am coming back and I am changing a few things. This is going to focus on me and be about whatever I want it to be about. If anyone is still out there, I'm sorry.
With that being said, I myself have changed a lot. I am no longer the same person I was in high school when I started this. I now live 1700 miles away from where I used to live and it has been quite a change. I have been here in the desert for nearly 2 years now and I have accomplished quite a bit. I have finally started college and started a whole new life. While things haven't been perfect, life here in the desert is way better than what I came from. Sometimes, things are tough, but it's okay. I'm okay, and that's all I can really hope for.
So what's new?
Pretty much everything. I no longer work in the hospitality industry and that was a huge change for me. I now work with kids and I enjoy it a lot. It won't last forever, but it's good for now. Will I ever return to the hotel and hospitality industry? I don't know. I moved down here to further my career in it, but that kind of bit me in the ass. So I started school and somehow I ended up here, changing the lives of younglings everyday. I do not miss it by any means. If I learned anything from working in hotels down here, it's that no one really cares about whats important. It's all about the money. When I started in hospitality, the most important thing to me was making sure the customer was satisfied in the end. And yes, I did learn that guests and customers had unrealistic expectations 90% of the time, but I don't agree with cheating anyone out of their money, no matter what the sales goal is.
I am sad to say, that I haven't watched anime, read any manga or been to a convention in 4 or 5 years. This is a long story, but to put it simply I was easily influenced. When I hit 17, I fell in love with a hater and after I moved in with him everything changed. I got a second job and just ran out of time to focus on the things I loved because I was so focused on him. He's no longer a part of my life and I have time now to rediscover it all, but rediscovering myself is the first step. And no, I am not doing to this to get pity or support. I just want to write, that's all. It's nothing special, but it is something I miss a lot. Throughout the years, I have picked up new hobbies that I am excited to write about in the future. :)
And yes, I do still have terrible spelling and grammar. Yes, I should be ashamed. But eh, shit happens. No one is perfect. :P
From the desert with love <3
