sometimes you just have to be giving enough that youll give up having a friend in your life so that they can heal and move on. but with every time this happens it makes us all a little more cynical and like nothing will ever work out. ive found that that impression is pretty fleeting, because ive been through some tough ones and i still believe in true love with all of me. i hope he can realize this and the sooner the better.
every time im with a client at work, and they ask about me, and i give them the run down of how i was in school, and i changed my mind like 3 times, and now im waiting to figure it out for real when i move...theres one common theme which is that none of them ever know what they want to be either! she could be the 60 year old local meteorologist, a professor of many different things at the university, a british soccer mom with an education, a preschool teacher, a lawyer. im glad i waited. im pretty sure i have it pinned down. i probably will get an education to teach high school french (though the thought of working with very tiny, very underprivileged children while they are young enough to be molded fills me with glee) and pursue a career as an educator with clinique. they travel constantly and they get to teach people. they are confident and independent and really really intelligent. then when i decide it's time to have a baby i can work from home and travel less and not be dependent on my husband's salary at all.
does anyone else find christmas less thrilling as they get older? i still believe in the spirit of gathering and laughing with family, but i mean more in the consumer side of it. i hate watching people bust their asses to buy SOMETHING for every member of their extended family. i think back to how many books and earrings and scarf sets (sarah!) i got when i was younger that went unused. it really disgusts me. i will be honest and say i only like buying gifts for people i really love. gifts they will adore or really need. what did yall ask for this year? i only asked for poster frames.
