Not offending or upsetting people
One of these days I just need to stop it. Stop trying to please everyone and do what I want. Clearly I'm doing a shitty job of it anyways. I have a tendency to not tell people stuff that I think will upset them... and it's gotten me in trouble before... so I really need to stop.
I didn't want to tell my parents about the road trip that Brian has been planning because I figured they would get all up in my face about finding a job. Kinda the same reason I didn't tell anyone in general. I know I've been out of the country for 5 months, and I'm sorry I'm leaving pretty much right away to do this road trip.
Why? Because Brian is getting time off work and it's still summer and the timing is right. We're going to a bunch of places I've always wanted to go including Crater Lake, Arches, and Yellowstone. I'm super excited about it. There aren't going to be a whole lot of opportunities to take 2 weeks to travel around the US to all these places I've wanted to see, so I'm taking it. Yes, the timing is kinda sucky, but I'll be back on September 22nd and super available as my only job will be finding a job.
I want to see people and I am aware that a few people are thinking that I'm going to only hang out with Brian. This is not the case. I love my friends. I love spending time with my friends. Brian wants to see his friends too. I'm sure we'll actually see less of each other once we're back then when we were here in Malaysia.
This road trip has been in the works since late June and it's only recently really coming together. There are no guarantees that it will actually happen, but until I know how things play out those first 2 days we're back, I can't make any plans. We may be so jet lagged that we decide to leave a few days later, or cut the trip short, or who knows. I don't. Not yet.
