Life unabridged
6 years of hard work....gone
2 1/2 years of struggle...put on hold
and how am I dealing with it? well not well I can tell you that. But there is an old chinese proverb - "If you get up 1 more time then you are knocked down...you will succeed" and I cant think of any better time then to start living (at least temporarily) by this saying.
Now granted we didnt have the best relationship...on again off again to start then blossomed into something very special. I fought many MANY battles for her and was constantly there for her asking nothing in return. I put my life and future on hold for her and to have this thrown at me with zero warning just....hurts.
And then work...after a tough holiday season in which the store was struggling because of poor management choices...after finally given the tools and time that I needed to turn the store around at my position...1 month later its taken away from me. At least I still have a job...albit now a part time one. But there are some interesting leads on that front.
Really, if it wasnt for Chuck (who I know would be there if I approached him and words of wisdom of his from conversations past ring true in my ears) and my buddy Zach...I dont know where I would be right now.
*sigh* At least March is almost here....it will be a very cleansing month with the multitude of games that I can throw my time into and enjoy...plus starting to study for my GRE and get my Graduate admission stuff together....I just wish it didnt have to come to this!
