saying thank you
I really do think it's terrible that pop singer Rihanna gets beat up by her boyfriend and fellow pop singer Chris Brown. What irritates me to no end about this situation is that it is so much worse because she's famous, and he's famous, and they can make a big deal out of it to sell magazines. The world, save for a select few, never really seems to care about domestic abuse victims in general, so why do they care now? Just because this poor girl is famous and in the spotlight. The only difference between her and countless other victims is the fame, and it's so unfair that that makes all the difference. The world needs to turn its attention to things that really matter all of the time, instead of having these things only matter when someone relatively well known falls into it. Sure it sucks that Rihanna gets hit by her boyfriend, but so do countless other women that have never really had a voice, and still won't have a voice after all this has gone down.
Ok. End of celebrity related rant.
Things with Ally seem to be ok now according to her. I really hope so. She's written another blog, and calmed down after the drunken events of last night, and has rethought a lot of things I bet. I think she's comfortable with everything being out in the open now. Now it's time to take step two. She'll be ok. I know she will be.
So I have this friend who I met on OpenDiary who is dying to be mentioned just so she can have a fake name. We'll call her Bella. Anyway, she's lovely, and she has issues just like me and Ally. She also needs to realise that it's ok to talk about things. And that those who really do care will still be there, and they will always be there, through thick and thin. And I'm one of those friends, even though we've never met each other.
I sent Eden a friend request on Facebook with a nice little personal message, after much deliberation. I searched her back when I was seeing her, but figured she wouldn't accept adds from clients. Now I'm not her client, but I'm still not sure if she'll accept my add. It's ok if she doesn't. I just wanted to let her know that I'm grateful for her efforts in our sessions. She reminds me of me, in some weird way because she's older than I am and all that. She reminds me of me because she puts all the effort in, everything she's got, and she was up close and personal with me, sharing things about her life, to get me to share things about mine. She was emotionally invested, and I could tell that for that time, she cared. She's also who I want to be, someone who is candid and happy and in that place where she can be completely comfortable. Plus I want to sit in her chair. I just really wanted to say thank you.
Speaking of thank you notes, I got this today from a girl on Bebo that I've been talking to for quite a while;
Hello,
I am just sending a mail to say thanks so much for everything!
I am in a really weird mood, and I was just looking back upon the last few months , and you are one of the people that have really helped me and I want to thank you !
I dont think you will ever know how fully grateful I am ,.
It must be so hard to try and help me . I can be impossible sometimes, and I think you deserve a medal !
Thanks so much trina,
You really are amazing
Needless to say, that made me feel quite good. It's an amazing feeling to know that you've helped someone else. Though I don't put my mental wellbeing and heart on the line for the gratification it brings. I do it because people need it, I've needed it, and I've recieved it, and it's great to know that people really do care. I think this little girlie is doing quite well lately, and for that, I am really really happy. She deserves it. I think I'm going to make a mental note to thank everyone for everything from now on. I usually do anyway, but now I definately will. A thank you is never over rated.
Work was good again today, which is odd, but I'm not questioning it. It went super quick too, and was crazy busy, and I spent way more time than I'd normally be happy with on a check out, but today it didn't bother me. Nothing bothered me. Well except having to go to work so early in the first place because that meant that I had to stop talking to Ally on MSN to get ready. I did miss out on my shower, but that doesn't matter. Tomorrow I get to have a really really long shower and pamper myself and shave my legs and wash my hair and I'll feel all lovely. I think I might take a leaf out of Ally's book (blog?) and paint my nails and stuff like that. I need to cut my nails, they're super super long, and one broke today, after like three weeks of them being really long.
I'm really, really itchy, and it's annoying me. I get like this sometimes. I think it's the heat, because it was cold all last week. I also get really itchy after I have hot showers. Something about the water.
I got my weekend shifts swapped for next weekend. They had one of the others girls opening, and she doesn't even know how to close properly. I thought I'd end up with the nine hour Saturday shift, but I kept my five hour and am doing 6-11, which is going to make my weekend awesome because it'll mean that I still have the majority of the day. That's always a good thing. It'll almost feel like two weekends off in a row, even.
