self reflection
Things Making My Night Pleasant:
- a full belly of Pad Thai
- paper lanterns illuminating my deck
- cool weather, slightly offset by a grey fleece blanket
- she wants revenge on the stereo
- fresh SF sourdough to nibble on
- emails
- anticipation for a late movie
I must say, mostly to document for myself, that I really am quite happy both right this second and in general. Often when I am riding my bike back from campus through all the pretty houses that I live near the thought that enters my brain is "I love my life." I truly think this is one of the first times I've been as satisfied as I am right now.
That doesn't mean life is perfect, as:
- I hate how I look
- MANY of my close friends are no longer residing in Davis
- lack of a boyfriend
- I have TONS looming over my head
- I'm relatively terrified about the future.
But,
- I am trying to be better about what I eat and working out, and riding my bike is helping.
- The friends who aren't around are only an email or phone call away, and while that still is pretty damn far away, I am incredibly lucky to have friendships that I miss so much.
- Lack of a boyfriend is still in the semi-recent stages making it as much of a blessing as a curse.
- I'm not really doing a show, peer advising seems to be working out, and I like my classes
- whatever I'm doing, I think I can do well.
So, its a happy day in the world of Erin. (Hopefully I haven't just jinxed myself)
