So after 3 months of searching, emailing, posting resumes, waiting for call-backs and sitting through interviews...it happened. I got a job. And not just any job...quite possibly the closet thing to a perfect job that I could ask for right now.
I am a travel writer (sighs). A real one. One who gets sent to hotels, gets free lobster dinners and massages so that places can have me write wonderful things in our magazine about them. It's a pretty sweet deal. Sure, the pay is pretty close to shitty and my office is about 30 minutes away from home, but I feel lucky. I have a real job with a my own office and my own extension. I get packages and press invitations addressed to me and best of all, I have a great feeling that this is only one step in the career direction I want to go. I'm sure there's great things to come.
I also met a boy <3. I know, I know... I meet boys all the time. But this boy is for real. This boy wants to see me all the time, he calls, he took me to meet his parents. This boy, after a month of dating became my boyfriend. Super weird to say it... I have a boyfriend. I still can't believe how it all happened, that it's all real even. But it did happen, it is real and it feels awesome. It's like the universe was like..."here, i'm tired of fucking with you...here you go, merry christmas in july". For the first time in a long time...maybe ever, things feel completely right (sighs). I've kept waiting for it to change, fade, suddenly end even (while of course still enjoying every minute) but it hasn't, and something tells me it's not going to.
And I am the happiest I've ever been <3.
