December is like Broccoli
This fall/early winter has been a great one. I took Anna to see Imogen Heap, and we saw some great opening bands as well. It was an awesome feeling to share that whole experience with my best friend, and to know she probably peed a little when I suprised her with the tickets.
I have the best friends, I really do. It's so rewarding to be living back in portland and have my family and friends here to support me whenever I need them. I am usually so irritated by the holidays, but I sort of realized that I hate it so much because I force myself to. Kind of like when you keep telling yourself you hate broccoli though you haven't tried it in years, and when you do eat it again it sucks because you won't allow yourself to love its green, greatness. Broccoli rocks by the way. I think what helped me figure that out was seeing how unhappy some people are during this time of year and how they take it out on random strangers (i know from personal experiences) and its not right. I dislike the americanized vision of christmas, and since I'm not religious in sort of way I had to find my own personal meaning for it. I'm glad that I'm starting to understand that. My life is what I make it be, and if I am unhappy its no ones fault but my own.
I have been learning so much about myself the past few months, and though the time was due for such an experience I didn't think I would figure things out so...easily. Its nice.I really want to start updating this more frequently.
