Single Again! / Weekend Part Time Job?
Well, this is gonna be a fun entry to write.
As the title suggests, I'm single once again. Earlier this evening, after weeks of soul-searching and inner turmoil, I ended my nearly-three-month-long relationship with Leann. I've never been the one to break up with someone, so this is very new to me. I don't know if there's a whole lot to say right now except that I let her down gently. While a lot of my anxiety about the relationship stemmed from her party-girl ways (Especially her behavior during her trip to Vegas several weeks ago), we amicably decided together to take a step back from "us" and take the pressure off. Both of us have been dealing with the unexpected demands and expectations we put on ourselves, and we have finally admitted that we moved way too fast from first meeting to going steady to where we are now. Personally, I'm also unsatisfied with where my life is at the moment (Living at home while unemployed) so I don't want her to have to stretch the truth when her friends and family ask detailed questions about her boyfriend. So, over the course of a very solemn hour earlier this evening as we sat on the floor of her apartment, we officially declared "us" to be on a break.
So that's the word. On a break. I don't plan on playing the field or getting back into the dating scene or badmouthing Leann at all. She's still my favorite girl at the moment and, maybe sometime in the near future when our lives are a little more stable and welcoming, her and I can try again at happily ever after. In the mean time, we'll see how things go. I feel good about it, and by the end of our evening together, we'd hugged and it was a very sweet moment. I have a feeling Leann will be in my life forever, one way or another.
In other news and speaking of unemployment and whatnot, I may have a part-time weekend graveyard-shift job at a local assembly factory coming up here in the next couple weeks. It'll be stupid manual labor, but money coming in is money coming in. Hopefully I'll make enough to afford Christmas this year! And having stable work again means my resume will look a little more up-to-date. Plus, with the job being on the weekends, that leaves my weeks open to continue looking for work and interviewing.
