Wow. My heart is seriously going out to my friends. Honestly, there is not a single person in my life right now that I'm not worried about. It's crazy!
But I'm an optimistic person and know that although things are rough right now, everyone will be in a much better place in no time. Everything happens for a reason and what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right?!
I know it's hard to remember, but life is all about lessons learned.
I'm doing well. After some serious ups and down with Travis over the past 6 months, we've done a TON of talking and reflecting over the past month and a half and are finally past everything and back to a good point. I've never been happier or in a healthier relationship. Although I don't have everything I want right now, I know that if it's meant to be, it'll be, just not necessarily on my timeframe. But I can't ignore the fact that I'm happy and things are good, so I might as well enjoy it because there's no sense in me getting sick and worried over the future, which I cannot control.
I spent the entire weekend moving Travis. Cleaning, shopping, unpacking, etc. His apartment is sooo nice and in a great location, right downtown in West Hartford Center...less than a block from Blue Back Square. It's like a combination of Coolidge Corner, Brookline, Newton and Back Bay. It's REALLY nice. We had a great weekend together and I think he truly appreciated me helping him settle in...things have been getting better with time again with us. Now that the pressure is gone it definitely helps. And I think now that he's living with a friend who's a complete slob and the situation is not as ideal as he thought it was going to be, he's seeing a light a bit and appreciating me more. His mom told me to give him a year and that this move will definitely change him. From just 3 days I feel like he's already changed! So we'll see. He needs to do this.
The next month for me is going to be filled with packing up all of my belongings and shipping 1/2 of them to Ang's house and the rest to my parents to store until I move again. I'm still waiting for word from work as to whether or not I can transfer, and if so, when. Year end is at the end of this month so hopefully I'll have an answer soon enough.
Financially, moving in with Ang is going to help me get back on track with things and at least pay down my debts. But it all comes with a price in that my commute is going to blow and I'm giving up my own place, and moving out west. But there's too many pros to worry about the cons. And it's one step closer to getting into a better financial position now that I make $15k less a year than I did a year ago.
So things are good with me. I'm here for the rest of you! You've been nothing but great support and nice slap-in-the-face reality checks for me!
