Look who?
Wow it's been some time since I've wanted to sit down and write what's been going on in my life. I feel like I can't hold on to what's going on around me these days. I've just been so busy and while it's good for me it is a far stretch from where I was just 3 months ago. It's amazing how much a person's life can change so quickly.
In August I was spending most of my days at home with my mother sulking in my bed or watching Nora's baby. I didn't want to do anything. I was miserable with my life. I had no money, limited friendships, and a lot of absolutely nothing going on. Then I got this job with Lane Bryant as an associate. I was happy but then they told me I could only have about 8hrs a week. Even if I had just started school again; it wasn't enough. I went back to being whiney and miserable. It only took a week and a half before they promoted me to a Relief Key Holder (which is the lowest part of management but it was a $.50 raise). I was happy and stayed there for about a month.
During this time I also moved into a house in North Charleston with Melissa and Gary. It's been rough but worth it. About a month ago I got a return call from David's Bridal about an application I put in with them. I did the interview and they offered me a CSR(again, low level management) position for a dollar more than I was earning with LB. I gave LB my two weeks and moved over to them. Now just two weeks later I have given my two weeks to David's because they cut my hours and have made my way back to LB for an addition $1.50... I know it's creeping in very small amounts but at this point in my life every penny counts. It's very tiring keeping up with both jobs and school but I'm doing the best I can. I'm hoping next year will be much more relaxed and I can finally come up for air. I don't expect that to happen between now and the New Year though.
As far as my personal life goes these days I am kind of keeping things to myself a little more. I believe less and less that what happens in my life has to do with anyone else. It is not the business of my friends or family who I am dating or where my interests lay. I have had a lot of ups and downs as far as people go the last few months. My biggest issue has been Michael but I feel as though our last pretty awful phone call has set things straight. I am ready to let go. I am ready to see other people and let Michael drift slowly out of that part of my life. It was been 8 months since our relationship has ended and it is time to just scoot past it and see what the world has in store for me. I am very young and I have a lot of things to learn about life. The fact that I'm not getting married and creating a family for myself yet is just okay now. It hurt for a while but I really don't need any of that yet. Maybe in a few years.
I am still working on starting my photography company but I don't know to put it out there until I have it all together. I know some of you had wondered what happened with that.. well that's where it went. It is still there but it is a slow process. I'll have more information soon.
