Wow. Been awhile, huh? I know. My bad. I don't use this often enough.
Despite all the time, though, not much has happened in my life personally. I almost died in November (although I've been told I'm over exaggerating about it), I got a shiny laptop for my birthday in December, had a nice, cozy New Year's drinking cheap champagne with Timmy at home, and have lately been feeding my new addictions to Gears of War and Guitar Hero II. Despite the every-day financial hassles, and the occasional argument, I'm happy right now...And I suppose I can thank a certain friend of mine for opening my eyes and helping me realize what's truly important in my life, although I'm sure he doesn't realize that he's helped me at all. He's too busy focusing on his material wants to really notice anything past his girlfriend. But in my attempt to help him see beyond the "things" he "needs", I ended up realizing how truly content I am with my own life. Even though I'm not really working very hard toward my career goals, I learned that it's okay if I'm not obsessed with getting to where I want to be. I live with a lot of good people, and I have good friends, and I'm with a good man, who loves me and takes care of me. And as long as I have love, I'm content no matter what other problems come up. I could be living in a box with Tim and I'd still be happy.
As long as I have you guys, my friends, all the every-day shit just doesn't matter.
And I wish that HE could see it that way too. But when you've constantly got someone telling you that's not enough, I guess eventually you'll start thinking it is.
I hope he realizes it eventually.....
