lately i've been sitting back and viewing my life with complete shock and awe.
if someone would've asked me a year ago where i saw myself in june of oh-eight, i don't think i would've had an answer. i probably would've spouted off about how i hoped to be living on the west coast or pursuing one of my dream careers, but i wouldn't have actually believed that i could be somewhere different than my hometown, my parent's house, or a dead-end job. it's crazy where desperation can take a person. it was most definitely desperation that drove me to the place where i am, but i also believe that divine intervention provided the means of transportation.
everyday i drive over the bridge and see the city skyline and my heart skips a beat. it has been nearly 5 years since i've been in an unfamiliar place exploring a new city. but being in a totally different geographic for the first time in my life makes it so much more exhilarating. it will forever amaze me how people can be from the same nation and yet be vastly different across the miles.
i meet so many people everyday and am slowly making little connections. i'm also learning many new things everyday not only about this place and other people, but sometimes i'm just reminded of things about myself that need strengthening, and yet i daily discover new things that i had not yet realized about me which is pleasantly surprising and slightly discouraging at the same time.
i've been really terrible about taking pictures lately, which is sad b/c i've been to alot of cool places and i can't believe i have no photographs to show for it! i hope to someday (soon!) have my life put together and back to a place where i can focus enough to remember i actually have my camera with me.
because honestly, as much as i'm loving my job and my new life, i'm stressed 100% of the time with alot of uncertainty hanging over my head. everyday is a fabulous adventure, and i'm still trying to enjoy every moment, but who knew sleeping and eating would become things that i have to remind myself to do?
the list of things i need to "get back to doing" grows daily, and i'm not really seeing a light at the end of this tunnel...actually i do, it's hopefully called august which will come sooner than i realize. it just seems very far away today.
hmmm...randomness. but just an update to say that i'm still alive. and someday i'll once again be an active blogger who politely responds to other's posts and comments!
