It has been TOO long.
I don’t know why I am in such a nostalgic mood… maybe it’s the weather… maybe it’s my upcoming 27th birthday (YIKES)… maybe it’s taking a moment to stop and appreciate where I am. Whatever it is, I am here, and here’s what’s on my mind:
- I am turning 27 in less than a week, and this is DEFINITELY not where I thought my life would be… at almost 27, but I think that’s ok. I mean if I was… well my life would be a lot less interesting. I would have a lot less “Penny stories.”
- Grandma H… I don’t know why, but I keep thinking about her and her legacy.
- Boundaries. Not just the physical ones, but the ones we let (well I let) people cross far too often. Needless to say, I am getting better at learning how to pick through the BS and find the truth. I am not perfect, and I don’t pretend to be, but at least I know it’s a work in progress.
- I am way to hard on myself. Seriously.
- Saying yes to others (specifically to mooches) means saying no to myself and those I care about… and it doesn’t make me “nice” - in fact, I am learning that saying NO to these time and energy drainers makes me much nicer to those people and causes I care about… but like I said before. I am not perfect.
- Why does the potential to meet a nice guy terrify me more than the continuance of hanging out with assholes…
- I want a puppy… It’s pretty much what I think about ALL the TIME… and what I google in class.
