Why don't I use my journals more? Life Update
8 years ago
General
I'm so bad at actually updating my followers/friends with life stuff... I guess because I presume no one cares about it? But since I never really talk about things in person, it's nice to get things out in the open.
Ever since I graduated from College, I've been living back home in NC with my parents. Rent is nonexistent, and I got my job back at JoAnns, so as much as it bummed me out not to get insta-hired in my field and start my adult life, it's practical and comfortable. Retail is retail. My coworkers are artsy and nerdy tho. Hell yeah.
But as much as it feels like things are agonizingly the same, a few cool things did happen.
Without school, I could take the time to work on my art! Obviously, I'm not as good as my idols yet, but I can see improvement. I feel like everything I upload recently is art of my sona and my partner ( I'm SORRY XD I feel like that high schooler kissing in the hallway. There will be other, non "me" centric art to come)
Speaking of which, I never really outlined it but I obviously have a boyfriend now.
One of my coworkers convinced me to go on a blind date with his roommate. Honestly, I wasn't too hyped about it. I had convinced myself not to date anyone because I would just have to move away soon. But dammit he was cute and nice and a furry and 3 months later here I am.
Ironically, he may move away anyway. It's not 100% for sure yet, but still. I feel like I should be less distressed about it than I am, since I saw it coming, but this kinda stuff is never easy.
As usual though, I'm taking most of those emotions and burying them though, so don't expect any 3 am depressed journals or whatnot. ;p
On... somewhat neater news, my future plans are shaping up as well~ My roommate from college,
hit me up today and asked if I possibly wanted to get a place with him after he graduates. We'd been talking about it here or there for a while, and it's always been something I hoped for. We've lived together for a couple years already and know we work well as a team, and raised a dog (Can't wait to have my dog son back!) We are both thinking about settling down in Richmond Virginia.
I was originally set on Philly, but Richmond is actually looking really nice! It's only 3 hours away from NC, and if I decide to visit Ferox in SC, it's still only 5 hours away as opposed to the 3 I'd be driving anyway. The city is has a lot of young people, and it's artsy and, and on a river - just like Savannah! The apartments we are looking at are everything I ever dreamed of (industrial lofts with big windows and exposed brick. There's even a JoAnns down there that I can transfer to, so I have a steady job right off! That's not till July though, so plenty of time to worry about that.
Anyway, all in all, I'm really excited about things that are happening, although a big chunk of it is bittersweet. I'm having to face decisions that are unpleasant, and face realities that hurt - but ones that I would be cowardly to not face head on.
I know most of ya fuzzbutts don't really care, so sorry this went on as long as it did. But typing it out makes it just a little more real, and helps me sort things out.
TL;DR, Sad cheetah is a semi-functional adult who's gotta make some hard choices to better her life. She is more confident about herself, but at the same time has times where she is afraid and insecure about the future. She will be at FWA though. Most of my weekend will be lonely hermiting at the Artist Alley, so stop by and say hey~
Kitkat out!
