Thoughts...


As soon as my hopes rise
They seem to be dashed
Just waiting for things to work out
Wondering when they will
Trying to see the positive
In the world working against me
Seemingly harder than one would think
Perhaps now just isn't the time
But soon it will be
Wanting this great adventure
Wanting to know what's out there
Can't do it alone
Don't wanna try
What's next
Who knows
Taking it day by day
Deep breaths and good vibes
I'll make it through
That's all I know
Somehow someway
It will all work out

Visiting old friends before the adventure!

     So its been a few weeks since I have written in my blog. I have been super busy. I have been running around like a mad woman trying to get everything sorted out and whatnot before taking off. So let me give you an update of where I am right now. 
     
     So far I have gone through everything I had to see what I needed to get rid of. Who knew one could be such a pack rat. Everything else went into storage. I have since bought an old military pack which I now live out of. I took my car to a junkyard and scrapped it. With the money I received from junking my car I bought a greyhound bus ticket to Kalamazoo, MI so I could visit old friends before I actually hit the road. 

     I have been so happy since I been back. I love that I get to see all these happy faces and good times before I hit the road. Especially after the rough time that I had back in Massachusetts. I now have a place to stay until I leave which is really nice. Not only is it nice to see old friends but its been nice to meet new ones already as well. I know that I was only gone for 4 months but it seems like i was gone for at least a year, part of what was nice about coming back was that it felt like I never left. Everything just came back together. Chillin with friends like we had just hung out the other day. My first day back I was thinking to myself why did I even leave, and even though I did not have the greatest of times out east I learned a few lessons and some good times were had, so regardless it was worth it. 

     I feel so blessed that coming back out here to the Midwest I was welcomed with open arms and am receiving help until I leave. I can donate plasma again which is nice for some short term money until its time to go. That will be nice. The one thing that I already do miss though is not having a vehicle. Even though things are in pretty close proximity it definitely still takes a bit of time to get from one end of town to the next. Walking is definitely good and much needed on this body but in this hot sticky weather its just no fun and more of a burden than a good time.

     Anyway its about time I start my day. I will try to post something tomorrow. I've gotten back into my writing so maybe I will post something like that in here within the next week. Until next time...

Post of very little words

Fires burn
Embers ignited
Everything gone
Nothing but ashes

Taken by the wind
Never to be seen again
Pieces of life disappear

Never noticed
Floating in the wind
Not destined
A rad journey 

Life happens
World turns
Nothing stops
Just moments in time

Insignificant moments
Life goes on
Never grand
Just minuscule

And so it comes
And it goes
Just enjoy
Life is life
No regrets

Live for the future
Get out of the past
Time keeps moving
No need for rest.

Today is a post of very little words. Just been doing alot of thinking about the upcoming year and what surprises it has in store for me. Anyway I'll post something a bit thoughtful later this week sometime. Please share and get my Blog out there. Also please feel free to leave comments.

End of the road but not the end of the Journey!

     We as humans have a natural curiosity about us. We question everything we come across, sometimes its deep other times its a very shallow subject we inquire about. We ask ourselves why certain situations happen, why people have come into or out of our lives. These things happen for a reason, they are apart of the final endpoint. With that being said and after a couple of long conversations with people near and dear to my heart, I realize that this is not my present endpoint. As much as I love my job and coworkers and the amazing friends that I have made this just isn't enough for me. There is still something missing. Not quite sure what it is yet but I am ready to find out. I am so young and vibrant and full of life and I'm not ready to settle down yet. My spirit is looking to break free. I wanna see the world. I want to travel and enjoy life. I want to see what the world has to offer and show me. I want to see what I can learn from others around me and what I can enlighten others to.

     I have had an offer thrown my way to do a little bit of traveling and getting back to basics. To see what's out there and meet all sorts of new people, have adventures and learn lessons. I am so excited to be doing this. I already know there are a few people that are gonna be against it but I am doing me for a while. I am doing what I want to do and what's best for me in the current moment.

     I already know it's gonna be hard to go but it always is. I am so used to saying good-bye but as used to it as I am, it never gets easier. But I think that may be a good thing because it shows and teaches you alot when you say good-bye. The tears will be well spent. I feel so blessed to have met the people I have. They are all so amazing and beautiful. Each one in their own way. I hope that someday I can make it back to visit here and there.

     My time in Massachusetts has certainly been one for the books. It has taught me so much, I can't begin to express. It has certainly been a roller-coaster of emotions and experiences.The lessons I have learned in my short time here have been ones that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I am so excited to start this next journey of my life!

Emotions...Always Protect...Watch That Guard!

     So this is not gonna be a very positive post, just to warn any who reads this. Today's second blog is gonna be about the current living conditions as well as some personal stuff. Sometimes it is so hard to stay positive. I try so hard to make light of every situation but sometimes that's not enough. I believe that every decision and step we take in life's journey is for a reason, whether it be to teach us a lesson or just to steer us in the direction of our final end point. Something that can make us so incredibly happy or something so heartbreaking happens for a reason and sometimes right off the bat its hard to see that. One gets wrapped up in the present moment and/or emotions and it can make the simplest tasks so daunting and difficult.

     I do have to say that I am so happy with the current family I have with my coworkers. Even though my emotions are completely down trodden, they know how to bring a smile to my face and even make me laugh and that certainly helps me get through my day. I keep going back to the same thoughts though, like why is this the second time my heart has been broken in two months. I'm not sure why this is happening all I know is that it is for a reason. I suppose that I should know better than to get involved with people before I have my life set up as well as making sure others can fully invest themselves in the situation. With everything that has happened it just makes me want to put my guard up again like I did for three years after ending the relationship I had with my ex-fiance. I seemed alot better off and much more stable at that point in my life. 

     I know and have known for a while that I just need to focus on myself but things just happen and when you get caught up in that moment, it seems as though all those rational thoughts disappear. I am going to put those walls back up and cut out the middle man for a while (emotions). If I just focus on me and my work personally and professionally then I believe that I can get anything done. I am so grateful that I have my coworkers in my life as well as good friends who can try to help me through my emotional rough time. 

     I think that before you decide to jump into dating someone you really need to think things through. Your not over your ex, then clearly this is not the right time for this you are not ready. Who cares if you have a job, I know its important but that's why you have that other someone to help support u through the hard times and even if they are going through rough times as well its still a shoulder to lean on. Nothing should ever be done out of pity. You should want to be with someone because you have a good time around them, they care about you, they just want to do anything to make you happy, and they can be supportive no matter whats going on. Also one should not have to hear that you no longer want to see someone through a third party. That just not right and completely disrespectful. People always try to be friends after ending that certain relationship and in my experience it hardly ever works out. Its embarrassing to be around mutual friends and its such an uncomfortable situation. How does one act? how does one not make it awkward? how can anything be the way it was before. It can't. All one can do is try to put those emotions in a box and sort through them later. 

     Anyway so enough about the back, I think I've ranted and cried about that subject enough. Oh boy is it starting to get hot outside. The other morning I woke up about 9 AM and I was full on baking in my own car. I couldn't believe it was 85 degrees outside. My goodness. Its a good thing I have been drinking lots of water and always keep a good amount of water in the car. I'm not sure if I preferred the cold evenings or the disgustingly warm mornings. Just got to deal with everything one moment, one hour, one day at a time. Well I gotta get ready for work for my second shift today. Until next time folks. Please feel free to leave your comments on this blog. I would really appreciate the feedback for anything I have posted.

Motivation....Where Are You?

     Sorry its been so long since I have posted anything in the blog. And the apology is more towards myself than anyone else. I would definitely like for this to be more of a regular thing but as we all know life happens. We all get busy with people places and things that distract us from what we should be focusing on. 

     So anyway this chica has been super busy. Lets start with my work life. So I have been working in Bedford at a coffee shop and as much as I love my job there, I wasn't a big fan of coming back to the shop to work again after a year and a half to find out that everyone I used to work with was gone. Everyone had either moved to another shop or got a real job.But I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking hey new friends new start. And it was good the first couple of weeks but then I just started getting that feeling that no matter what I did I didn't fit in with the shop. But as the weeks went on I started helping out over at the Concord shop and immediately found my new family. From the first hour of my first cover shift I knew that was where I wanted to work. The customers were great, there is always something to do, and best of all the people that work there are awesome! I felt like I fit in immediately. I couldn't believe the warm welcome and the amount of laughs and smiles. How incredible. 

     It seems as though this is starting to become a regular thing, this feeling of belonging. I have been introduced to one of the greatest groups of people I have ever met. They are such a tight knit family and you can tell right away when meeting them. They all care for each other and protect each other its such a great thing to see. I feel like I have been missing that element in my life for a while with friends. Now don't get me wrong I have had such good friends in the past but there was always an element missing and I have found that in these people. They were so kind to accept me as I am in all my crazy ways and involve me in things so quickly. They are all so nice and non-judgmental. 

     This all happened because of stupid rational decisions. It is so crazy to see how life takes you on such a journey. It really comes to show you never know whats going to happen one min to the next. Who knew that moving out here for one guy who completely blew me off would turn into dating an old friend and meeting such a great group of people. The only bummer in life right now would probably have to be my living situation. I am staying in and out of a motel for the time being but the time I spend in my car are so far are nights that have been wicked cold. And it certainly is lonely at times. At least I can stay positive. It could be worse. I could not have a car and be on the streets. I try to think about that when I'm feeling down. I will be publishing two posts today so I will put an end to this one.
