Hello Again

What I like most about my blog, or any blog in general, is that it's a forum to rant. In nicer terms, a forum to vent. The last couple of weeks have been exhausting for me. Emotionally, mentally, and physically. Work has been nuts, my wedding is approaching and that's been nuts, and it seems like nothing is fitting together as it used to.

I was chatting with a friend today and he was talking about his struggle to meet new people in a town he moved to, to be with the person he loves. His job leaves little room to become work bff's with anyone and the awkward schedule he has with his significant other leaves little room to go out and socialize. Another friend is continuing their search for love. A prospective suitor has left them more confused than infatuated and more so another friend is searching for their calling in life. Stuck between a job they love and the limited possibility that this dream job could turn into a steady career, this has them struggling to find a middle ground.

I think back to when jobs filled the hours between class and the next social outing, boy/girlfriends came a dime a dozen (not for me per se but you get the point), and friends consumed more time than any other activity and I laugh. I wish I could hit rewind and spend less time worrying about "growing up" and more time  focusing on how awesome it is to have little responsibility. Life is not terrible right now. In fact it could be far worse.  I still have a job I love. I'm still getting married to the man I love. And I'm still in a house that I mostly love (I can't wait to get rid of the carpets). But I can say I'm ready for this roller coaster to stand still for just a moment or two. I'd like to catch my breath.
