Saying NO to Negativity
[edited out for personal reasons] It’s unhealthy and I need to teach myself that if I care enough to complain, I should care enough to change. Maybe I can’t control whether or not someone decides to hire me but there are a million other decisions to be made every day. Lately, it really feels like…

Nearing the End
Will someone please tell me why I ever thought that coming “home” would be a good idea? I’ve been nothing but miserable since the very moment I crossed the state line into Michigan. Today, in particular, has been one hell of a bad day. Last night, due to all of my stress and frustration, I basically blew…

The Domestic Life
Do you know what is really hard? Having truly amazing friends who are incredibly talented, motivated and successful. I want to be happy for them because they deserve their happiness and success; they have worked so incredibly hard for what they have and no one should ever begrudge them these things. Why can’t I be…

The State of Discontentment
I have been wanting to drive home to Michigan for a while for a few reasons. First of all, I miss my pets. I have a dog and two cats that live with my parents. My roommate is allergic to cats and sometimes, I swear to you, I have withdrawal from cats. They are so…

Definitely Today
Sleeplessness is something I’ve been battling a lot over the past few months. After being laid of on April 24, I expected to slide into a new job relatively soon thereafter. I immediately, that very day, began plugging away at positions. I revamped the resume and went to task, because who can afford to be…

The Waiting Game
Isn’t that the theme of my life? Hank hasn’t been paid in two months. Working in Spain, I guess, can sometimes be sketchy and his employer messed up the payroll. They only get paid once per month normally so missing one paycheck is huge. His boss claims he’ll receive pay for both this and last…

Hello world!
Today, I feel quite wretched. I’m over here swallowing razorblades, knowing that I should probably get my tonsils removed to avoid going through this again and again. Being one who generally avoids doctors at all costs, I really can’t see actually doing anything but gritting my teeth until I recover. This is typical for me,…
