It's been awhile...so many changes

It's funny how life is. Sometimes your life changes slowly, because of decisions you've made for yourself, and those are the time when you want things to change the most. Other times, you just want things to be. You like the way things were and you just wanted it to stay that way. It is at this point where without warning the tornado of life grabs you, whips you around, and places you in uncharted territory.

This is where I am right now. I will soon be starting somewhat of a new job, at a new location. I had no choice but to switch, it's part of the job for newbies. (I would like to keep my job somewhat of a secret, thank you for understanding). My landlords are looking to sell the house, of which I rent out the top floor. This could mean that I might possibly have to move out of an apartment I love.  I signed up for an online course before all of this tumult began, what a silly mistake. On top of all this I have a heavy workload in my current job.

However, I am still continuing to to work through The Artist's Way, in order to unlock my creativity, and maybe some happiness to go along with it. Through all of this I have also learned what is really important. Here are a few of those things:

• The connections you make with people.
• Taking care of yourself.
• Friends and family, (the good ones, the bad ones are toxic-stay away).
• Being happy. I have learned recently that this one isn't always easy. How foolish I was to think it was easy.
• No one is perfect, not even you, so don't try to be.

These are just a few of the things that I am learning, I could probably go on forever...

I am two weeks away from turning twenty-five and if I look put myself in my shoes at fifteen I would have never thought life would be so hard. Mind you, I know I'm not starving or anything to that effect, but I never thought life was so hard for ordinary folk, I guess. There is also a lot I am not sharing that would make these statements more understandable. 

My main point is that I now look upon those older than me with more respect. They made it through, they may be still figuring things out - I think we'll always be - but at least they keep on going. I have no clue what the future holds for me but I must keep on moving and doing what I think is best for me. 

P.S. I am making it my duty to have more entries.
