Horrah Age!

I feel like I am coming full circle.I feel like things are finally falling into place. Not just for me, but for everyone that I know. We are all finding what makes us happy and grabbing it and taking it. I think we are all finally at the age where we know how to get what we want, have that maturity that we did not have in our early 20's, know how to articulate our needs...I am loving it! Horrah Aging. Horrah wisdom! Just be honest with yourself, with your surroundings, make the most of what you have and everything good will come your way!

Letting go

Lately I have been letting go. Letting go of worry and letting go of hate. Letting go of anxiety. Just letting things go away. Is this my happy place? I think so. Not so easy to do. Just accept others and myself and I am, as they are. Really what else can you do. You can go through life saying this person needs to be this or this person needs to do that, they need to be more this and less that. You can't do that. Acceptance is HUGE. Once you accept yourself and others as they are, life becomes a beautiful colorful place full of characters. Laugh. Really laugh. Stress is a black ball that lives inside of you and grows and darkens the short time that we do have here. One of my new years resolutions was to not control my enviornment. Yes. Don't worry about that pile of stuff. Don't freak if the medicine cabinet is not shut( I am working on that one:) But really, it came down to not always having to make myself number one, being more complimentary with my friends and family, not nit picking everyones personality. Don't be so hard on yourself. If there is something that you want to change, than work to change it. Realize that this takes time. Real time. Lifetimes. Everyday. Take fear by the horns and ride it in the direction you want it to go, and if it is something that you can let go, than do it! I have to go pack now.

Moves

Geoff and I are going to sign the paperwork on our condo today. Seven months of living apart I have to say that is longest we have ever had our own roofs. We live together -we don't. Let's see we started out living at our respective parents homes, then I moved into that garage senior year, then we moved in with his parents, then I moved back home, then I moved in with his grandma up the street from his parents in Phelan, then I moved back in with him and his parents, then I moved back home, then we moved to LA and each lived with respective roomates, then we moved back in together,I moved back in with my parents and he lived in his Cadillac for three months, then he moved in with his mom, then we moved to Arizona, then he moved back to California for three months and lived with Mike and Jen, then he moved back to Arizona with me, then I moved to California...for like a week, then I told him I wanted him to move out and he moved in with Jack and Marie, then we moved back in together, then I got my own place and he got his own place...Seven months it's been...Now we are moving back in together. I laugh while I write this...we just cannot be apart. I have to say our relationship has been colored with well...moves. The one thing that has been constant despite all this moving is US. No matter where we go, or where we live we have each other. I am sure people that know us think that we are nuts, it just happens that way that has been our life with each other. I wouldn't have it any other way. We have managed to stay together but still give each other the space that we needed to grow as separate people. Not many people can do this. I am excited about moving back in together, but really it is just another page in our book. I do my thing, he does his thing, and we do our thing together. It is just as simple as that.

Since

Since I have quit smoking I have still wanted to smoke. Since I stopped eating so much I have lost some weight. Since I have quit being Negative I have become more postive. Since I have quit obsessing I have had more brain time.Since I have been meditating I have been calmer. Since I have quit analyzing I have become less analytical. Where has this gotten me? At the dead end of a road..where is there to go when you quit curving. When your life becomes a straight line? When you do all the things that you set out to do? I have to go make a mess. I don't know what yet, but I will. Hahaha.

Changes

This year I have made a lot of changes for myself...all good ones. For starters I quit smoking.I did not even give it a day...couldn't tell you the day I quit It has been like two months. I feel good about this-the cigarettes needed to go..they were stressing me out. Will I get cancer? AM I going to look older than my friends that are the same age and don't smoke? Blahblah blah plus they were expensive.SO I gave myself a $$Raise$$ and quit. Leading to another healthy decision...I don't want to gain weight when I quit so I have made it a point to work out 5 days a week since.I look f#*`*ing good.MMMKKAY...The better I feel I start to look the more time I want to invest. Not obsession,but yeah I want to wear my jeans. SO the working out has led to another healthy habit, you work out you eat what you want you maintain, you tighten up...but you want your ass( well I want my ass) to look smoking ( because I am not smoking) in jeans so I started eating healthy. I feel good lately folks. OH..and I am getting braces..now that I have a couple extra bucks$$ to fix my gap teeth. Not that I have ever felt that they were a huge problem, but well, one of my regular customers( who incidently is a famous orthodontist and author) is footing most of the bill for me. Well- that was a deal that I couldn't pass up. I feel like EVERYTHING is on a major upswing for me right now. OHOHHOHOOH I also found the perfect perfect perfect condo for Geoffrey and I to live in in MARCH!! When we move back in together.....Honestly, It Scares ME...When everything is UP there is only one place to go. DOWN.I am just going to enjoy this upswing for right now though. I will deal with DOWN when it comes.

Really

I'm bored and I have a lot on my mind lately.
I feel like I have all the answers. But nobody has the answers for me. Answers for my lifes questions and conundrums. Everyone is always too buisy, and I am always too buisy with everyone elses problems too address my own feelings about things that are bugging me. 99.9% of the time this works to my advantage in that my own minor problems end up being just that, minor and they just go away if I don't turn them into issues.
The least I can do for myself right now is address the minor issues by writing them down.
I don't really know how minor they really are, and if I write them down they will cease to be minor and I will have to confront them...dammit.
I want more time for myself outside of the house doing something that will enrich me. The only problem with this is then my house falls apart(thanks mom) and there fore I feel like I need to be on top of things 100 percent of the time which isn't fair. For example. Not to bitch but yes, to bitch. I am sick for a few days and the dishwasher can't get emptied. UM. Hello Geoffrey. I need to have a talk with him about this but first I need to find out what I want to do for some sort of extra curricular type enriching experience. I am such a homebody and a loner.
Second. I have to stop giving all my time to Cheyanne unless she wants to go do something other than just hanging out at her house talking. It is non-productive. I am broke, is not an exuse that is going to fly because you have plenty of money to do plenty of other stuff. That's all.
