Just finished helping my oldest and dearest friend pack up all of her worldy possessions this side of the Mississippi into the back of a U-Haul bound for Connecticut. She'll be starting graduate school this semester for a master's degree in Public Policy Management. I'm really happy for her! It's clearly what she wants and she's been able to lay all the groundwork to achieve her goals.
As for me, I start a job at one of the factories in town on Monday. My hometown is a two-ironic-factory town. The factory on the north end makes ordinances/munitions and the factory on the south end makes medical supplies. I'll be pulling a shipping shift at the south end. The pay doesn't suck and the company shouldn't be that bad either. I've got a plan for saving money and leaving a little left to have fun. I'm finally realizing the importance of balance in my life.
I feel like I'm making the most of my situation. I'm done shedding tears over all the things I can't have right now and all the things I had, but lost. I'm looking forward to being my own best friend again. As for the past, while I wish things would have happened differently, I wouldn't change the way things are now. I'm trying to learn from every situation, even if that means just learning how to do things wrong.
