It seems that after i had a cousin stay with me for a month, that life is finally back to normal. Looking back over the last month, i find myself realizing that it was quite aweful, however i seem to not be affected by the degree of tragedy that found its way to my heart. In summary of the past month let me review for you what has transpired. My beloved cousin returned home after spending an entire month with me, then my uber best friend moved to a city 400 miles away, that same weekend, one of my very close friends was killed in a car accident, I was sick for 20 days with bronchitis, and then last weekend another of my friends moved away. I appreciate how my life is so extreme one month and then the next month things just settle down. For instance, this month will be spent working full-time, and going to school, as i hope to finish my degree in may. Though this schedule may seem boring to most, i find it relieving to have a schedule that doesnt include surprises and twists and turns. It is good to get down to the grind and just work. Knowing that i will do the same thing tomorrow and the day after. Naturally in anticipation of may, my heart becomes excited as i plan for the future and all that it may entail. I hope i sound more hopeful in this post than the first three, as circumstances allow me to be more hopeful.
