Nouveau départ



My oh my, it has been sometime since I last updated this blog. I guess I decided to finally brush away the cobwebs and finally post about
what I have been up to.

**********

A few months ago I ended a relationship that wasn't right for me. To my surprise I found a new person to care for my heart right away. I had wanted to remain single for a while or even try dating a woman (one lovely one in particular). However, before I knew it my heart had been stolen right out of my chest in the midst of darkness one magical evening.

My lover is very much like me in many ways and I absolutely love that. Does that make me narcissistic, I wonder? Obviously two people need to have some common interests, but is there such a thing as having too many similar interests? I guess only time will tell.

Anywho....He is everything I have ever wanted/needed. I thought it was impossible for a person to ever fully understand another, but he has proven that thought to be wrong time and time again. He is perfect in the sense that he was made for me and I for him. Normally I would feel foolish about talking of "soul mates" especially so soon, but I don't feel foolish at all. I know my future is finally a bright one!


(My love, Brian, and myself in the middle of a private lake)

Any who... Brian and I have been together since the end of April 29th of this year and our fondness for each other grows each day. He is the only person who can match my "crazy" and I his. Another plus is that I get along very well with his family. I was expecting that to be quite difficult honestly because his family is Colombian, and the majority speaks mostly Spanish. It seems I have to brush up on my Spanish. So far I have a few things down. Most of it has to do with food though haha, I am such a fatty ( on the inside).

Finally with Brian I have found the motivation to do what needs to be done in order for me to succeed. I am finally driving more these past few months. Still not a huge fan of driving, but I know it must be done. I have also bought myself some health insurance. Have been meaning to go to the dentist as of late and it is awesome that I will not have to shovel out a huge chunk of change. Gotta continue to save for college classes!

This will also be the last week that I am living in Palmerton. My mother has decided to move in with her new man and though I am welcome there I do not feel comfortable living there. Nor do I wish to travel an hour to work.


Speaking of work...I got the job I was hoping to get! I had tried once before to gain employment there but due to a discrepancy I was not able to work. However, after trying again I have confirmed that I will begin working as a personal care aide in the city. That is so wonderful because I will now be living in the city. It will take me about 10 minutes to get to work everyday. I am also going to try and keep my job at the diner for a while yet. I need to make and save as much money as I can so that I can afford my own place. Don't really need anything fancy. Just a place to call my own that will not cost me an arm or a leg! Of
course I will have an Asian themed bedroom. I want to kotatsu so badly to keep my feets warm :3 !

I do hope that this new job and these new adventures will motivate me to draw and write more. I have really disappointed myself in the past few years with my art. Just need to try harder. I shall not give up!
