Great minds think differently

So I'm not sure what made me decide to try this again but I think no matter what, it's going to be worth it. I need something to consume my mind during the day and a place to release my thoughts for my own good. XANGA and Live Journal are pretty dead so I might as well reside here.

I feel like a lot of things have changed for me since then anyway and I wouldn't mind starting fresh. I'm now 23 years old and I'm starting to really begin my 'life after college.' I know it's been a rough road moving back home and seeing how I have to evolve into this adult figure now but it's also been very interesting. My parents and I tend to get along a lot better now and even when I do spend some time at home, it's not dreadful. I like talking to them about a lot more than I used to because I think they get that I'm growing up but I'm more responsible now than ever. We've had our differences over the last year or so but I can see it gradually growing into a great relationship between the 3 of us.

I guess I can say that I'm proud of myself and where I am in life as of now. I have a full-time job in this extremely weak economy with great benefits and whatnot. I am still extremely independent and I want to do so much more but I've decided that the only way to do it right is in moderation. I guess something I'm talking about is moving out on my own. I'm going to do it, whether it be the next months or maybe a year or two but at this point there's no rush. Sometimes I feel like it would be too perfect and I wouldn't get to do some of the things I have been. Other times I feel like settling somewhere maybe closer to work or Philadelphia would be a mistake because I'm not sure this is where I want to be much longer. Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll be meant..

I've also become quite the traveler. Vegas this past March was amazing and I will be leaving for Chicago two weeks from yesterday for a long weekend. I want to see where I feel most vibrant and take those energies into consideration for the future. Really excited for this trip though because I've been told so many good things about the city. Plus, I won't be traveling alone this time so I'll be able to share the experience with someone I think will get just as much as I hope to out of it.

I know this seems long but I guess I feel like I should catch myself and people up on where I'm starting out. I've decided too that being more positive about a lot of things will help you get more from them. I used to get upset about the small details but I just realize it's not worth it. Enjoy your life and take what you can get because it doesn't always last. Enjoy the company of others and indulge yourself in people who you can learn from and feel like you will never stop learning from them.


Until the next thought-

And on a side note.. I definitely feel like a hipster today and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the choice of music at work but it makes me smile and laugh.
