Do we really know what we're doing?

I recently left a job that was weighing on me, to where my mental health was tested in so many ways. I felt stuck, unhappy, cried almost weekly, if not daily. I wasn't okay. I was fed up with the position, it was horrible and made me feel less than who I was. When I made a decision to leave it was easy and tough at the same time. I had to have a conversation with myself to weigh the pros and cons. Pros: -I wouldn't have to come in every day, upset and angry at myself and mentally/emotionally checked out. -It would be something for myself; something that would make me happy and free (even for the time being). -Maybe my resignation would help the higher ups know (if they cared...which I doubt), that they had a great worker leave because the resources they claimed were available, weren't...and the request from those who wanted to stay with the company and "grow" were being ignored. Cons: -WHERE THE MONIES GON' COME FROM?! -BENEFITS? POOF! POW! BE GONE!...

Hey!

So it's been a while. YOU GUYS! I've graduated from college. It's been a very long time since I've updated this. I think it was right before I moved into my first apartment and started my last semester of college. A lot has been going on. My friends going through a lot, I'm trying to figure out the next step with my life. Yet, I feel a little bit free now. It's literally been 2 days since my graduation...but I feel so much more free. A huge weight has been lifted off of me. I feel like I can do whatever, except with my budget, that ain't gon' happen . But the main thing I need to do is write out the goals that I need/want to accomplish. That will be a way for me to outline what I need to do and it will help, well at least to me, make it seem to become more real. Either way...change is coming...it's definitely something I am looking forward to. Thanks for reading ya'll, JLK
But I seriously want to just hold someone’s hand. As corny as it sounds, it seems so gentle, so intimate, so…just love-like. I remember there was this guy who was like a class clown, younger, but very cute and it was summer. I ran to a grocery store to pick up a few things and he just so happen to work there.  He was a type of guy to go up to anyone and make them laugh, especially if he recognized them. Anyway, he said hey, I did too, and then he was walking out the door with me and just kidding around. But then…he just intertwined his fingers with mine and was holding. my. hand. Something about it was…just great…gentle…I felt connected. It was weird that I felt that way. I didn’t know why, I didn’t know him. I thought he was attractive but, I knew how he acted with other girls in school. He was a flirt. But it made me want to make sure that whenever I finally find someone or they find me, that that is something we do.

Priorities

So, I have wanted to write a piece/blog about the subject for a while but never sat down to write about it. Until I came across this story* on Nadia Aboulhosn's blog (it basically sums up my entire thoughts): A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’ The professor then produced two Beers from under t...
