Kissin' My Cares Goodbye

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 2:20 AM
The Song Currently Stuck in my Head is:

"When that muffled sigh
Says you're barely getting by
Cut your burdens loose and just simplify
Simplify

As they all fall
Like a million raindrops
Falling from a blue sky
Kissing your cares goodbye
They all fall
Like a million pieces
A ticker tape parade high
Now you're free to fly"


Million Pieces - Newsboys

I had an epiphany a few days ago.
For months, I had no idea which direction I was going, no clue what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to go in the future.
I was in a rut.
I felt like my life had officially smashed full-tilt into a wall.
I was really depressed and upset that I didn't get the job I wanted, and didn't get ANY calls from any of the places I applied to.
I had no life. My friends were all in school, and I was just sitting at home, drowning my sorrows in video games.

Then, it hit me: Why the hell am I just sitting on my ass, waiting for something to happen? It's not like things are just gonna fall into my lap.
So, my life officially hit a turning point, and I decided that I was gonna get up off my ass, drop off a buncha resumes to who-knows-where, and leave it up to God to give me the job HE wants for me. Even if it is temporary.
That was going to be my first step in a new direction towards my future.

So, that's what I did.
Since then, I printed some resumes, went to the mall, and dropped them all off in less than an hour.
That's all I've been able to do, and yet so many things have fallen into place since then.
God's really started to work things out for me.

1. I decided that I'm going back home to MUN in September for a general year (No, I still don't know what I'm going to do after that, but hopefully, by the time that first year is over, I'll have some idea). Which is funny, when I think about it, because I always used to say, "I'm NOT going to MUN. I'm NOT going to St. John's. Screw that." But, in all honesty, I truly think I would enjoy it there. I really have no clue to why I hated the idea in the first place. :/

2. While talking with Bethany back home about where I was gonna live when I moved, I discovered that both Bethany and Tara are moving to St. John's in September. Bethany needed 2 people to live with, who wouldn't party, so me and Tara were the ideal choices for her. So, we've decided we're gonna all live together.

3. I'm super excited. :boogie:

Okay, well maybe it's not that many things. But, to me, after sitting on my ass for so long, it's a lot.
What's more interesting, is the fact that now that I've started making some effort, everything's seemed to just fall into my lap.
How's that for irony?

It really feels like 100 lbs has been lifted off my shoulders.
And that's a big thing for me, because it's never happened to me before.

Having said that, I still desperately need a job, and I'm still waiting on calls from places where I applied, so keep me in your prayers ^^
I'll be calling them all next week if I don't get any calls back, so here's hoping!

So, I'm thinking I might be taking some pictures of Leia again soon.
All this time I've been searching for inspiration, and I realized, "What am I, blind?! Leia's right here in front of me!"
So, anticipate those in the near future.

Plus, I got a new avvie ^^
I had a lot of fun making it, haha.
It seems the "Dance Party" thing is becoming a theme among my profile.

Welp, it's 3 am, so I'm heading off to get some schleep.

Adios!
