30

So I have been on this lovely Earth for 30 years now. With so much to learn. Each year I am surprised by how much I don't know and what I get to experience.

29 was a good year, fairly uneventful in my personally little life, but the people around me, there was a lot to be had!

One fun thing I got to do at 29 was sort of DJ my great friends wedding, Mrs D, although she didn't actually let me be totally free and play my crazy, weird music, I still go to be the one saying I want to play this song she picked next.

I also got to experience having a very dear friend in an area in the world hit by a natural disaster, and see how some people would just be like okay, got my stuff, I'm outie. She showed how strong, and willing to adapt and go back. Yeah, we might not think she is all that smart, but she is very brave and a truly strong women. We do not know how we will deal with life until we are faced with it, and she is only going to be stronger and better to deal with my life issues now (sort of funny, come on!). We are all still hoping she comes back but their is a piece of me that wants her to stay, to be a role model, to be a person that I can be like if Whoolie can do it, I probably could too.

Another friend got engaged to her long time boyfriend, and is finishes her teaching degree. She is busy with so much in her life, I wonder how she has time to eat or sleep. I hope that she finds a little bit of me time, and look forward to seeing her in May and then to be apart of her wedding day. Still thinking of a great speech, and toast.

Then there is A, she has a baby girl, a year and a half, working full time and going for another with her wonderful husband. I am so happy that I live so close to her, although I think we need to see each other more often.

And I can't help but think am I someone that people think oh wow, she is doing great things too in her life.?

So what makes me feel like I'm doing shit! Well I'm not finishing my master anytime soon. I have no idea what I truly want to do with my life. I run more than anyone I know, except my running buddy, she is hardcore. I love red wine. I love J. I got new tires. I recently dusted off the sewing machine and got the juices flowing for DIY. Yeah, I'm not exactly where I thought I wanted to be, but I have a degree, I have a good paying job with people I like, I am in a relationship (that I want the next level, I am a girl that has been dreaming of her wedding forever, and I can make a decision to save your life), we have an awesome house, we have great friends, we have two great dogs, that love us as much as we love them (poop scooping the backyard tomorrow....) and well for 30 I hope I have many years left to find new to do's for my list and maybe complete a few that are still on there.

There are a lot of negatives out there, I'm trying to deal with them, but there is more positives and they are what keep me going. So year 30, what will you challenge me with, because I'm a lot stronger than I was last year.

When all the pieces fall....

Not really sure what the end result will be when everything is broken and all over the floor. But that is what I have to wait for. It is strange to just be watching from afar as events keep unfolding, getting uglier and uglier, and more like what once was will never actually be again.

There are reasons why I moved away, so I could be more independent and do things as I wanted to. There are reasons why I was never close with family, and why my friends are some of the most important people in my life. You get to pick them, and if they don't work out like many have in the past, it is just a way of life. The friends that are really important to you, you may fight with, cry with, laugh and have the best of times with them, they are the ones that I need in my life right now.

I personally feel like I'm losing my family, and well I could do something about it, I can't till they figure out what is going on and deal with the issues. I have tried, and now I'm done.

So I'm taking a step back, going to rely on my friends and J for support.
