LIFESPIRATION

I've missed you all, a lot.

I'm afraid summarizing the past month without delving into a wall of text even I would tire of seeing halfway through is nearly impossible, but I will try.

My parents' divorce is going along. Perhaps not the smoothest separation of all time, even if the statement itself is the Understatement of the Day, but it's going.

Rem and I have had a falling out from which recovery is highly unlikely. In short, we had outgrown each other a while ago, and both tried to maintain something that was long-since absent from our friendship. There is no forcing these things. We met September 9th, 2007. We ended July 6th, 2010. It's been a solid near-three years. We've went through more things together over the internet than most real-life friends have to endure. We've grown together. And I thank her for providing me the opportunity to be her friend.

I'm being laid off from my workplace due to the location being closed down last August. I have been offered a transfer, which is fantastic in the fact I will have a job waiting for me, and yet I've applied to multiple other places in the meantime. I'm hoping my career in the movie rental business will be coming to an end soon. The impact of how much I'll miss it struck me once I clocked out for my break, grabbed a Spongebob DVD off the shelf, and watched it in the back room during lunch. I maintain that a job will never reach the same zone of comfort I have now until I am able to do that on a regular basis.

I recently purchased a Blackberry. The majority of my day is spent in front of one screen or another. I've lost weight. My room has went uncleaned for weeks. I haven't been writing as much as I would like to, and summer break is just about half-done.

I'm not quite sure which of these last few problems I will remedy. Because right now? I am content. And I will only put down a bet for remedy if the house throws down a chance at happiness into the pot.

In the meantime, I'll just keep checking.
