Hey hey hey,
So I've been hanging out with the adorable boyfriend quite a bit over the last few days because I'm leaving today (actually sitting in the airport right now) to go visit my grandparents for two weeks. I've been looking forward to this trip all semester long. I love it up in WA and I love hanging out with my gramps and grams. Only sad part is that I'm going to miss home, my boyfriend, my family, and my friends. But I'll be back soon enough for them, and the break from everything is very very welcome.
Oh - there's the plane - got to get on it!
Ta Ta!
Sincerely,
Sarah

TSP 41: Took a Bit of A Break for the Holidays
Dear Readers,
I have come to the conclusion that 365 posts will take me considerably longer than 365 days. However, I am 100% fine with this truth, for I have never denied that I am both busy and a procrastinator. Busy meaning that the amount of stress and things that I fit into my day are more than I can handle on a usual basis. To be honest, I seem to have pushed more friends away than actually made friends - so in that department I'm not quite busy at all.
In high school I was busy in conventional terms - I shuffled school, extracurriculars, housework and taking care of my dog, and my friends, and a boyfriend, so much so that I got the reputation of being "busy." It stuck. So much so that everyone thinks that I simply do not have time for them and my life is crazy. This isn't true. Most of the time I'm lonely and missing the friends I used to have. Living in this place for 6 years now, the most I've lived in any one place, has shown me that you can choose your friends. I find that around some people I'm still lonely, because everyone needs people in there life who can understand them and sometimes the people you are with simply don't. Some of them never will.
Thus, in this quest of self discovery, as I learn more about myself everyday, I'm also learning more about the people I need to have as friends and the discrepancies between my needs and what I have now. I need friends that aren't so cliquey in their relationships that they have time for me. I also realized that I used to be that way in my relationships and I've changed because I understand that if you lose a boyfriend you still have your friends only if you didn't lose them because of the boyfriend.
To say the least, break has been enlightening for me so far.
