I had the oddest realization the other day. It's odd in the fact that it was so obvious and simple that I had not even seen it. So ready? Here it is.
I'm not busy anymore.
Weeeeeeeiiiiird. I spent the last year prioritizing my internship above everything. My evenings were not my own half the time because I had meetings to be at. It was a fact of life that I got used to. I was so busy that I forgot to cut my hair for 6 months. It felt like I had cut it recently and then all of the sudden it's 6 months later and I have ridiculous amounts of hair.
But now I have my evenings free. I have to come up with ways to fill them for myself. I suppose one suggestion would be to get a hair cut.
You want to know what the tragic part is? I'm sad that I'm not busy. I love being busy. I like not having all that much time to myself at home because when I do find that time, I truly appreciate it. If I'm not busy all the time then I get bored quickly, what with having no TV to constantly entertain me. And you know what I hate? Being bored. It's definitely the worst.
Anyway, in a nutshell: I have free time and it's kind of freakin' me out.
The life of a twenty-something finding a way to focus her awesomeness in an effort to change the world, one town at a time.

dear stephanie,
i recommend google earth.
love mandy
Seriously, dude, welcome to the "party". You like to think that your days will be filled with random stuff, but, even if you do as much as you can...you're still never really all that busy. The google-earth's a good idea, or taking up some sort of craft/hobby. Making yourself a nice dinner every night helps take up some of the evenings, too. :o)
Boredly yours,

Yeah, I'm at the stage where I still feel guilty for doing two or three unproductive things in a row.
I'll get used to all this time, I'm sure, but right now I'm still just getting used to putting myself back on the priority list.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
you can get your hair done, listen to more music, see live shows, go to galleries, come visit your sisters, start painting, read more books, relax every now and then. breath...
