So I have been in Houston for a year and exactly 6 months. This has been one of the most exciting years for me thus far. Being only 28 I would never presume this to be the best yet...matter of fact age 25 was pretty great...but for less altruistic reasons....low brow mhmmm~ HA~Moving right along......
I am really starting to move forward in a way that I can actually see the progress. I have been in and out of school taking a few legal classes at a time...Actually taking things slowly has helped enormously in terms of focusing on the goals ahead....my sister is forever reminding me to take things bit by bit and not try to eat the whole whale at once.....So that has been working I actually make A's taking two classes at a time instead of dropping classes left and right...I am finally committing~ sort of~ to a home with the purchase of my new condo....Houston is stuck with me for a little while it seems....My career has taken some interesting twists and turns....When I first moved to Texas I was bemoaning the end of an era....For 5 years I worked in private college admissions and it was a turbulent Love affair...I hated to love it...and it paid so well~ But once I got settled here in Texas and stopped looking for work in that field it was like the clouds parted and I was hired to work for an HR firm initially as a full desk recruiter......A hurricane happened and things shifted in my office and I am slowly evolving into some other position that has no real title other than "Business Development"....God is so good even when I am broke and annoyed about my financial status I am still excited about what is being done.....I am working for someone who I respect and admire and that makes it all worth while~ Let me add on to that because it is even more that I know for a fact that I can not only accomplish what she has accomplished but I can do it at a younger age....So to say that this has been an easy year would be a total lie~
Relationships...ahhhhhem the main source of life's frustrations has been a recurrent theme in my little malfunctioning picture show~
Just an update for the avid viewer...I was in a monogomous relationship for that last year give or take a month....and it was awesome!! He is a great guy and we got along on all levels up until the point of his own life's goals and ambitions....It's an amazing thing to watch someone leap out and take risks in the name of their ultimate ambition.....Nothing is sexier than someone with raw talent and ambition to make a go of things.....This guy had all of that...but he lacked something so fundamental that it smacked us both in the face when it came to the relationship and our shared goals.....He lacked Faith...its pretty incredible acutally to say but in realtiy the death of our relationship was his lack of Faith.....Faith in what is always the next question asked...but I say he just in general was so conditioned to not trusting in things to work out that I couldn't even make religious arguement because his lack of faith was just that profound~
I have never been an overly religious person....actually my disdain for somethings religous regularly piss off the more Evangelical people in my life.....but one thing that is a non-negotiable in my life is faith in God...My fundamental truth is that the Universe will conspire in your favor...now the nature of God I have spent time rambling about that in previous blog postings...but ultimately I am a woman of faith~ So he made poor choices based on his lack of faith and as a result we parted ways.... Sad but I learned a lot and had a great time and someone who was really supportive to help me transition from a dysfunctional mess to a mess in progress~lol~
