after some harsh criticism from a friend (not sure if he actually qualifies as a friend, but anyway..) in addition to his not so eliquently put advice, i've decided to actually listen to him. i heard him out, processed, responded, listened more, disagreed here and there, and ultimately decided to try follow his words. and although his words were at times blunt and borderline insulting, i think he was actually attempting to be sincere and give his god honest opinion to my situation and respond to my feelings the best way he knows how.
so in an effort to make a change and find a hobby, i ventured out today and purchased art supplies. i've decided to take up drawing again and see if i still have a slight passion for it or any skill left. i've also made small contact with those who i've been not so pleased with lately, as my friend thinks this will also help my situation. tomorrow i had planned to take step three by starting to read a book as part of his advice too, but this will have to be postpone for now since something came up that is more of a priority in need of my attention (i got rear-ended by another car and need to get estimates done).
im also going to take the initiative to do the things i want, when i want to. and i want to hang out with my family video people and make a vacation of it. so sometime in early to mid november im planning a get together with famvid-ers in lax to hang out, party, hotel, etc.
even though i may have cried during my "heart to heart" with my kinda-friend, i am going to try to take the opposite path in life i was heading down and stay positive as best as i can...for now.
:-) everything happens for a reason...i just need to not worry so much about any of it and just live life and enjoy it....and trust in that!
