With August almost over, many things are soon to change. Seasons, weather, plans, emotions, clothes and many more things. I remember looking towards for this summer with many high hopes and great intentions. It was planned to be better than any other past summers. With the exception of a few days in this wonderful summer, not much has been for filled. All was planned out well. Not one flaw. All I would have to do is sit back and enjoy the hot days of summer. Plans like take a road trip out to the mid west, Go down to Florida and see my family members. Work every day of the summer and make good money. Go out every weekend or when I could and meet people. Have my own apartment and throw a awesome house warming party. The usual 22 year old activities I would say, But life does not happen the way you want it to work. I can’t pin point where things went wrong, but I surely know not much has been accomplished.
Do not get me wrong this summer I tried making it work, but there were just some small details that made things difficult for me. The fact that I have been looking for a job for a very long time. Not just a regular job, but a job I would like to wake up in the morning and say I am very excited to go to work today. I have a lot of friends and family telling me that things will be better or you will find something don’t feel bad. Truth of the matter is i have not found nothing. I thank there support, but a pat on the back sometimes just does not help it. I have also had a few hands reach out towards me and I can say one fell through well, another had bad communication and all the other look outs never made it anywhere far. I try every day but i guess i am doing something wrong.
As for other plans like meeting new people, going on trips and moving out. most of these where well executed. I love meeting new people and just talking and finding out more about that person. I tried to go out when I was able to go out. Even when I did not have the means to go out I still went out. I met a few characters along the way. I also give out my info to people to call me up and hang out with me. Some actually came through. I hate being lied to. If you have no intentions of hanging out with me why ask for my info. I only have a hand full of friends that are a guaranteed call away. As for moving out and going on trips, some where done but locally. Moving out will have to wait. With the situation that I am in, I am bound to live here for ever. I know i have to change my ways, but when no one is giving you the opportunity to work how can I.
Now that august is almost over I realize all the stuff that I have done and it wasn’t to bad. Yeah I can complain about the stuff i was not able to do, But some plans where done in a low budget manner. Would I would I trade this summer fr a better summer ? Probably. Even though not much was done I still think this summer was some what enjoyable. Much of the things I have done these past few month was very unexpected. I Like random days and night. Makes life a bit more interesting. Well as much I bitch and moan about my life I gotta stay positive and focus on the task at hand. That task is finding a job. Once I get one of those I hope everything turns out better for me. I always try to make any situation go from bad to good. I think I am doing a good at it so far.
As a closer for my thoughts. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Take it easy and do not get to comfortable with it. Remember all good things must come to an end, but always remember there is always something out there waiting for you.
Tomorrow is a new day !!!
