So uhh....feeling lonely?

Yes I know I know, I haven't updated. I'm a terrible person what can I say. Life can be hectic ya know? Good, but hectic. Oh, and stressful too! Damn.

Sometimes (most of the time) I wish I was a kid again so I wouldn't have a schedule and responsibilities and all this adult crap. But I happen to be one of the lucky ones though, I have a loving person to help me get through it all. Which, brings me to another topic. One of the kindest people on earth, who happens to be my very good friend, had a tragic life event - her fiance died. I don't even have the words to say what I feel about that. I just want to say that my heart goes out to her, and I hope she pulls through this. Can you imagine? I sure can't.

It's funny that in one of my classes we actually practiced being empathetic; but I learned a long time ago to always try to put yourself in some one else's shoes to see things from their point of view. Now I never said I do this all the time or that I'm good at it, I'm just saying I know it's very important to not go through life thinking the world revolves around you, and that your actions and words don't affect others.

I like to think that is one thing every person has in common - we all want to feel connected to others in some way, so we try to feel what they feel. And in doing so, we give ourselves a sense of being "normal." Of course this doesn't apply to say...hermits for example.

I'm so ready for this vacation. I read an article last week about how countries differ in the amount of vacation they take. Americans are some of the most overworked people out there.

well I had a lot more stuff to write about, but I'm tired, and it's late...or early if you want to look at it another way. At least I'm excited about getting a hair cut tomorrow.
Don't you love my train of thought?
