Smitten

I've been swept off my feet...

Not just by anyone, but by one of my best friends.

And it is amazing. He is amazing. It all makes me incredibly happy.

So much to look forward to..

November has the best weather..

December holds the best parties..

And January will hold the best adventure.

24 hours later

Things are way better already..

Still in debt, neck's still out..

But, generally happy disposition.

=)

And just like that things are starting to look up.

I just found a pay cheque that I hadn't banked yet. sweeeeet.

Now I might lie in bed and watched some TV for the first time in months, wake up fresh tomorrow.

A week's worth of whinging credits all in one blog.

So stuff sucks a tad at the moment.

I have a pile of bills worth more than my current bank balance- meaning my savings for Asia have taken a massive decline and my credit card is about to be hit hard.

I put my neck out, and it's hurting. Chiropractor later in the week if it doesn't improve tomorrow.

My lecturer failed me by 2 marks- after much discussion she gave me 50%- meaning I am just scraping in for a pass.. stressed.

I've lost my passion with work and it's showing.

My living circumstances will be completely different again in about a month- stress.

And a little bummed about other stuff. Nothing massive, but just hasn't helped this week...

I only write a blog like this for me to reflect on. In a week's time, or a month, I will probably read over this, laugh and be glad things are going smoother.. .

Sydneysider

So I spent the last three weeks away in Sydney. Really loved it.

honest thought from an honest girl.

You could say my new years resolution came a little late this year. Well, I don't know what else to call it, but I set a deal with myself a couple of months ago to try and challenge myself.

I think a weak area of my personality is my lack of honesty. Not that I lie- I hate liars- but I think we all avoid the truth from time to time.

We're brought up being taught to be honest. We're also told not to offend others and ALWAYS be considerate of other's feelings. So which of the two takes priority? Because, the way I see it, these two quite often clash.

I believe we become more caught up in protecting others from getting hurt, that the truth takes the back seat and consideration rides shot gun.

So my challenge to myself was to be completely and utterly honest. This doesn't mean telling someone if I don't like them or outright offending people, but, just to put myself and my thoughts out there a little more.

And you know what? It's really liberating. I have never been happier. It's been a hard challenge. At times I've felt sick in the stomach before making phone calls, having heavy conversations- but, I feel the people around me are getting to know me better- and I am knowing myself. When we lie/avoid the truth with others, I think we often lie to ourselves. Agree?
