Two Things I’ve Learned
Whether you can see it or not,
1. Everyone is just as full of pain and confusion as the person standing next to them.
2. Everyone is on a spiritual journey.
It’s okay, my glass is always half full.
Remember last time I said I don't share my food?
- During lunch, the other intern reaches over to take a chip out of my bag. I am planning on saving my food so I can eat it for dinner later. I let her take the damn chip. But the second time I take my bag away as she reaches over. She smirks at me and I hand her one chip. She stops looking at my bag. After the meeting she says to me
- Her: You're still young.
- Me: Excuse me?
- Her: You're still young. In China when when eat we share our food because its polite. Americans don't do that, and you're the first person I know who doesn't share their food.
- Me: Um, I definitely do share my food, but not when someone takes it from me. I offer my food, you didn't even ask me.
- Her: You need to be more flexible.
- Me: Seriously? We're talking about food right?
- She had already walked away.

Perfect, I did need a way to excersise my telephathic skills. Now give it a couple years of practice and we’ll be able to communicate without this device!
I miss him.
Sometimes I forget where we came from and what brought us together and I start dwelling on the current, which is never really perfect for me anyways.
He is perfect, but life isn’t. And when I choose to begin living in the present, I remind myself of how unperfect it really is. Such as the fact that my dad and I aren’t talking, such as the fact that I’m scared of taking a career risk that I’ve been preparing for for a month now, or such as the fact that my perfect man is not here next to me.
I complain about a lot of things when I’m not happy, it’s how I cope. But it’s a problem when I can’t even have a conversation with my loved ones without becoming frustrated that something small isn’t going the way I wanted it to. I miss him, and if I was next to him, instead of expressing myself in words like I always do, I could hug him, kiss him, and in an instant, all of that anxiety goes away.
If you ask me, I’d rather keep living in the future.
I think we will want all of these analog worlds subtly augmented by interesting ways to connect our digital and analog lives.(Jay)
Not all who wander are lost.
Tomorrow my boss is going to talk to me about the rest of my schedule here at my internship. I have approximately two weeks left and if I want to request an extension to finish up a few projects, I could certainly do so.
I’ve been going back and forth with what my next options could be after this internship, whether it is an extension, asking for a job, or applying to other places in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, etc. But to be completely honest….there is a new project, or should I say, projects, that has come up, located in Savannah, It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and whether it works out or not, I will regret it if I don’t try.
I’m going to be an entrepeneur people.
So I SURE hope my job doesn’t offer me a full-time position. At this point it would be highly unlikely, I’m not sure how professional it is to wait until the very last day to tell someone that you’re interested in hiring them, when that someone might not have a place to stay or God forbid that someone had other plans. I just hope that they enjoyed working with me, I tried my best, and I had such a good time.
Currently reading, finally: The Inmates Are Running The Asylum. Pretty good book. I couldn’t put it down this past weekend, almost done though. Then I’ll move on to my design business books I just bought from Amazon. Drool.
I deleted my facebook too.
Watch. I bet this means I’ll start blogging more.
