REFLECTION OF A YEAR GONE PAST

well tomorrow at 8:15 in the morning i will officially become a quarter of a century years of age. Over this past year a lot of stuff has gone on. I have had a long term relationship end horribly and have begun slowly moving on after beginning to accept that this break up was not my fault but was inevitable that it was going to end. I am taking a year off from college and have moved back home and was working at one job for a couple of months and now starting next week I begin my new job at borders bookstore. I have really grown up a lot in a year and have begun to really understand what it means to be a adult with responsibilities and with trying to live up to my own expectations and not try to live up to anyone else's. I have had my ups and downs and have come through it stronger than I really think I could have. I know that there is still alot of growing and learning to come and it is something that I am looking forward to with an open mind and a willingness to do my best and we shall see what happens.. nobody knows what the future may hold but I hope that it holds that I will continue to be strong, learn, live laugh and love( the last being a who knows) but I am upbeat and looking forward to 8:15

Update

Well lets see what has happened since I last updated in march. I finally got to go to NYC and visit my sister and it was a wonderful trip, a trip of a lifetime to be completely honest. I got to see 2 broadway shows, went backstage after one of them. Got to see my cousins and visit with my sister which is something that I rarely get to do. I mean as we were growing up my sister and I were never really that close, and it wasn't till I think we both graduated high school and moved out and into new directions in our lives that our friendship took a new direction as well . I mean we have always been close with one another (goes with being twins) but yet, I really think as we have grown and matured, our friendship as gotten much stronger which is a very wonderful thing for me, because she is the best big (lil since she is only 4'11") sister in the world. During my visit we had so many times where we would just sit and talk with one another, just talk about our lives, the d...

How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager

photo credit: The Mass Media How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager When the Red Sox hired Alex Cora as their new manager at the end of October, there were many stand out characteristics that the new manager had including his great communication style. But it was his relationships with the players that he was able to form with them that set him apart from the other candidates for the job. Cora who spent 14 years in MLB including 4 with the Red Sox, was able to relate and form relationships with rookies including in 2007 with then-rookie Dustin Pedroia, as well as use his experience to relate to the veteran player like Manny Ramirez. Cora said this at his introductory press conference, about how he views inter-personal relationships with his players, " But you’ve got to care about each other. That’s the most important thing. They’re human beings, man, and you’ve got to talk to them. You’ve got to see ho...

Its Kinda a Funny Story

I first watched this movie a week after my own attempt at ending my life, and it brought alot of what was going on in my life at the time to light and made me actually slowly appreciate the small things in life that I do have. I have a great family, wonderful supportive friends, who care about and maybe even like me in return. After a friend suggested I rent a movie, I went out and rented this movie again and once again it reminded me how precious life is and how I do have a lot going for me even though sometime I may feel like I don't have a lot going and that my life is in upheaval, that I know that things have a way of working out and that I just need to balance myself between pushing myself to go after what I want and to be patient and letting things come to me.
