Yeah Tommy, I hear you on the wanting to do something and not wasting money thing. What job are you getting (or attempting to get)? You've already mentioned taking a test so I assume you're pretty close to landing it?
I don't want to mention the field of work as it is somewhat specialized, and if someone knowing me were to read this it would be a dead giveaway.
I have to email some contact info to them tomorrow, so I might say that I will follow-up with them a day later than mentioned because New Years plans suddenly came about that will keep me from home til the middle of next week. It's really still the beginning stages of getting hired, but after my got my degree pretty much every company hiring in my field required the particular course in order to be considered for hiring. Now that I have it done, I don't have that holding me back.
That bundle that I got 2 weeks ago was what really made me realize how it's not fun anymore, and I barely enjoyed getting high after the second day. It's time for me to get back out there while I still look decent, and if I don't now, it may be too late by the time I finally would straighten out if I had continued getting high on the reg.
I miss having the freedom that I had when I was 19, and I don't just mean having less worries/responsibilities. I mean that when I was younger, I had a lot more money, a nice car, and a better social life than now. I've been going in the wrong direction by having less money, and a worse vehicle situation than back then. As far as the social aspect, I know that most people settle down with the social partying by their mid 20's, but I had gone from very social to barely social, and it was really getting to me. I've been getting out more, but have been turning down opportunities to chill with girls due to low funds, so I'm hoping that will change very soon. I don't have far to go, I'm still "in the loop" with a decent amount of people, but they know my cash situation so haven't been calling me to do things that they know I can't afford to do atm.
I made a lot of sacrifices and I put in a lot of hours of hard school work to get where I am now, so it would be stupid to throw that all away by getting deep into the scene again. Between August and October I was going pretty strong in terms of doing dope, but I have slowed it down a lot over the past two months, so now is the perfect time to step away.
Tomorrow is a new year.
