I love my new job. My boss and I get along really well. I'm basically a glorified receptionist, since all I have to do is answer the phone, greet clients, and organize files. It's a much more positive environment too since everyone else who works there enjoys it.
In other words, what's the point of beating yourself up over things when you can just let... them... go...

Reading used to be one of my favorite activities but now I'm addicted to the internet. Recently I read an article about how Google is making us ADHD and reducing attention spans. That doesn't surprise me because I have found it very difficult to sit down and read a book. Sometimes I notice myself clicking on my toolbar links repeatedly like a caged rat.
My boyfriend is a huge HST aficionado and so are many of his friends, so they amuse themselves sending each other random newspaper clippings, essays on random shit, and pictures. I am actually really jealous because my friends aren't intellectual like his and aren't into this sort of thing. Sort of like the whole 'tape' retro technology thing, snail mail instead of email.
So what did I do? I bought myself a Moleskine. LOL I am going to write things to myself. I miss writing and playing with words. College is so stressful that I really lost the ability to read and write for pleasure. It's small enough to keep in my purse too so I will be able to keep it with me so I am prepared when inspiration strikes!

Life is a whirlwind, only more chaotic it seems. I quit my job, without getting a new one, and this awesome job fell right into my lap only 10 days later. Things were so dark during those 10 days and I really let them get to me. It's silly, because life is cyclical. At the time, it felt as though that horrible job was stretching out into infinity - as if having worked there for a mere 6 weeks, I was somehow tainted for life but the social injustice being committed. Now I am helping to save people's money, albeit indirectly. Still, I know that I am contributing to a cause that is overall positive in the world.
Lesson learned - LIVE IN THE MOMENT
