I've been calling up friends, and have had some nice long conversation with them. I feel really greatful that I have such wonderful friends that are happy to support me. They helped me realize how wonderful of a person I am, and how much potential I have when I was really depressed. Now they are helping process everything that happening and just trying to be there for me.
I went out with my dad this morning to the gym and I guess have been bonding a little bit through this. He doesn't really express his emotions out like I do (my family isn't very lovey dovey. Never has been), but we've talked about whats happening. This is a huge step forward in our relationship. I mean I got into a fist fight with my dad like a month ago, but now things have taken a 360. There still is a lot more that needs to be done for us to have a good relationship with each other, but that will happen in time.
Interestingly he mention moving to NC. Obviously it probably wouldn't be ideal since we moved to TX from NC 6 years ago, but there could be potential opportinuties there for him. If he ends up getting a job back in the RTP area, it will actually help me out a lot as moving back to NC on my own is going to be a lot more complicated and difficult. So who knows. Just an interesting comment he mention to me.
