the washboard

Hello again. Man I've gotten so bad at writing in this which makes me so sad because I love it.
I feel like so much has been going on that I wanted to write about but my mind is all staticky right now.
(Yes staticky is a word- I looked it up I promise.)

First order of business: I finally have a place in salt lake!
I made the decision to do away with roommates and I found the perfect place to try this whole living alone thing out.
I have a two bedroom place in a 4-plex up in the avenues. Now the place is a bit old and has some wear and tear but it has a lot of charm and potential! I am just in love with it.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make the most of the space though. Perhaps I'll put some pictures up and you lovely people can tell me what you think and maybe give me some thoughts on what to do with it...

Second order of business: Unwanted weeding.
I feel like every year I go through a period of losing people that I was close to. Not in a physical sense but in an emotional one. I feel like it's always out of my control and it's a hard thing for me. Well, I've just been through it again but this time there was something different about it. I think maybe I'm finally starting to grow up because in the recent dilemma I did my best to stand my ground and accepted the situation for what it is. I had to let this person go, they needed to figure life for themself and I needed to let go in order to remain my true self. What I've taken from this experience is that you have to let some things fall apart in order to allow other things to build up and grow. Life is just like a washboard sometimes- you have to wash some stains away sometimes to see things for what they truly are.


Well, that's enough rambling for today.
