Y'all know that these randomness posts are a snapshot into my head, right? Imagine a hundred people shouting various things your direction - I feel like that's where I'm at right now. Perhaps I should look into meditating and quieting my busy self down, huh? Here's what is happening in the very average life of Kris.
Thursday was one year since my divorce finalized. How is that even possible? A full year. It's been a year and a half since we separated. In some ways, it feels like forever ago. In others, it feels like yesterday. Between that date, the pending sale of my home in Tennessee, and PMSing like a mofo, I was an emotional wreck last week. All the feels. All of them. I'm good, he's good, but it's still a divorce, and that is a sad thing no matter what the circumstances were. Two weeks ago someone at work gave me some great advice. He told me that failing was inevitable, but there are two rules to remember when it happens: fail quickly, and learn from it. That's certainly advice that can be applied to life in general. Though I can't change the past, I can make sure that I take all of the lessons I've learned (so, so SO many) and apply them going forward.
I kindof want to write something worthwhile. Something bigger.
Speaking of things I adore - this guy, y'all. He's the sweetest. That is all.
Oh wait, that is NOT all. Can we talk about the term "boyfriend" real quick? So we've been dating for almost 7 months now. I'm pretty sure that term is appropriate at this point, but it makes me feel like a 15-year old high-schooler with braces and pigtails. I get it. That's the acceptable term, and adults everywhere are using it. Can we universally come up with a grown-up term for "boyfriend"? When we do, let's PSA the heck out of it. In the meantime, I will continue to blush any time that I need to use that phrase.
I've been thinking quite a bit about my career lately. Am I doing it because I'm comfortable there? Because I'm scared to go somewhere else or try something new? Because I'm passionate about it? I'm not sure what the answers to those questions are, but I think they are good questions to ask myself and think about. Lots of thinking about my future. Not in an overwhelming OMG I HAVE TO PLAN kindof way; just...thinking.
I have the travel bug. I want to go everywhere and see absolutely everything. There is such a great big world, and I *need* to explore it. I'm trying to travel somewhere overseas for my birthday in October. I'm not sure where yet, though Germany has been tossed around recently. I'd also love to go on a mission trip at some point. I'd love to be involved in building orphanages, or teaching children, or something to that effect. I'm not ready to adopt quite yet, so in the meantime, I need to find some other ways to be involved. I'd like to sponsor a child, too. I did some research a couple of years ago, and definitely have some organizations in mind, but haven't actually pushed the button. If I can't help all of the children, maybe helping one would make a difference for now. Once my house sells, that will be my first order of business.
I have so many more things going on in my head, but I've gotta make lunch for tomorrow, so I'm out for tonight. Let's all brace ourselves for Monday, shall we?
