Mood:
Last time I forgot to mention that my baby came back home. He won't even go outside anymore. Which is good, I just give him the attention he wants when he wants it, then he goes off on his own and finds a comfortable spot to fall asleep.
Two days ago a ran into an hold friend I hadn't seen in a year. She and I were best friends throughout elementary and jr. high and had kept in touch in highschool until mayber junior year. I then saw her again when we started our first year of college, we hung out a few times, but we each already started our new lives so it wasn't to much like the old days. We eventually lost touch again. I saw her at the local grocery store, just caught up quickly, she's a mom now of a beautiful 8 month old girl. She showed me her picture on her camera phone. I was in total shock, it was hard to comprehend how much can happen in a year. She just let me know that she was living in an apartment nearby and decided not to get married, she felt that if she did she would have two kids (father of the baby) to take care than just one. I was happy for her. She always struck me as a person who takes action and responsibility for herself and does not need anyone to help her. She does have the support and love from her father, but she is the type of person to let herself be independant. She advised me that she was still going to continue school while taking on a full time job, but she knows it will be hard, especially since she can't bare to be away from her daughter to long. I wish her all the best, I know that the next time I see her, she will be the RN nurse she wants to be.
In other news, my love and I are officially together again. My "Nono", which is what I call him (childhood nickname) asked me to be his woman and his only woman on saturday night. He and I had gone to a party which was thrown in his honor (birthday) and stayed out late until maybe 3 or 4 in the morning. When he brought me home he asked if this meant we were a couple again. I just replied that he has been acting like we were for a while now. He then assured me that yes it did. He just let me know he loved me and that he wants to be with me and only me. I can't describe how wonderful that made me feel. I know that we are still young, hell he's only just turned 19 and I'm 20 already going on 21 in two months. I may be older than him, but when I'm around him, I feel like the young one. Despite that we both still have some immaturity, he is the wisest of us both. He is the one who has got me returning to school. He was the one who reminded me that if we want a life together and a good supported household for our children, we both need to have college degrees. I couldn't agree more with him, but my lack of motivation was holding me back. He then helped me realize, hey, if you want to work for people who will give you no respect and won't listen to you then don't go back, but if I want that respect and want to be heard, go back to school and show them that no one will hold you down. He is right. At my old job, which I did enjoy, I was not given respect and my needs were not heard. People left and right were gossiping about eachother, stabbing people in the back. When I went to speak with the vice-president of the company, she assured me she would take care of the problems and address them. She had a month before I left to show me that they were being addressed, but they weren't. Our company meetings were a waste of time, nothing was addressed, no memo was sent out. The problems just progressed and got worse. I wanted to walk out of there dozens of times, but I stayed because I knew I was going to be gone soon, and one day I would have a better life than this. I am glad to be going back to school now, so I won't have to work with unproffesional people ever again. I just know that whenever I feel like I can't do it, all I need to do is remind myself what I could be working with again if I didn't try to continue.
