Turn on the bright lights:
My apartment is a fucking mess. I'm so busy at work that I'm too tired to clean or even unpack from my trip when I get home. In fact, I worked from home yesterday, but I had so much to do that I actually worked OVERTIME instead of taking frequent breaks to get shit done like I normally do. I'm still coughing. I'm completely disorganized and I keep losing stuff and forgetting things.
But I've never been happier in my entire life.
Everything is fucking amazing. Work is busy, but there are so many good things going on there, so many interesting projects and potential for new ones, that it's really fulfilling. I networked my ass off at the conference last week and got some potential side gigs writing articles and practice tests, as well.
My creative outlets are equally en fuego - when I was in Providence I shot a couple of rolls of film, which I'm really excited about because I haven't gone out shooting in a while and I've spent some time studying my existing work and refining my technique, so I'm really excited to see how they turned out. And I'm going to be in a group show this summer with some totally fucking amazing artists in an awesome project that I'm really excited about.
My personal life is incredible as well. I reconnected with a lot of friends and made a few new ones when I was on the east coast, and I realized that I am a really fortunate person - my friends are all incredible people, in so many different ways, and I am so glad I know all of them. Some of them live close by, some of them live too far away; I see some of them often, and some once every couple of years; I talk to some daily and some annually. I wish I could see more of them more often, but I'm happy that I know each and every one of them.
Some of my friends are having some really serious problems right now, though, and I'm worried about them; I am just going to be there to listen to them and let them all vent to me, and hopefully I can help them get through their rough times. I'm glad I've actually been through what they're all going through (difficult adolescence, dealing with death of loved ones), because I can at least give them hope that it's not going to suck this much forever, and they can heal and move on in time. I really love my friends, and I want to help them any way I can.
We will discontinue this extra-sappy after school special and return to your regularly scheduled programming of snark and vitriol after a few words from our sponsors.
