Quiet

It's evening. It's quiet.
At my side, my boyfriend is sleeping, weary from a long day at work and an oncoming cold. I gave it to him (the cold). Poor guy.

I love the quiet. Quiet mornings, quiet evenings. Today has been a good day for reflection and calming my spirit. I have been stressed and sick, but today has been good. I have a warm cup of tea in hand (when not typing), and the only sound to be heard is the soft breath of my Love sleeping.

I don't know why I chose to write this evening. It just seemed like the right thing to do, especially since I haven't updated in a while. So, I suppose you should brace yourself for some random thoughts:


After more than a year of searching, I finally got an interview for a second job. And it's not just any job, it's a job that I really really really want - barista!!!

I have a list of 100 life goals. I will not post them here today. Many of them involve experiencing other cultures and seeing other parts of the world. Some of them are silly. Some of them I may never know if I actually achieve. That's okay. One of them is to wake up next to someone I love. I've checked that one off the list. In fact, I wake up next to him every morning. It's pretty much one of the most awesome (if not the most awesome) things I get to experience every day. :o)

I am still unsure of my future career path. What I will study in grad school is still a mystery to me, though I think at least I am sure I want to go. I miss school, and I am certainly not done learning. Meanwhile, I am working, loving, living. Doing my best to be myself, if I even know what myself is. I am at least trying to be what I think myself is.

I don't know what else to write. This night is nice. Thanks for letting me share. I'm going to finish my tea and do some math now.
