Little life update...
I tell myself I'll be good at maintaining a blog - but then things just seem to happen and I get distracted. I don't really know any other way to put that. It's not that my blog isn't important to me, it's just something that always gets put on the back burner. Despite the fact that it may only take 5 minutes to update a day... that's 5 minutes I could be doing something else.
Lately I feel like I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Between work and school and trying to find an apartment within a reasonable price range and distant from where I need to be is excruciatingly harder than I thought it would be. I never once expected that I would be punished real estate wise for being a student. That is most definitely the case in Portland though. 95% of the "income restricted" properties do not allow full time students, regardless of whether or not they're working while attending school just like a non-student. I'm not really sure I agree with the way that it's run, but I'm not entirely sure that it matters whether or not I do.
Moving on...
What sparked my interest in updating my blog tonight was something that's been going on with a few of my friends here lately. Relationship catastrophe.
College can be a really trying time with creating and nurturing relationships and sometimes just having no choice but to let them fail. What drives me crazy is that people blame themselves for it. Sometimes two people just aren't good together and sometimes people just aren't ready to take that next step. I don't see the point in blaming yourself and feeling sorry for something that may or may not have been worth it in the end. If someone can't accept you or love you for you? Fuck them. That isn't your fault and it sure as hell doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. It just means you don't click with this one person. One person out of what? Seven-something-billion? If finding someone is that big of a deal you have to be willing to take the set backs with the triumphs.
Love isn't easy for everyone to find... but when you find it - it's worth it.
