But That Was a Million Years Ago

Adele's new album basically has a song for everything in my life. It's pretty crazy how I've listened to that CD on countless occasions and then one song finally hits a nerve you need it to. But, I guess that's how it usually works with songs. I've seen a quote on Facebook that says something like "When you're happy you enjoy the song. When you're sad you understand the lyrics." The song, Million Years Ago, was just everything tonight.

The line I love the most is " Sometimes I just feel it's only me Who never became who they thought they'd be."  


My life isn't anywhere close to what I thought it would be. I'm still searching for a grown up job around Birmingham. I wanted to already have my professional career underway, and I'm still working part time at a grocery store. Honestly, it's not the worst situation I could be in. I love most of my coworkers. They are some of the greatest people I've ever met. Often times they make my day better. But, in a perfect world I would have already gotten a job and be living in a great apartment. If it were easy it wouldn't be rewarding. Whether I have to move to Oklahoma in May or not...I'll learn from this experience and apply that knowledge to the rest of my life. 

When I look back at the last few years...who I was 5 years ago is a completely different person than I am today. I'm so glad I'm not that person anymore. She was annoying. Some say I'm still annoying...but I'd like to think that if you know me, the real me, you know that my peppy (or mildly annoying self) isn't the real me. It's just the part of me I let most see...to keep people at a safe distance. One of the people at work asked me if I was ever serious...obviously he doesn't know the real me. I feel like most of the time I'm too serious. So, I act goofy and silly and try to keep a smile on my face at work. You have to mix it up, right? 

I have to take one day at a time...and hope and pray that I'm able to move forward with my life without too much damage. 

I love you all like mad. I'll talk to you soon!
