Clean slate

Well, today is the official start of our vacation! We fly to the west coast tomorrow afternoon and don't return to the windy city until next Monday. Let's just say I'm completely stoked and won't want it to end when it finally does. Isn't that how it always works out? This vacation has also made me realize a few things. 1.) How much I dislike the company I currently work for, 2.) How much I love the west coast, and 3.) I toss around the word 'friend' too lightly.

Touching on point three: I seem to call people “friends” who really don't do anything to deserve that title. Perhaps I'm hanging on to something that isn't there. I have a hard time letting go, when it comes to people going their separate ways. Other times, I feel as though I give my all by trying to stay in contact with people, but I never hear anything back. Again, take the hint, right Jenn? Maybe I'm not making good quality friends in the first place. Who knows. Regardless, sometimes some things happen that allow you to see where you really stand, and in a way, it's really refreshing. There's no bother anymore, and you can save yourself a bunch of energy because you know where you're at with the situation. The problem with me is, I don't have a lot of friends. I'm far from a socialite (is that a real word?), so the people I do deem as friends I hold pretty close. Maybe I just use the term loosely. Regardless, it's my vacation. I plan to go out west and have fun and see old friends and maybe make new ones. I plan to come back refreshed and relaxed! I might post some pictures while on my trip, who knows. See you when I get back!
