Being away from home is never easy. I grew up relying on family for anything and everything, and I still live that way to this day. I'm fortunate enough to have parents and a brother and sister who would do anything for me. Being away from them does take a toll on me at times, and this is one of those times.
I can't stand having uncertainty in my life. I like to be in control of all that I do and right now, uncertainty seems to be taking over. Will I get the job I want for next year? Where will I be at two weeks from now? These things seem to be out of my hands and, while I'm usually good at keeping my cool or at least coming across as being fine, I don't feel like I'm fine. Unfortunately, I'm letting it all get to me. I'm trying to be productive.....it gets tough at times, though.
Like I mentioned earlier, my family are the ones who I go to for anything. Regardless of how lonely I feel or how stressed out I get being out here, I do take comfort in knowing I always have family.
I don't really have a message I'm trying to send with this entry. I know I tend to ramble at times. I just needed to vent a little and put some thoughts down. If I had to give out some advice with this post, I would tell people to make sure they keep their family close. There is nothing more important.....keep them close and make sure to appreciate all that they do for you.
With that being said, I would like to give my own thanks. I feel we don't always let people know that we appreciate them. So, to my Nicy and my Pepe, I appreciate all that you two have done and continue to do. Shout out to my parents as well, even though they don't read this.
P.S. Get at me Nicy...I need some words of encouragement.

Wise words from your favorite:
ReplyDeleteI hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''
It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
What keeps me going is goals.
He IS the man. And so are you!
My brother - I have learned that most things, are not the end of the world. Even when it seems like they are, we somehow manage to survive. It's an amazing thing ... we mere mortals can survive almost anything. I'm sorry you are going through a tough time, but honestly, at least it is for a wonderful reason. If you were just going through crap for the sake of crap, well that would suck. But YOU, well you are going through this so you can graduate from your dream school and be somebody. In my eyes, you already are somebody (somebody super special), but you know what I mean. So keep your head up. Remember that we Durans come from a strong breed. We are tough. We are fighters. We care about the world and nothing will keep us down. I'm here for you. And don't let the little pebbles in your life overshadow the mountains you have to climb. Remember, the victory is so much sweeter when the fight has gone into the twelfth round. So keep punching Johnny Tsunami. Keep punching ... I love you.
