First of all, I just want to apologize for not being on here as much as I always was before. I've been missing out on all the current events & all the wonderful things that have been happening to everyone. I'm truly sorry! My life has been jam backed full of work, work and more work with very little fun involved. I knew that by taking this new position with my work would be hard and stressful, but I guess I didn't realize just how stressful it can be. The past couple months have been so hard for me and honestly I'm feeling like I'm in a rut. I'm just too young to be like that & it's hard to deal with. I swear I feel like a 67 year old woman instead of almost 27 years old. I've been working my tail off and my body is starting to run out of energy. The stress of it all (so many factors with my work) is really getting to me & it's to the point of having to make a doctors visit because of it. My stomach aches everyday and I just can't seem to get enough sleep. That's my life...work & sleep...and not a thing in between. Hopefully things will get better soon & I can finally lead a "normal" life.
I had an "awakening" this past week. I had met a new guy & we started hanging out. Things are going great between us but he really made me realize how boring my life is. He had asked me what things I like to do in my spare time...and I realized that I don't do anything in my spare time but sleep, worry about work and try to keep up with my everyday things. We had discussed about going out some evening & I had a boat load of excuses....too tired, can't go out because I have to work the next day, too much stuff to do and blah blah blah. Finally, he was just blunt with me (which I appreciated) and said that I need to get a life. Granted that hurt a bit, but the truth always does hurt a bit. So, I bit the bullet and finally had some fun! AND...it felt great to do that for a change! We actually hung out on Sunday of last week, Wednesday night & last night...and we're going out on the town next Wednesday! That's a total shock for my body, but I need to do this for myself. Also it's a plus that he's a great guy who is full of energy and makes me feel "young" again.
I guess my whole point of writing this is to ask how you all have a social life and work hard at the same time? I know it sounds so simple, but it's not that simple for me. I'm looking for that balance and I'm struggling with it. Any advice or suggestions...feel free to be blunt if needed. I appreciate your feedback! Sorry for mini rant...I just am needing to get this off my chest and I thank you all for listening to me.
