Aside from my immediate family, the people I love most live on the other side of the country or on another continent. I’m saving so that I can buy a home; until then, I’m living with my parents. That in itself takes a toll on having any kind of a satisfactory social life. (They aren’t conducive to guests, guys or girls.) I could do more away from home except for this thing called a job, which is taking up most of my time so that I can buy a home…sooner rather than later. This job leaves me exhausted by the end of the day. The rest of my time is spent playing catch up with sleep, hygiene, errands and other time-consuming interests (mainly writing). I’m up for 4 12-hour shifts starting tomorrow – meaning I won’t be doing anything other than work and sleep until next Tuesday.
I’m trying to make running a regular part of my life. I’ve found it nearly impossible to do so on the days I work, and its hard to have a semblance of a routine with 3 days off a week that invariably change from week to week.
I want to pursue interests, not only for their sake alone but also to be able to meet others (ahem – both guys and girls) with those same interests. I’m tired of these very superficial local acquaintances I have right now.
I’m tired of being tired with the life I’m leading. I need to shake things up. I’ll get started on that…Tuesday.
