Work isn't work.

It has been a very busy past few months. And I can honestly say that I am at an extremely high point in my life. No where near the highest though. I know it will only get harder, but better from here on out. Working in this industry teaches you a whole lot, about yourself, as well as how other people are towards you. Hard work and patience are the key factor on the aspect that you can control. Of course there are many things you can not, and for this I am extremely thankful that I have gotten lucky and have met the right people, at the correct times, and made the best decisions for myself. My work ethic has definitely improved. I never settle for less than  I can achieve, and even then, I know that I can always do better. So to this I say, never settle. Yeah you might have a well paid job, but you can always learn more, be better, be a stronger person on the team. I know I still have a very long and difficult road ahead but I am ready and extremely excited to jump right in to it.
These past months I have worked hard. I received an opportunity and I ran with it. I learned many new skills, met many great people, and have travelled more than I have my entire life. I am loving every minute of it. I understand that there are many people who wish they had the same opportunity that has been presented, and would do anything for my job. That keeps me motivated to work harder.
I am still living at home. But I know that eventually I will be moving out. Hopefully sooner than later. And although I always get stupid remarks like "you said you were leaving months ago, you still here?!, you're not leaving ever, etc" I remain motivated and focused on MY goals. Because I am not doing any of this to impress anyone but myself. The people who actually matter will still be there. Time and distance wont kill a friendship. The people will be the ones who ultimately kill it. And I mean that of both parties. If someone feels like I am not worth their time, maybe they are right. Just like if I feel like they are not worth my time as well. No hard feelings, at least from my side. I understand that we are not meant to keep everyone in our lives forever. It is a never ending lesson. life is beautiful. Life is meant to be enjoyed. It has been hard. Today has marked my very first day in a few months that I did not leave my house at all. It was bitter sweet. It felt great to not have to do anything. But it sucked not having anything to do! My life has turned into this. Sacrifice holidays, family outings, friend outings, and any other 'fun' activity that I use to want to do. But you know what, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know this will help me in the long run. And one day, I can tell people back home how I made it. And the amazing life that I have made for myself. And for those people who truly matter. Slowly, but surely, my life is starting to come together nicely. We are trying to grasp this concept slowly, but life is moving way faster than ever, and I'm just here trying my best to keep up with it. And so far, I am succeeding! Time to make shit happen! Have a great week! It is almost Christmas time! Such a beautiful time of the year! Can't wait to do all the cheesy traditional stuff! Live Life Happy. Peace and One Love.
