need to make some decisions

Posted in General at 10:26 am by Paloma Cruz

Personally, I hate change. I hate having to move apartments. I hate looking for a new job, starting a new job. I hate having to reaccustom myself to new practices and habits.

I am a creature of habit. I like continuity.

I guess, really, I’m not unlike everyone else. We all like some safety, security, continuance in our lives. If everything changed all the time, I think many of us would be unhappy.

Having said that, I know that I need to make some hard decisions that will effect change in my life. One is about my job, my career. One is about where I live, my life as a renter. One is about long-term goals. One is about personal happiness.

I don’t wanna! ;-)

Truthfully, just the thought of making these decisions is making me tired. I don’t want to be the adult. In fact, if someone else could take responsibility for a few days, that would be great.

{{sigh}}

That’s not true, I know. If someone else were trying to make decisions for me, I’d hit the roof. I’m not happy without independence. However, sometimes I do wish that weren’t the case.

I’ll let you know, at another time, what the decisions are and what my decisions will be. For now, I’m going to ponder.

“They attacked us today. A mortar hit about 30 feet from where I sleep,” my brother wrote to me recently. “I slept through the whole thing.”

Only him…
