Peace, meet Resentment...he was just leaving
This summer I have tried to embrace change, the embrace turned into more of a type of angry squeeze which turned into a vicious and repeated thwaking.
Apparently I only intended to embrace change on my terms, and my terms did not include working retail for this long and did include bunches and bunches of new fun friends to play with...neither of which has seemingly happened.
However, my expectations of this particular change in my life were wrong, and this made me bitter...and that's not anyone's fault but my own.
True, my current job is not what I had in mind for my life....but my life's not over yet.
Yes, I don't have the kind of friends that I had in college or at camp, but I am developing groovy other relationships with Jeremy's family and my co-workers that I wouldn't have had the chance to do unless things worked out the way they did this summer.
Unfortunately it's also true that I'm going to go say goodbye to one of my few old friends that are actually in this area tonight, but God has fabulous plans for his life and it would be really dumb for him not to take this opportunity.
Peace is a choice...and a blessing, thanks to anybody that's said a prayer for me to realize that this summer.

I wandered over here and apparently, it was meant to happen. What you have discovered this summer is exactly what I needed to hear. So, thank you!
p.s. its looking like I might be joining the twin cities community come January.
