Goodness.
I'm really proud of myself.
like 4 months ago, and for most of my life before that, I was in a constant state of panic. Overly, constantly anxious.
Today, I was a little emotional. I just thought about how much I love Deepak and how much I'll miss having him always within arm's reach. And how much everything he does for me matters. I've never had anyone do so much for me. He and his whole family have like picked me up and pushed me in the right direction. Teaching me how to drive and cook, and just helping me grow up over all. Their family is so big, it's like a miniature society, and I love all of them, and being a part of them.
And things are just falling into place for me. Magically. Within a week, I found a place to live, I found a starbucks to transfer to, and I was gifted with a motherfucking laptop! My 20 year old, biochem major, stariving ass student best friend in the ENTIRE world, whom I also happen to LOVE, got me a freaking laptop. And yeah, it's not like it's a spanking new Mac, but I'm never giving that thing up.
Now all I gotta find is a car, and take my driving test. If i don't pass it this time, I have to start ALL over again. permit and driving test, plus the 293572983759283 hassles that go with it. So, I'm passing that shit! How do you fail? You bump into anything with your car or break any driving laws? I just have to be hyper-vigilant about using my blinker. and be extremely obvious about looking at my mirrors and blind spots. And be overly aware of the speed limits and bike lanes and.......stop for like 20 minutes at the stop signs. and take turns verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly. I mean, if I fail I might shoot myself because it would mean I was a horribly pathetic person :(
I want to do something really sweet and amazing for deepak's family. but I dunno what really...thier dad is like my uncle-- not really concerned with gifts that cost money. he doesn't want anything that isn't 100% useful. he doesn't really want to be taken out to dinner. I thought to bake cakes non stop and paint some nice still lifes and write a nice note. Seriously, they've basically like adopted me.
I cried when deepak gave me a laptop! I almost cried again today cause I was thinking about how amazing everything has been. I had to bury my face into deepak's tummy and gather all the sensory info that I could. i dunno I'm less anxious but not less crazy. there's just something about skin on skin contact that is calming. like, ok, he's here. I know this person, they're here, I'll rememeber this feeling later.
You know, even though I found another sbux job, I was getting pretty interested in finding a totally different job. Like at Urban Outfitters or something. I'm not sure I'm cool enough for that though. I mean, I don't look like a really awesomely cool street kid who is deep and knows the meaning of life because I've smoked crack out of a cat's asshole. Or something. ........
It would be a nice change of pace. I'll still apply for on campus jobs and see if i can get something more sociological.
I mean. Life is all about proactivity. I can freak out and think the world is ending because life isn't set up in a way where i won't have to lift a finger and it'll be awesome. Or I can set goals and decide what i want and not only hope for that but make as many back up plans as possible. Like, I wanted to live on campus and just eat cafeteria food and live with 20 something year old kids with more than likely half my maturity level. But that didn't work out so I panicked for like 20 minutes and debated over going into hella debt, or just toughing it out and paying rent off campus while living in a teepee with strangers. BUT THEN my uncle told me I have realtives who live down the street from school and I can just chill with two old people who have hella tats and pay 100 bucks a month for not only my own room, but my own bathroom too!
AND I freaked out cause I called every starbucks on the planet and no one wanted me, so I started job hunting downtown, only to be called a few days later and finding out I'd be on the SCHEDULE at a store in capitola.
And then I realized I was just about broke and had money for nothing but a car, when my boyfriend shows up with a laptop and I have all the tons and tons of weight lifted off my shoulders.
Also, I have another car prospect, that I'm hoping to who know's what it will pan out. And if it does, I'd get the car for a steal and will just have to worry about a few little things to maintain and a big ass dent to bang out. PLUS, I won't even have to deal with it! Deepak and his dad will do free labor on my car, and I'll just have to buy the parts and thank them for the rest of my life.
GODDAMN.
I'm really lucky that things are just working out so well. I just have a few more details to figure out. Within a few more weeks I'll be in a total different place in life. And I know that with everything we have been through and done for each other, and everything we've said and we feel and know and mean, that a few miles and some homework won't be a thing. I seriously could try to imagine the future, but I never think of anything half as good as it actually turns out. there is way too much to life to be able to speculate. there are too many possibilities and I have no idea what any of them will really be like. I mean, 6 months ago, I was lightyears away from where I am now. I was crying over tiny worries. I wasn't worried about real problems, much less dealing with them. And when I have actual important things to deal with, I don't have time to play out dramas in my own head.
I'm straight GROWING UP. and doing things with my life. adult things. like fucking writing checks!
dayum. I'm gonna call dr kline tomorrow at work and schedule a last meeting. I want to show him how far I've come. and how infinitely better I'm doing. I think he'll be really happy for me.
Maybe by the end of tomorrow I'll even have a car! who knows! |
