Hodgepodge

    I've been putting off writing anything for the past week. I'm not really sure why; maybe I was scared of everything running through my mind or simply too caught up in my busy schedule to care much. Either way, this is a collection of (almost) everything I've been considering lately. 

Two Weeks Notice

    I put my notice of resignation in at both Camp Bow Wow and the vet practice last Wednesday. It was possibly one of the toughest things I've had to do. I've never quit a job before... except for the 3 I held when I graduated and left Tampa. I love Camp Bow Wow, but it no longer had anything to offer me and I couldn't bear to stick around any longer with failure in my face. The vet practice has honestly become home to me, but I need to grow. The practice is so small that there is little room to budge at this point. 

    I was nervous; I still am. I'm nervous that my relationships with my coworkers will change for the worse; that I'll regret my decision; that my future isn't as bright as I think it is. 

    I'm scared. 

What I Would Tell My Teenage Self About Sex

    Hey! You see that guy over there? Walk away!! He's super cute and you think he's funny... for now. I can already tell you what happens. 

    You met him at the store when you ran him over with your shopping cart because you were far too interested in staring at soup cans to watch where you were walking. You laughed so hard you couldn't talk. Eventually, you managed a few words and the two of you exchanged numbers. He was the first person to make you feel special and important, and so the trap was set. 

    You end up sleeping with him way too soon and for reasons you'll never understand. Afterwards, you start to think he isn't as funny.. or as nice.. or anything like you thought he was when you met him. Every little thing he does is annoying and upsetting. You find yourself in a depressive state, desperately trying to grab the small shred of what you think is left between you. You spend an entire year forcing yourself to love him because you think that's how it's supposed to be. 

    My point is.... don't do it. Just walk away now. You're gonna hate yourself for what you let happen. Trust me. 

2013

    First of all, my dog's resolution seems to be sleeping more considering he's been asleep since 7pm yesterday!

    I stopped making resolutions... because they simply became promises I subconsciously designed with the purpose of being broken. The number change means nothing to me, although I do have a new start at a new job. Hopefully, things will get better and I won't be stuck in the same spot a year from now. 

I'm Sorry...

    ...for everything.
