Where have I been?

For many I am omnipresent, it's like I never left. For most, I've fallen off the face of the earth. The drawback to 2nd shift is the socialization that could normally be spread throughout the week must be condensed.

Also I'll admit, I've been selfish. I've made the conscious decision to focus on myself and immersing myself completely into work. I'm actively working all three places right now, though that will be coming to a close after next week as I close the chapter on my life in the banking industry. Last week, I realized I was ready and the universe responded with a new employee filling my place as of March 11th.

I had my first shifts at the coffeeshop in 2 months and it was fun. While I accept every shift won't be fun and right now it's new and exciting again, I've been given the perspective change of being there because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to in order to stay afloat. Its a fun job and ultimately I want to make extra money while I can and of course keep my discount. It's not the dumbest reason to stay. It would only be dumb if I were miserable and I'm not. I have the power now to leave when it stops being good.

Right now, working so much is hard, but life is pretty damn good. I'm happy happy happy. I feel a light in my eyes that had been dimmed. I'm continuing to get better at my job and learn and able to pay my bills. This is one of those times in life where I'm bound and determined to enjoy the ride.
