new life.

so this weekend i was completely miserable.  i was exhausted all weekend because of work and then just like, relationship stuff. and i was sick of it.
so today i feel like i basically changed everthing that had been bothering me and had been making me miserable. i feel like i changed a lot of my life. 
first, i quit my job. i called concordia this morning and simply quit.  i didn't want to keep spending every single weekend busting my ass off at that job. i absolutely loved my job...i loved working with and helping the residents and taking care of them. but i hated being exhausted. and not having any flexibility in the schedule. or any appreciation from the management. so i quit. and i went back to sheet. which actually worked out even more perfectly than i had anticipated or even hoped for.  i went in and my manager was like, "what hours/days do you want, we'll give you anything." so i got to pick my work schedule. hells. yes.
then, i decided on breaking up with nick. for good this time. i'm almost sure. or at least, i hope i'm sure this time.
i'm just sick of sacrificing things for our relationship and not getting ant
hing in return. i feel like i give up things i want to do just to make him happy, but i don't feel like he does much in return. i feel tied down and controlled. and i don't like that feeling at all. and i'm sick of all of the stupid fights and bickering. the worry and anxiety. plus, i can't help but notice that when him and i stop talking and i do my own thing, i'm happier. i can't ignore that. that's a sign..

so i feel like today is a day that i'm like starting over with a lot of things. for once, i'm putting myself above other people. which isn't something i typically do. i hope i'm not being selfish. but i feel like i need to do what makes me happy for a change. and stop wallowing in misery and actually do something to change it. i hope these decisions are good..and i hope they make my life better and not worse.

  2. These decisions are not selfish; they are decisions you made by listening to your own judgment and doing what is best for you - things that are long overdue. Don't second guess your instincts or your decisions; you are far more intuitive and self aware than you have ever given yourself credit for. It is great to see that you are starting to see it within yourself, and TRUST and value yourself enough to act on it.

    I'm glad you posted this blog because the previous one worried me. In this one I see that determination and resolve resurfacing. I feel that your perspective and awareness of what is that you are fighting for, and what's most important in the end, is making it's way back to the forefront of your mind.

    REMEMBER that NONE of the decisions you've made were for the purpose of inconveniencing or hurting anyone; they were made with the intention of finally enabling YOURSELF to live the life you deserve to live. And there is NOTHING wrong with that.

    Sometimes taking care of changing things all at once, like ripping off a band-aid, is best. Get it all out of the way and start fresh on all fronts tomorrow. There's something very liberating in that - ENJOY it.
