another travel season

september is quickly approaching and you all know what that means......
admissions. travel. season.

admittedly, i'm not excited about it nor did i see myself gearing up for another(4th) year of travel.

sigh.

but it is what it is.

this summer has actually been a bit busy for me and i've barely had time to just sit and think. now that i think about it....i haven't even taken a vacation....

yet!



vegas!!!


i mentioned in a post a loooooong time ago that me and my sis were planning a trip there (at her insistence) to celebrate her college graduation. vegas is totally happening in 2 weeks (bought the plane tickets earlier this week). a bit late, but nonetheless i will be shaking my ass in vegas for labor day weekend so i guess i will have a little bit of fun before the reality of my job surfaces.

to follow-up from the previous post

a friend of mine from memphis, who i've known since 7th grade, just recently moved to georgia. she is among the list of friends who didn't make the cut at the beginning of the year. specifically, she's the one whose lifestyle is less than desirable. anyway, she moved to georgia recently and obviously wants to see me because for her i am still her best friend. so she's been calling
and calling
and calling
trying to catch up with me.
i finally listened to one of her voicemails and it was just
sad
i'm a bad person. who am i to blast someone else's life? but on the flip side, i honestly have no desire to be in contact with her.
sad
aren't friends suppose to lift you up, inspire you? why can't i be that for her?
aren't friends suppose to be a reflection of yourself and ultimately who you want to be? why can't she be that for me?
i've grown so much since the last time we lived within walking distance of each other, but she hasn't...i dunno
