Sometimes, Part II.

Sometimes everyone on facebook

is travelling to other countries,

or getting married,

or getting engaged,

or posting pictures with a new

significant other,

or posting pictures of 

flowers/chocolates/promises you don't intend to keep

that their perfect boyfriend/husband got them,

or announcing that they're pregnant,

or giving birth to a super cute baby,

or landing a new job,

or starting school again,

or just moved somewhere new and exciting,

or

at the very least

is pouring a bucket of ice water

over their head

for reasons never fully explained.

Sometimes I am never doing any of those things.

Especially not that ice bucket business.

Sometimes I am moving into a new house,

and living by myself for a week,

and feeling like my car

is one of my best friends,

and making frequent trips to Rock Canyon Park,

and worrying about all the exciting directions

that my career could go,

and teaching myself microeconomics

on the side,

and working 9-hour days that start at 7:30 am,

and teaching a room full of boys how to tutor,

and getting free lunch at work

three days in a row,

and trying to remember what it's like

to do homework,

and sometimes feeling extremely lonely,

and sometimes feeling overjoyed

that there are people in my life

that I love.

Sometimes I just feel good

that I successfully used a staple gun

to attach this bunting

to this lemonade stand

at the Ericksons' wedding.

So good that I took a picture of it.

We're not so different after all,

are we?
