Overwhelmed Complaining

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I'm down to one week or I have to give a 60 day notice that I'll be finding somewhere else to live. I have struck out 3 times with finding a roommate. I get my hopes up and they are yanked out from under me. I do have a back up plan, but it's a little expensive. Just when I've gotten all my financials under control this crap happens. I feel like it's never going to be okay. I know in the end, it will be and it's what God intended, but still. It's hard right now. I know I'll grow and learn and all that jazz, but for once I want something easy. I know supposedly you take for granted the easy stuff in life, but lately I think I'd cherish easy right now. I want just one thing going on in my life to work out. I feel like all I've done the past 2-3 days is cry. It's not just the housing issues, there's other stuff going on that I just wish would work out. I pray that it works out. It's the one thing in my life that I KNOW is good. I know overcoming the obstacles in the path will make it stronger but I just want it to be okay now. My job sucks. I keep trying to find something, but this economy sucks. I know whoa is me, I have a job when a lot of people don't and would be grateful. I am grateful I have a job, don't get me wrong, I just wish it was challenging. Standing in front of the store and greeting people is not a job for a college graduate! I wish I had the start up money for my event company. I started a savings account and I was going to save up for it, but that's all going to housing now. How do people do it? I just feel like I'm drowning. 

Venting Session

So a lot has happened since my last blog.

I have broken up with Clay. I just don't feel about him the way that I used to. I've been feeling this way for about a month now. I was able to go to camp and have time to really sit down and pray about this, think it through. I sat him down Monday night and we talked about it and I ended it. He said he'd been feeling similarly (is that a word?) and that he just didn't know how to interpret his feelings. After our talk I leave to drive around and clear my head. It sucks that we aren't together and I don't feel that way anymore, but it's just how it is. I can't make those feelings reappear. 

Tuesday rolls around and everything seems fine. Then at lunch I come home because I'm broke (lol), Clay had the day off so he was washing dishes. He stops everything that he's doing and the entire lunch he sits next to me, like really closely. Whatever, right? Then I come home from work and he sits me down and wants me to know if I'm sure I just don't need space. I said no. I've had a while to think about this and I know it's over. We had plans to go see Public Enemies with a bunch of friends, so I got ready. We get to Applebee's and he squishes into the booth with me. And I'm not talking he's sitting comfortably beside me, I mean he's all up on me, really touchy. I'm starting to get annoyed. We go to Wal-Mart to get some candy and kill time. By this time I'm just pissed and annoyed. By the time we got to the theater, I didn't even want to go see the movie because I knew I'd be miserable the entire time. So Ali, Critchfield and I met Anthony outside and talked for a while, being goofy. About 11:15 we are summoned in by a text calling us anit-social. So we go in and Ali asked Paul and Critchfield to sit next to me so it wouldn't be awkward. As Paul goes to sit, Clay asks him to scoot down so he can sit next to me. Well that was when my fuse blew. I told him to stop being clingy. He asks if we can go talk. We do. I tell him to stop being clingy or being friends will not work. He says he finds it hard to believe that it's really this simple that I don't have feelings for him anymore. It is that simple! He ends up leaving. And the movie sucked.

To me, God's plan was never for us to get married or to stay together. To me, it was for us to meet and date for a while. Through Clay, I met Paul. Through Paul, I started going to Catalyst Christian Church. I was back in church again. I did a week of camp at Bluegrass Christian Camp and it was amazing. It really brought me closer to God and gave me time to realize what was going on. I realized that it's not His plan for us to be together anymore. We've served our purposes for each other. We got back into church. Clay even said that if it wasn't for me, he probably would have only visited Catalyst a couple of times, not regularly. 

All of this is frustrating me. I want to stay friends. He's my best friend. But if it's going to be like this, then I can't deal with that. He sent me a text last night that says it hurts to see me having fun. I understand he's hurting. But I've dealt with my feeling, I've had time to go through the grieving process. I'm not going to stop my life and not have fun, I do feel guilty that I hurt him and that sucks. I didn't want to hurt him, but at the same time, I knew what had to be done. I just wish he could understand. 

K. Done venting now.

I need a day to just myself. Disconnect myself from the world. Just me, my iPod, and my laptop so I can actually work on my writing.
I've been feeling a little bummed lately. Not sure exactly what's going on with me, but I really need to figure it out. Hopefully my day off on Wednesday will help me sort everything out. I'm feeling a little restless in my life. I hate my job, hopefully the jobs that I found last night will fix that. I need out of this place, I'm always in a crappy mood when I'm here. Ugh.

Let's Play Catch Up!

It's been a long while since I've written. So I'm probably going to leave a lot out.

Last time I blogged it was about a job, well I'm STILL at AT&T. Boo! I still don't like my job, but I do like the people I work with.

Clay and I have passed the year mark, we're rounding in on the 1 1/2 soon. 

Not a whole lot has really happened since September. The only thing that has been huge was going to camp. Yes, you read right. Rhea went to camp. Those who know me, know that I'm not much of an outdoorsy kind of person. I would tell people that I was going to camp and they would stare at me and laugh. Bluegrass Christian Camp was amazing! I was really nervous going into it because like I said I'd never been to camp. Also being around that many kids would be a challenge because I'm not around kids often. I also had no clue what to expect. I was going in kind of blind. But by the second day I felt very at home. Camp gave me a chance to meet more people that I go to church with. I'd met some, but hadn't really gotten to know them because Clay usually works on Sunday and we always ride together, so I never really got to stay after church and hang out with everyone. I was a dorm parent with Edwina and Debbie, two of the coolest moms ever! I really enjoyed getting to know them. Debbie was also part of my team, along with Anthony. Let me just say our team rocked. We won the competition! I can honestly say that everyone that I met this past week is amazing. They are awesome people. But the best part of all was the worship services every night. We got to see The John Kelley Band. They're amazing. Just watching the kids praise God was amazing. Seeing them and how close their relationships with God are, has inspired me to work on mine. The speakers were very inspiring. I think my favorite was Ryan Brown's. I'm burnt to a crisp and sleep deprived but it was all well worth it. 

I'm not looking forward to going back to work Tuesday at all. Boo!

Oh and I moved back in April.
