Ringing In The New Year

Portland Blog maybe?

Food, veganism, depression, east coast learning, west coast longing, etc.

With the coming of the new year, so many things were welcomed into my life.

I officially became vegan again, I started a new anti-depressant which hopefully will be close to my last one. I visited home, saw my doctors, got new eyeglass prescriptions, saw and talked to west coast friends I hadn't spoken to in awhile.

Might I add to any friends who are reading this, I have moved and started settling in. I have not forgotten about you. I simply am trying to cope and adjust to living far away from everyone.

I was very hurt when I stopped hearing from my friends when I first moved. But then I realized when I stopped contacting them in return that it wasn't to hurt me, it was because they woke up, went to work, school, ate, worked out, cooked, cleaned, loved their partners/dogs/animals and went to sleep. I am supposed to expect that out of your sixteen hour day that you are supposed to pay attention to me?

No. I move on and make a life here and we talk when we can like old friends. That is what you do when you are an adult.

As for here, might I add that this has been the hardest, yet best move I have made in my short life. But who knows, maybe I have more moves to make?

When I first moved here, I cried every night because I was so lonely.
Now I go to bed each night excited to wake up and go to work.

Speaking of work let's talk about how I found my dream job. Sorry guys, this blog is going to be huge, but life has given me a large opportunity and it would be selfish to not share.
