Changes...

So today I was thinking and realised that I've made quite a few subtle changes in my life recently. I got a new bedspread, some new clothes, changed my hair, lost some weight. Its definitely interesting to see myself going through some change.

Soooo....

Random thought... I am going to ask my manager to switch to unloading (as in unloading merchandise from the trucks) because I would like a change from cashiering. Hopefully Walmart will live up to its name of letting their employees try new things. Or I might be seeing if Smiths or Target are hiring.

To the visitors of my blog:

Please by all means leave a comment and introduce yourselves. I'm rather curious to know whos reading my blog in California and Illinois.

What I like about my new place

1. Flat rate charge of $35 for all utilities including internet, air conditioning, electricity, water, ect.
2. Although the ac is loud when running it works and it works well.
3. I have my own room which although small is my own space and I can lock it with a key.
4. The location is great. I can walk to work and school because I live so close to both.

The Road Less Travelled

Tension brewing high, I set off on the path much less traveled. The shattered memories of a familial unit lay in fragments behind me as I begin to climb. I come to a fork in the road. One path is beaten smooth by the constant use by travelers, the other nothing more than a mountain goat trail. In the middle of the fork stands a robed figure. The figure speaks in a raspy voice "choose your path well, both paths have good qualities but only one path is right for you. The other will eventually consume you and on both you will have to withstand the test of the purging by fire as well as other tests." Unhesitantly I choose the mountain goat trail, my ties to the world behind fragmenting and falling to dust.

As I climb the mountain goat trail I reach a cliff where another figure waits for me smiling with one hand behind her back and asks "Will you do something for me?". She reveals what she has hidden in her hand behind her back. It is a dagger. "Die!" she screams and leaps at me. A old memory triggers of this and I dodge and defend with a kick which knocks her off balance and she falls. I move on, another old memory falling in the dust behind me as I continue to ascend and climb.

The path is overgrown as it is not commonly traveled but I press on. I continue to climb the mountain. I pass landscapes of many different types of scenery. Snow and glaciers, sandy deserts with sand dunes, tropical forests... I press on...

"Dark they were with golden eyes, but in a twinkle they die."

It is night but I continue to press on as I am not tired but energized. The stars bright light shining down on the rocky terrain of the mountain landscape. Another figure emerges.

"You have passed the trials" the figure said. "You walked through fire and emerged victorious." "This path, the one less traveled, was the right path for you..." The figure disappeared in an orb of glowing light and I continued on, nearing the top of the mountain.

As the sun rose I reached the top of the mountain, I stretched my arms and in their place was feathers. I stretched my eagles wings and I fly, my past falling behind.

I will let you know when I can catch my breath

Well I am finally standing up for myself and it is exhausting after spending a lifetime caving in to the whims of others, I finally am standing up for myself and I will let you know how it goes when I can catch my breath
