Valpurgis Eve 2007, Meaning of Life Stuff
May. 1st, 2007 01:18 pmMay Day today, and it's back to work tomorrow. My time off has been productive - shopping, gym, volunteer work, paying bills & reading loads of fanfiction (yay!)
Valpurgis Eve was nice. I went to the festivities like I always do. The speech was nice, the fireworks were awesome, and the wind was cold, but I wore tights under my pants so I came prepared. Afterwards I went home and ate mozzarella/serrano salad and Gino (baked fruit with white chocolate) for dessert.
Only thing that was different from previous years was that I didn't drink anything.
I haven't had alcohol for a long time, haven't had tobacco since Easter. It just feels like too much of a hassle to get drunk & depressed and then tired and hung over or sick from the cigarettes.
Call me virtuous.
New things since last year is that I've made a bigger comittment towards working out.
It has always been my dream to become fit, and I'm gonna make a shot at that.
My life is in a "transit station" right now. I feel my life and myself will change a great deal over the next few years, and I welcome that change.
The old life ended when my relationship ended and it has taken me a couple of years to finish mourning. Now I have nothing left to loose.
It seems unlikely to me that I will be living in the same city in five years. In fact, it seems unlikely that I will be the same person. Hopefully, some of the flaws will have been filed away and more parts of my authentic self (that I feel stirring under the surface even now) will have emerged.
My goals right now is to save money and to work out so that I will be healthy and have a strong body as well as saved funds when I figure out what to do with my life.
I have two dreams that I thought up a while back. They are:
A rewarding, meaningful, adventurous job.
A handful of friends who are close like family.
And with that I am off to the gym.
