Synchronicity.

Been thinking about employment a lot lately. It's always a fun topic, especially in these times. I'm in no rush to dive into a career (although I obviously want a "real" job in the coming months). I just want to be able to support myself. It has nothing to do with pride, or the fact that I'm living at home. I'm happy with my situation, and I'm thankful for it every day. More than anything, I'm just ready to be able to support myself to the point where I can be out on my own. It really is that time, but with the way things are today, it won't be easy.

I wouldn't say I've been stressing about it necessarily, but it's been in the back of my mind the last few weeks, and especially since I officially finished my resume. Did a lot of thinking about it yesterday too, and I realized that I really am happy with 99% of my life right now. I love the job I DO have now, I love my family and my friends, and I'm with a great girl. That's all I need, honestly, but what I WANT is that last percent. I'm GREEDY for it, and I can SEE it, but I can't reach it yet.

As I brought this whole idea up to a special person in my car, my odometer was right at this reading:


It says "141414" if you can't read it (you know I had to get a pic...). We actually drove around to get it there, but once I talked it out, she put the number and my problems together and said, "See, everything lines up." And it does. I know simple signs like that sound cheesy, but they're cool in their own way.

Things line up around us all the time, and we don't always see it happening, or feel like going through the motions we need to go through to get there, but we DO. I think one of the best feelings in the world is when something lines up for you and catches you so off guard that you don't really see it until you're well down that road and enjoying it. I've had a lot of experience with this over the last few months, and I'm thankful for that every day.

Bottom line is, don't stop moving forward to where you trying to go, but don't miss out on other things on the way. I'll find a job in my career path. I'm a determined guy. Some of you know just HOW determined I can get more than others, and I like to think of that a a good thing. But it's whatever. Things line up. And I like it.

PS: Carra, things will line up. It's a pain in the ass, but give it time. Love, Your Brother.
