A few random Thursday thoughts
This week has seriously flown by. I’ve kept myself busy every evening, and this weekend will be no different. I’ve got plans crammed into every minute of every day that I’ll be home. Same with next week after work.
Even though I miss BF a lot, if he hadn’t left, I doubt I would have ever reached out to these new friends in Vancouver. I think that him leaving has really saved me, as weird as it sounds. It was getting so comfortable just to hang out with him and his friends all the time. I would see him as often as I could, and I was happy doing it. But on days where he was busy? I would find it extremely hard to fill up my time. I would be ridiculously bored. Now that I have rekindled my friendship with a couple of awesome people here, I’ve started to really create my own little support network. I’m having fun, and I’m not moping and stressing and wondering if my boyfriend is alive or dead up there in Alaska … although when I’m alone in bed at night, that’s all I still think about. But as for this support network, if by some chance, things don’t end up working out with BF, I know I will be able to survive here in Vancouver by myself.
But the one thing I’ve learned about myself since BF has been gone? If I have access to a car, I’ll use it. Since he’s been gone, I haven’t walked to work, or to the grocery store once. I’ve always taken his car. This is bad … bad not only for the environment, but bad for my health. I’m grateful for the car – it’s really been helpful to have it … and I’m kind of sad to have to give it back, but I think it will be better for me to go back to walking everywhere.
