Next week will be my 35th birthday. I've been having a pretty hard time this year. For my birthday last year, I received pending unemployment. Since then, I broke up with my boyfriend, was terminated from my job, spent a month unemployed, found a new job, relocated to another state, attempted a reconciliation with my boyfriend, broke up again, visited Louisiana, Texas, and Alaska (two good trips, one disaster), and have tried to keep my chin up.
Staying positive has been kind of difficult. It's really hard to meet people, make friends. I'm not religious, so meeting people at church is not going to happen. Now that I'm finally settled into a house, I'm trying out gyms. Not really thinking I'll meet a whole lot of people that way, since I prefer to concentrate on my workout than scoping out potential friends. I like to keep my personal and professional life separate, so it's not like I'll make a lot of friends there.
Dating is also something that has crossed my mind. I miss being in a relationship, but I hate dating. I hate the awkwardness, the games, the "trial periods." I signed up for Match.com (again). I met my last boyfriend on-line, so I thought I'd try it again. I'm also looking into Meet-Up groups in the area; maybe I'll find something that interests me there.
In the meantime, I'm trying to look forward to my birthday.
