So Lyrical--Got Your Back

I got your back boy
We were high
We were low
but I promise I will never let you go
said I got I got I got I got your back boy
I got I got I got I got your back boy
(I know you got my back right)
keep my swagger
keep it looking good for ya
keep it looking hood for ya
shawty if you don't know
I got I got I got I got your back boy

Work today was unbelievably tiresome and tedious. From 9:45 until 4:00, all I did was sort through box office paperwork from the weekend, including Friday, because nobody is in the office on the weekends and nobody else would go and do that stupid stuff for the office manager because nobody is as nice and passive as I am! Hmph. I told myself to take it slowly, too, so I wouldn't be assigned even more tasks, but then I finished with an hour left... But I must admit that I spent a good amount of that time just chatting on AIM and walking to and from the cubicle. And it was cold! My jacket smelled like burned stuff, so I didn't want to wear it, so I hung it on the back of my chair. To start off with, it wasn't even that hot outside, and then the air conditioning just happened to be on full blast today, or so it felt to me.
I really don't want to go to work for the rest of the week.
On a brighter note, I have found an exceptionally better, healthier alternative to my almost daily 11:30 strawberry sundae snack: the fruit and yogurt parfait. Yum. And they're both $1.10! In that sense, not only am I not losing out on something healthier, I'm also not losing out on the price difference (or lack thereof).
Some days, I just can't wait until my last day of work, which is August 27. Today was one of those days. Work is such a drag! Just like high school was. I guess that many things that we don't like to do eventually become a drag. Heck, many of those many things start off as things that we DO like to do. But just the repetition of it and the tediousness of everything makes it not nearly as enjoyable as it initially was after a certain period of time. I bet I'm going to find college to be a drag, too. And after college, work again. Sigh.

Man, I miss ROCK retreat!

Talking about T1D

I used to tell people, "I am diabetic" or "I am a diabetic" and I never liked saying that because it wasn't something that people reacted positively to, or it wasn't something that everybody understood.  Previously, I wrote about my first taste of empowerment , when I (finally) learned in middle school to give myself injections. Undoubtedly, this turning point also brought about a change in attitude. Until then, I used to constantly be frustrated or angry about having diabetes, about not being able to do X/Y/Z, about being micromanaged by my parents. After I learned to administer injections to myself and especially after I started using the insulin pump, I began to feel more control over and ownership of my condition. I no longer had to rely on my mother or the school nurse, and I could take insulin whenever, for whatever I wanted to eat (within reason) or glucose reading I needed to correct.  One day, I had an epiphany: that what I had been tell

Becoming Happier

Image
I can't always make other people happy. It's hard to do and even harder to admit. I spent years making decisions and commitments based on what I thought others wanted or needed, forgoing the better decisions for and commitments to myself. I tried to convince myself that seeing other people happy made me happy, but alas, they were only fleeting moments. On the occasions I failed to make somebody happy, I became disappointed. On the occasions somebody was completely unappreciative, I became angry. Furthermore, I can't ever base my happiness on one person, or any group of persons. I have to find happiness on my own terms, and that means asking myself what I want, and actually doing it. (from " Reflections ", January 2018)  You know the saying, "Do what makes you happy"? Well, I've been trying that out for the past year or so, and it really works. It took a lot for me to realize that I hadn't been happy, and it took a long time for me to become h

Things I Wish I'd Known

I don't need to try to please everybody. As valiant and commendable of an effort as one can make, it is impossible to make everybody happy. While happiness can ensue via acts of service for others, I've come to realize that it also has to be actively pursued by asking myself what I want .  A good relationship with my parents is just as important as a good relationship with anybody else. In middle school, I began to "rebel", and in doing so, I of course often upset my parents, and began to communicate with them less and less about my daily goings-on. Meanwhile, I began to develop deep relationships with friends and later romantic relationships with boy(s). A part of me thought that it was a trade-off--either relationship with my parents or relationships with my friends. And I made a choice. But really, there was truly no reason it couldn't have been both.  Not every relationship (the general sense of the word, not just the romantic sense) needs to stay a relatio
