It's amazing what a week can do for you.

Life hasn't been that stressful to be honest. I had a pretty easy semester and everything ran smoothly. But i just got a complete reload over this weekend.

I got to spend the weekend with my mom's side of the family and it was amazing! Almost the whole family was there. it would have been nice to see my Aunt Tammy, Uncle Jamie and Grandma Judy but we had a good turn out nonetheless. Everyone made the effort to make it and to come and it was great to see everyone.

I even got to spend a few extra days with my cousin at her place after the weekend.

It's just been a great week. it was so good to see everyone and to talk and catch up on stuff. I love my family. they really are there for you no matter what. I couldn't have asked for a better (or crazier) family than this one.

Thanks to you all for being so awesome and making this weekend spectacular!

negativity is a creepin

So in the past week or so 2 of the most negative people in my life have tried to contact me on facebook. I'm not really sure why either. A part of me thinks that they have ulterior motives. The other part of me thinks that maybe they are sorry or have changed and want to make amends.

Well the whole of me says... Why should I even bother with you? Reforging our relationships even in a minute way will not add anything to my life and may, in fact, hurt me (again) in the end.

I've considered rekindling the friendships that we had. I've talked it over with those I trust. The conclusion is always that it is not worth my time. I have built an amazing future for myself and by no means do I intend to ruin that. I've worked so hard to get where I am. I have stumbled, cried and picked myself up again to carry on.
I don't need you weighing me down.
