Life is kind of kicking my ass right now. I'm writing this, but I don't know if I'll post it. If I post it, I will probably delete it. But, yeah.

It's been a really shitty, awful year. And to be honest its getting worse, not better, despite trying to keep a Pollyanna outlook.

I was head over heels in total love with a guy, and in all honesty really thought he was The One. So happy. So in love. And he decided he didn't love me after all, and that he is leaving not only me, but the country as well.

And now he's with someone else. And was more than likely cheating on me with her whilst we were together.

My grandfather passed away, and not being able to say goodbye, or be there with my family in New Zealand broke my heart.

Work is awful. I can't go into why, but it's taking all my willpower to not just up and leave.

My grandmother had a heart attack this morning. I've been spending all day by the phone waiting to hear more, and see if she is OK, but I won't know for a good few hours yet. Again being so far away from home and my family is really difficult.

If you guys have any words of advice, or pictures of puppies, it would be really awesome. Getting tired of trying to keep my head above water.

Sorry for the woe-is-me post. Sometimes you just have to talk.

*Huuuuuuuuuuuuuug*

I'm sorry life is shitty right now. This is cliche maybe, but it will get better. That guy is obviously a class A doofus for leaving such a bomb lady, he obviously doesn't deserve you.

Here are some good quotes by famous and smart people


"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."
Martin Luther King



"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines."
Robert Schuller



"We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey."
Kenji Miyazawa

I'm so sorry lady :( Heartbreak on top of every thing else is so hard. I'm sending lots of happy thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I hope your grandmother recovers well and quickly!

As for your job, is it permanently crappy? Or is it just a rough patch? If it's always bad, you should totally look for another gig. Life is too short to be stuck in something that you hate. You are super talented and awesome and I know you could find something better that makes you happy!

*super big hugs*

Man, thanks you guys. I love you.

Overall I've been doing really well. Trying to find the good in things, and its not all been doom and gloom - I have had some good times as well. Just with this new news of my grandmother everything looks dark again.

The work crap is something that happens almost like clockwork about every 6 months or so. Suffice to say that it's a really awful situation that I have no control over whatsoever. In between those times, I love my job. But when it resurfaces, it makes me really unhappy and upset. I wish I could say more, and explain it, but I can't :(

Thank you for the kind wishes about my grandmother. I'm nervous and worried and scared for her. Since my grandfather passed away she's been quite alone.

Micah I love those, I'm going to write them down

let it out sister. I'm sorry all of these things seem to be happening simultaneously, just one is tough enough. Wish you were closer so we could visit and have fun and go to the mall and try on funny outfits and laugh about them, then finally find the right outfit and nod in silent approval. But i'm sending you virtual hugs in the meantime!

Was that the grandfather that you had that lovely photo of the two of you up on Facebook? I'm sorry for your loss.

I have had a lot of crappy things happen to my little family this year. Death, disease and divorce have all hit. At the same time, there's so many great things happening for my family and I, so we're all weathering the storm extremely well.

I think what has helped me cope with all the bullshit is having the most amazing support network. Somehow it all seems pretty minimal when I have people to laugh with, to cry with and whom I share love with. You seem like a very loved person and you can count that as a blessing at the very least.

My biggest advice is don't hold it in. It will spread like poison. Let those who love you help ease the burden. I know things will get better for you. Even when they seem like they won't, they always do somehow.

That was him - thanks lady.. And thank you for the wonderful advice... you are right, I'm really lucky that I have really close family and friends. Most are very far away, but there have been lots of emails and skype calls and IM's which have helped a lot..

I really hope things turn around for your family soon as well - these things are not easy

Thanks Randy and Phil. Those dogflowers are awesome.

Really sorry to hear all that . I'm always around if you want a chat - I'm pretty good at dealing with shitty years. Just be positive and optimistic - might not be worth anything now but things generally do get better :)

Thank you guys - I'm sorry for the slow reply I was moving house yesterday.

Alwin - thank you sunshine. Hugs are the best.

Steve - I want to marry someone like you too.

Annie - thanks miss I love you too.

Stu - thanks dude. You've had more than your fair share of shit mister, I will definitely keep hope - I hope you are doing really well :)

On the upside, I spoke to my parents last night, and my grandmother is still at the hospital but recovering really well, and they are planning on discharging her in the next few days - I'm so so happy that she is OK.

Thanks for the shoulders to lean on friends, I really appreciate it

sorry it has been such a crap year, A. why don't you just change jobs? i don't think people should ever stick with a job that is making them unhappy. maybe there is somehting MUCH better for you, waiting around the corner?

Oh ship, I really hope that things get better for you .

On the boyfriend bussiness, I know it still hurt ( and will hurt for a while ) but in the long run you'll realize that he wasn't worth it and it was actually a good thing that he is not longer a part of your life.

I know that you wanted to say goodbye to your grandfather and couldn't, I read somewhere that it would help to write a leeter to that person we have not been able to say goodbye to and express on that letter all of the thing we wish we could have told them, more importantly remember that those that we love ( and that love us, as well ) will always be a part of our lives...

Work...I hate my job as well ( I used to like it until a few months back, before the BIG changes started to happen ) you should start looking for another form of employment if you can.

Great to hear your grand mother is doing better :-)

no need to apologize for this blog, if anything thanks for sharing and confiding on us; am sure I speak for everyone when I say we care for you.
