I'm not good at keeping in touch. It's always been one of my downfalls. I hate picking up the phone and having big topic conversations: how's life, how's the family, what's new? What I'm really asking is, what do I need to know? What have I missed over the last # of weeks? or months? and I hate that I've missed things. I hate conversations with things to say, I would like to have nothing conversations. The ones you have everyday where nothing is really said, yet everything is. The ones filled with details and inside jokes. The ones in which you know everyone I'm talking about, already know the entire background story, already know which emotion I feel before I say a word. Those are the conversations that make friends, those are the conversations I love. I miss people being a part of my everyday and I wish I were better at keeping in touch

I have officially been working for 6 months, meaning that my 1 year goal is half way done.... I just hope I can really go through with this, hope I don't chicken out... 1 year or even 2. It just cannot be forever...
