It's the end of June and it has been a year since last end of June. A lot changed in my life last June.... I got Frankie!! my little 7 week old baby pitbull. Since then he was in the hospital for a week, sick again a couple months later, grew into an intense possessiveness over food, toys, and me, went through hours and hours of training, caused me not only a lot of money but also a lot of stress and here we are today best friends. At the end of the day no one is like Frankie. In the real world a lot happened as well. I have kept my job at The Marquee successfully for over a year now. I quit Derf's, quit Jitter's, started at Trader Joe's quit Trader Joe's, got a job at Zaytoon's and lasted a month. Now I am only at Marquee. Last July I met a guy named Domenico.. fell in love with this Italian man and at the end of October he had to go back to Italy and was no more. I was heartbroken and was looking for distractions.. and successfully found them but probably didn't need them. I met a guy named Edson and started dating him and by January we had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend. I let all of me love Edson, ALL OF ME. too much and too soon. I only saw redeeming qualities and every non redeeming quality and red flag was pushed aside. By April we were fighting over stupid stuff, he was constantly fickle and we were both broke down. Problems had entered our relationship and we did not know how to successfully communicate through them and work as a team. The beginning of June it ended and as much as I needed and wanted to be freed from it the pain was still there. So now a year has passed and although a lot of pain entered my life this year, a lot of pain is also leaving my life. I recently have been trying to shed unhealthy skin and so far have been quit successful. I have more free time than I've had in a long time and that free time has been dedicated to art and fun. I picked up a job that is once a week, one hour, teaching art to kids which is such a passion of mine. Close doors that need to be closed and the right ones will open. goodbye for now...
