Intersection

Last night Saki, Alissa and Belz put on a beautiful mexican dinner for my upcoming quarter century milestone. What amazing people I have in my life and how blessed I am. The conversation took a bit of a turn into Serious St (somewhere in between screaming away to Britney and Christina classics!) that made me reflect how much has truly changed in the past decade.

Being back in Christchurch I often feel itchy for drastic change. A part of me is ashamed to be back here because I feel that it's a step back but I guess it's only geographically true, getting on the right career path (no matter how much I hate it) isn't something I should crucify myself over. All very easy to type on one pensive Sunday morning but I need to let it lie and be calm inside of me for now as nothing's about to change today or tomorrow and THAT'S OKAY. When I think about all the painful things gone down in the past ten years, it's proof that life certainly will move forward and I WILL see and do some of things I want to. So be calm Hannah, you psycho!

Something that has become quite apparent however is that some people are simply vexations to your spirit and if your friendship/relationship does not fill your soul with warmth and you do not gain strength from one another then there is no excuse for it continuing; even the length of that friendship is not reason enough if you have made an effort to amend whatever that keeps breaking it. Just as I have grown, they have too, and sometimes the negatives in their personality do not mix with the negatives in yours.

"Qui se resemble s'assemble"- You are who you surround yourself with. From today I will try to make that change.

P.S. For purposes of keeping this a timeline, Kristian just got back from spending a week in Wellington auditioning for musical therapy and for two interviews which all appear to be likely options for him. I keep changing my mind on how I feel about this but it certainly has created a knot somewhere in the depths of stomach. When Paul heard about it this he offered some fatherly advice: "some things are bigger, stronger and more important that your career". Monu-fucking-mental. Guess this proves how much people can change in a short period of time!
