knit through this!

well, it seems i’m back after having fallen off the face of the earth yet again. unfortunately, this time it was for much longer than i had planned. i’m not where i thought i’d be when i thought of my future around this time last year. i had a plan, it fell through, and while i forced myself into a pretty great plan b, i haven’t been able to kick that funk just yet.

i’m not in brooklyn like i thought i’d be. i’m back in providence with an awesome roommate and the same fat cat. i’m holding some semblance of a life together, but mostly being bratty because it isn’t quite what i expected. i’ve been going through a lot of that one-thing-works-out-and-then-another-falls-to-shit stuff. and as a girl who was often judgmental of others with romantic troubles, i take it back entirely. boys can make you stupid and weird-headed even in your mid-twenties.

i’m working full-time in a completely non-career related job and it kind of sucks the life out of me. i’m stuck with the night shift for at least a few more months, and while for the last few hours it’s slow and i can knit on the job, i feel like i do nothing but sleep, get up, go to work, go out and drink, then do it all over again. having money is nice, but i miss my freedom.

but! in order to escape all of the not-so-greatness i’ve been barely pushing through, i’ve been writing a lot. and then i thought, “hey, why not bring my blog back, too?” i’m hoping that maybe if i at least share the silliness of my projects and the little things that happen throughout my day, that i’ll feel like i’m getting my life back. for me, this is an operation: PROJECT KNIT THROUGH THIS! because i will knit myself out of this funk and into something else.

p.s. – everyone go out and listen to lights right now. i’m obsessed.
