Time Flies When You're Having Fun...

Happy Friday world!! I took a trip down memory lane yesterday by looking at some photo albums off my Facebook page. Boy does time fly! I was quickly saddened by all the changes that occurred in such a short amount of time, especially from 2011-2012. I saw pictures of me and my ex, my other friend with her husband. We all looked very happy together. Obviously me and my ex broke up not long after and my friend and her husband are currently separated. I found a group picture of a woman who passed away last year. She is one year older than me. The weird thing is we are still going through the motions from those years. You don't have enough time to adjust before something else happens. It's the sad reality of life. It DOES move fast, and sometimes staying afloat is all you can do. I left work bummed out, only to receive a silly video text from someone currently on vacation. He is truly living it up out there! It made me feel warm inside knowing he's enjoying his time off. Embrace it, I thought to myself. You never know what's around the corner that can change your whole life.
Last week was a short work week due to Martin Luther King Jr. I took down all of my Christmas decorations. I am pretty satisfied with the my holiday décor and am looking forward to what retail shops will be offering up next winter. It's a joyous season, but now that we're in January, my focus is mostly shifted to my resolutions: what I would like to get out of the upcoming year. Since I'm aware of the changes that have happened in my life in the past, I really want to manage my money better and build up my savings. For what? Who knows. But at least I can get a head start with the financial aspect of it.
I did some damage control over the weekend. I'm not proud of it either. It is a reminder to me to not get too carried away for it to become a habit or else I'll really be in big trouble. What started out as a simple dinner plan grew into a full blown night out on the town. I wasn't prepared for staying out so late, especially since I already had plans the next night for a birthday party. UGH!!! Regardless, who can resist Union Sushi and some cocktails? Yes I am guilty of such, but I DO want to tone down the nightlife scene. We made our way to Concord Music Hall to check out Morgan Page and Borgeous only to end up at The Mid later on to catch the same show! LMAO!
