I've been in Colorado for almost a week and half, and it snowed once...ONCE PEOPLE! WTF? I was expecting a white Christmas...it feels like New Orleans outside without the humidity...which isn't that bad. But what's the point of living in the mountains without snow?
I keep seeing these little signs everywhere, advertisments; I don't pay much attention to the product, just the phrase: It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas. MY ASS. Tell that to the 1 million people who had to evacuate four months ago who are trying to get their lives back on track, tell that to the people who have to start all over from scratch, tell that to my mom who is crying everyday because she can't go back. I can't help but feel so lost sometimes, like I don't know where to go, what I should be doing. It just sucks. I thought I knew for sure coming to Colorado would be the right decision...now, I just don't know. It feels like we evacuated all over again, I just had an apartment waiting for me :). That's the only positive thing that's come out of all of this, I finally got my own place. But I'd give it back if I could go back home; I'd do anything to be rid of the overwhelming sadness that comes over me when I lay in bed awake at night, often bringing me on the verge of tears. Christmas this year sucks, but Happy Holidays to everyone anyway.

Well, I certainly know how this feels. I hope that Christmas day was a bit better. I really don't have too much else to offer...considering that I'm still in the midst of the devastation associated with losing my job, my home and my possessions. I can only tell you that after I looked at my life pre-Hurricane and recalled how dissatisfied I was with many aspects of it, it has helped me to better accept my current circumstances. I miss my friends and fam, but there's no where else to go but up from here.
