settling down

it's been over a month now since my promotion, and i feel like i am settling into my grownup job (with the accompanying grownup pay and benefits - yea, baby!). i think everything is just kind of settling down. i'm starting to feel more settled and comfortable in my own skin and just generally more like old myself. i'm feeling more secure and at peace with the mistakes i've made and the tough choices i've had to make (whether i like them or not) over the last year or so. i'm looking forward to settling into a new home in a few months. i guess i'm kind of finding a nice little groove. it feels good. i would even dare to say i feel somewhat content. i'm not blissfully happy or anything... not even close. but, i am kinda starting to feel satisfied with my own imperfect little corner of the world.

and, it's summer(ish), so i'm enjoying being out and about. i'm loving yoga, which is a total surprise, but hey, i'll take it. i'll probably take some (free! gotta love the perks of the job) community college classes this summer - probably Spanish. the Rilo Kiley and Feist concerts are coming up, which i am super excited about. not to mention going to Seattle twice this summer (once for work, once for fun). i thoroughly enjoyed getting rap revenge on my brother courtesy of Rap Master Maurice. so yea, things are pretty good and it looks like this will be a pretty good summer. so yay for keeping my chin up (just barely!) and surviving some of life's suckiest bits.

Feeling it from dark to bright
When a wrong becomes a right
When a mountain fills with light
It's a volcano, it's a volcano
It's a volcano, it's a volcano

So much present, inside my present
Inside my present
So, so much past
