I decided to start a new blog, due in part to boredom at work and due in part to a renewed commitment to start writing again. I'm also trying to motivate myself to do something productive and meaningful with my life so maybe this will help me get in touch with what I really want to do.
I have been reluctant to blog in the past because it was so public and I didn't want to reveal anything too personal. I guess I need to make sure this thing isn't searchable by my real name or my email address... I chose Violet as my screen name because it is the name of the street I grew up on.
I am 30 years old and I work for an elected official. My job is to represent him in the public while he is in Washington. It is a respectable job.
I have been dating my boyfriend for just over a year. He recently lost his job and is now unemployed. This has caused me a significant amount of stress, as we had been discussing the prospect of getting engaged prior to him losing his job. He doesn't seem to have any direction or idea of what he would like to do next. He received 12 months' salary as a severence agreement which has taken away any sense of urgency in his search.
Honestly, I'm not sure if he is The One. This causes me anxiety. He says I get mad at him too often, which is probably true. I am trying to be more easy going about things, to relax and trust in God. He is going to Pittsburg this weekend for a wedding and I am going to visit my best friend out of town. So maybe the time apart will do us some good.
