Things I was told
I have been told a couple things this past couple of weeks that I find at the least bit noteworthy.
First off, I was told since I was leaving Provo I should at the very least confess my undying love to someone. This exchange came as I chatted with a friend about my frantic search for apartments in KC and the struggles of moving. He thought it would be fun to do just to change the stress levels in my life. He had suggestions as to who I could make such declarations to and why they would be prudent to do. I ignored this bit of advice.
Secondly, I have been told many many many things about benefits and new jobs and financial changes that will be occurring over the next little while in my life. The best line from people unnamed was “Don’t be a cheap ass bastard, splurge on yourself every now and then” It makes me laugh only when I think of the thick Texan accent it was said in.
Lastly, I was encouraged my father to not delay in my educational pursuits. This has actually been told to me a couple of different time but altogether it was the same. It was something about once being out of school over time parts of the brain shut down due to inactivity that you don’t otherwise use.
It is not like I have had time to really process these things, but it was one of those things on the back of my mind this afternoon.
