Go away, October

Never have I ever experienced a more trying, emotionally exhausting, draining month in my entire life. I don’t think I can physically or emotionally handle another October experience.

In October, I…

• Moved into a new house.
• Went on a 10 day business trip on two day’s notice.
• Worked 18 hours a day for each of those 10 days.
• Lost two debit cards.
• Lost my Gramma Hershey Park after she suffered for 10 years.
• Had a guy call me his girlfriend for the first time in 3 years.
• Ignored my mom’s phone calls for 3 days while she was in the hospital because I thought she was still on vacation.
• Received an apology from my ex (whom I haven’t spoken to in 3 years) via text.

If October has taught me anything it’s that I need to reflect more on my current and past relationships because people aren’t around for ever. You often can’t control the shitty things that happen to you, they just happen. What you can control is how you relate to the people you want in your life for a long time to come.

Thanks, October for the massive amounts of (painful, trying, draining) learning lessons you provided. I’m done with you now.
