Shocking...

I would like to begin this blog with a disclaimer: I'am not nor have I ever been emo, I'm not big on emotional heartfelt blogs unless of course it deals with a seething hatred towards certain video games and or movies. This is simply something I noticed over the last week or so, it suprised me and I'm really not sure why. (thats for those of you in the The Last Rolos)

Where to begin, Some of you I talk to more regularly know my story but for those of you who dont, here's some insight. About a year ago I lost my job, I worked for a contractor and I did most of his carpentry and drywalling, I got paid very well for it so needless to say it hurt financially when I lost that job. I went for a few months living on what I had but I quickly ran out of money, lost my car, I was sharing an apartment with a friend and he also lost his job so we lost our place, I pretty much would have been homeless without my parents. I live in Tennessee and I really couldnt find a job where I was so I talked to some family that I have here in northeast Ohio (where I was born actually) and a few people knew of some odd jobs for me to take here, so I came back and have been staying with random members of my extended family working on and off in construction and at a grocery store for the last 5 months.

Now I told that story to segway into this, I hate living here in Ohio, mostly because I really dont much care for city life, I've lived the last 10 years in the country and I do miss it, it really is a different way of life, its much slower and people are more casual, its a bit more laid back which suits me far better. And when you take my personality into account, the fact that I'm not a very emotional person, its gotten to the point at times that people have gotten mad at me for not reacting certain ways to some situations, I dont really get riled up over things, when something bothers me I usually just bottle it up. I realize that may not be the best way to deal with things but its how I am, I cant change it. What I'm getting at though, is that I dont usually get "emotionally attached" to anything or anyone for that matter very easily, I'm not the type of person who usually calls everyone my friend either, if I do call somone my friend we're probably very close and I would do next to anything for that person. As a matter of fact, the only reason I am in such a hurry to get back is because of three people, thats it.

What suprised me on the other hand, I've only been in this state for almost six months now. there's three people here who I did get rather close to and I will miss quite a bit, I never expected that to happen.

Well, that's good you care about those three people now. Expressing your emotions sometimes is important, especially if you've bottled them up for awhile. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, because I have that habit occasionally as well.

like you, a rarely ever get emotionally attached to anyone, I may be considered antisocial since some people think they could barge in on my life and become close and stuff and I just blow them off until they forget the idea completely... the fact that you got emotionally attached to people unexpectedly shows how true the relationship is, no one forced it to ay direction, it just went with the flow. I can't wait to move out,can't imagine how it felt to have t go livewithyour parents again after experiencing the free life, always kind of them though and we should always be thankful.

You will miss those three people, no doubt about that dude, but there's always msn and the idea of a get together

@Sparda_13: I guess what your saying is right, its just I never get close to anyone that quickly and it just freaked me out alittle is all. And I didnt mean it like I was never going to see them again, and I know the blog may have seemed at a depressing slant but thats not what I meant at all, like I said, I was just suprised at myself. And truth be told, it wasnt so bad going back to my parents, it has its pros and cons, living on your own means a sh!t load more responsability what with bills and all, but then you are under your parents roof again. so its a grass is greener thing really.

sorry. hope that you can get back soon

That sounds tough, having to give up a life stile that you've been used to for years for money thats why I want to stay in education for longer, I don't think im ready to go out into "the big bad world" so I admire you for that Its good life experience lol Theres nothing wrong with feeling attached to something or someone, but its your choice so im not going to bored you with my veiw on it, just as long as what you do makes you happy.

Hope you get back home soon

Well this was outta nowhere. Still, I knew all of this already and I would say one of the best things to do is write about it. One thing Ive learned is being able to express sorrow or pain with someone else is very important too. And you know all of us at the union will be around to listen

I'm also kinda like that... but it's good to talk about it when it's possible.

Like Sparda_13 said, you could always keep in touch with those three people with emails and instant messaging. And I sure hope that you get home soon.

I'm kinda the opposite actually. I become very emotionally attached to people right off the bat. If somebody goes out of their way to do something kind for me, I will make an effort to get to know them, so that eventually I may return the favor. If someone screws me over, a deep seated hatred is formed and I will, to the best of my efforts and within the law, attempt to screw them over aswell.


Anyways, those three people that you have grown close to in Ohio... I refer to those as connections. I have some great friends in Oregon, an ex girlfriend even. I never, EVER talk to them, but if I ever need anything, I know they have my back. Would you say your on those terms?

@Roman_Irishman: Like I said, not an emotional person, this blog was kind of outta the blue. And I'm not sure I would say that I'm exactly sad, Yes it will be sad leaving these people but then I'll be going home, so bittersweet I guess is how you'd put it. I'm not sorrowing over it, it was just something that started nagging at me and it took me awhile to realize what it was. @raven_squad: I know exactly what you mean, I have these "connections" all over the eastern seaboard, but where you and I differ most is that I wouldnt technically call a "connection" a "friend", to me a friend is somone you can call up at 3am because you need a lift to work its their only day off, and they'll come and get you without being pissed. I imagine everyone, like me, only has a few of those but many others they would refer to as casual friends or something similar. to where I on the other hand, if I say that I'm your friend, I'll do next to anything.
