Where I am (draft that I didn't finish)

Ever had a guy do something completely unexpected and sweet for you? I mean something that you will never forget. Not surprise flowers, not an awesome gift, nothing like that. Honestly doing something for you. Thinking enough of you to do something simple and yet meaningful.
I never had, until last night. Last night, I sat on the living room couch

Wrote this draft August of '11. Posting because it's good enough

Life after college is an adjustment. All of my close friends are either still off at school or far away in their hometowns. I work nearly every single day thanks to my two jobs. I went from living on my own to living with my mom and what sometimes seems like hundreds of siblings. I lost the motivation I had for job searching and yet, I know that I am not where I want to be. Still okay with life, but aware that I won't be happy here for too long.

How long is too long? I don't know. I'm starting to feel the pressure now. Perhaps my years of off to school, back home, rinse and repeat have given me a limited amount of time to be happy living at home. I think that time is expiring. My career path is not showing any obvious signs of the right direction.

Suddenly it seems that where I left off on my career path, others are picking up my broken promises and bringing them to me. This is a process that gives me a small glimmer of hope only to fade away with internal frustration.
