Christmas Eve

Interesting.

Downtime at work means random article reading and etc. I looked up a cost of living calculator for fun. Is it accurate? I highly doubt it, but for a general feel it can't hurt. And it was fun. Each time I typed in a new city, I was instantly like oh man could I survive here? So expensive or I was like oh, not that different. Granted my rent right now is super cheap. Thanks to living with roommates. But still, it's fun. If I moved there and found a job, would be cool. Or if I stayed in this job and moved, that would be cool too (minus staying in this job, more like a different position same company). But everything is up in the air my friends. The world is full of uncertainty, and I will live in it.

Case in point. Act, go, and live. Screw up and get up.

Sometimes... I feel trapped by work. Stuck in an office. Stuck in a grind. It's been 6 months people. 6 months... crazy. I was sorta saddened when I talked to a friend and their bonus is more than a 1/4 of my yearly salary haha. But I've realized do I need that much more money? To live not at all. To save? Ya... it'd be nice. I could save more money for my brother and seminary that much faster. Or any other significant life events. Objectively, I would be tithing more money than I am now. Etc. That being said, please let me know if you or someone you know is going on missions. I would like to support them if I can. Although please don't abuse this, I'm willing but I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination guys.

Oh life... that's right I said a happy post. This one isn't that sad at all in my opinion. But happier things. I'm leaving work early to go home for Christmas Eve. Get to see my family. Spend Christmas with them, and then come back Christmas evening so I can work the following day. But overall, things are relatively chill here at work so no complaints. In reality, I don't have much to complain about. I'm blessed in so many ways. I'm blessed when I shouldn't be. And so I give a little smile to God. And say thanks. Sorry about the mess, but thanks. So despite all my bitter invectives, when it comes down to it, the only complaints and charges that I truly hold are against myself. Which in the light of God's forgiveness and through spending time with Him, will fade. So this isn't a bubbly happy, this is a reminder of where I draw my happiness from. I'm sure I'll have a bubbly happy post within the next couple weeks, probably just because of snowboarding achievements that I hope to make. Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas everyone haha. Dunno if I'll write a post tomorrow in time to say Merry Christmas.

EDIT
Just read this... oh garsh. Haha
