BlogDate 3/10/08

So re-welcome to my blog. Anyway, I wanted to type/think about something. So lately (basically since shortly after moving back to Hawaii) I've not felt happy. I mean sure, there are the days that are fun...its a short lived happiness. So I've been trying to think of what makes me happy. I'm confused...I have no idea. I just know I am not very happy. I mean, I'm good at pretending. if someone were to ask me right now, "How are you doing?" I'd probably answer, "Great, how are you?" I've been thinking...Maybe Hawaii just isn't for me anymore....or maybe its because I'm single. Maybe I don't know. I've got a decent job (could use a pay raise), I have a place to live, I have friends. I'm kind of in a comfort zone. If I were to leave Hawaii, I'd leave my home for the past almost 9 years. That'd just be weird. But I think it may be a good thing. Its getting very expensive to live here. And theres no end in sight.
So now its all about options. I am seriously thinking that if I want to stay living here...I need a 2nd job. I've got debt that I'm trying to pay off but its not moving fast. Haha. I want to invest money and plan for retirement. I want to own a place. I'd like to get my degree. I know that none of these will happen overnight, but its my to do list.
So....options:
>Live here...get a 2nd job.
>Move and hopefully find a place thats cheaper and a better paying job.
>Anything else anyone can think of. Haha

Leaving your comfort zone is hard, that's for sure, but you've done it before when you felt like you needed to get away. Why not try it again?

Or maybe a less drastic change would bring you some satisfaction. Any ideas on what you might like/be able to do for a second job? Paying off debt always feels good...and it's much less drastic than moving to a whole new place.

I hope things get better for ya soon
