Rambling as usual

[bluejeanbaby78]

So Light the Night is coming up in...two weeks? And I only registered now. :( This makes me feel like kind of a bad granddaughter. I'm a little worried I'm not going to get any donations this late in the game. I set my goal low, at $100 but last year I only raised $95 and like, 25 of that was my own, and the rest was only after some serious

You don't need to stop rambling, this is your journal.

I don't think you really have any right to get upset at people, no matter who they are, for not donating to a cause that you support. Granted, I'm sure that would be my first reaction, too, but it's really not fair. Everyone has their priorities.

Anyway, I hope things work out for you and Josh. Time apart can be good, even when it doesn't seem like it!

I know, I know. And I always try to remind myself to take a breath and remember that. It's just one of those things I kinda struggle with. It isn't fair to be upset with someone because they can't or don't want to donate. I just tend to get wrapped up in the personal aspect for me, and forget that not everyone sees it that way. I'm usually level-headed about it but I do occasionally slip.

And I'm hoping the time apart will be good. It's not exactly something I particularly want to think about, but if I'm being honest with myself, I know it will do a lot of good.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! I kind of felt like that at my last job (with a payday loan company) when I thought about customers taking out loans to pay for their highlights and manicures. Just gotta take a step back and... well, RUN. ;)
