What’s up y’all? Been a few days since I’ve put anything up here. Been busy with finishing packing up some boxes to move. Trying to figure out everything and how to get all of my belongings back home has definitely been a hassle. I feel like even with trying to get everything taken care of there’s just no way to do it all…
Thankfully I’m in contact with my brother a lot during this period. Between packing boxes, selling my stuff and just outright donating things it’s nice that I can still play some Star Wars Battlefront in between things. Honestly just gaming has been huge stress relief for me for years. More so when you can sit back with family or friends and interact in a fun and bonding way.
With me moving back across the country it’ll be kind of bittersweet. Over the years I’ve become really close with my brother… Won’t be able to go just catch a movie with him or hang out on his couch and watch shows together. Though we’ll still have internet and Xbox so there’s still ways to spend time together.
As I was playing Battlefront with him tonight I had a thought concerning moving things back. Rather than shipping things back a box or two at a time perhaps I could have a palette loaded with boxes sent back all at one time. I’m still working things out but it’s kind of sad that even when spending time with my brother I’m having to consider all this stuff. All due to just a lack of respect for boundaries and in general lack of caring about them.
Maintaining a smiling, “happy” face around my roommates is just incredibly psychologically draining. Having one of them ask every other day something to the effect of “Hey once you move can I have this? Hey if you’re selling that would you sell it to me for really cheap?” It’s just exhausting y’all. Which brings me to the life advice portion of this post….
If you ask God for more patience? He’ll give you PLENTY of options to exercise and thus grow your patience. See it’s like a muscle, you never use the patience you already have then you’ll never have more patience. The adage of wisdom comes with age? Definitely true. Thing about being wise in any sense of the word? It typically comes from reflecting on the results of experiences that ended in pain or trauma.
I’ve dealt throughout my adult life with family or friends being like Richard? Patient? You’ve got to be kidding me. Here’s the thing though, I don’t REQUIRE belief in me. I’ve started simply proving it by my actions. As it is I have more right than anyone to complain about my situation. However that’s essentially the same thing as my roommate giving excuses about why went into my room and ate my chicken wings.
Instead I’m simply being decisive with my choices. With roommates, lease responsibilities, getting ready to move etc.
There’s a sense of….peace about the way things are moving. Ebb and flow, Twi and La….
Avatar the Last Airbender is a series I adore. SO much wisdom in an animated series not to mention I watched this series with my brother. I’m a huge nerd so it’s almost mandatory I pepper some nerdy references here and there. I’ve mentioned it a few times on my blog about gaming with y’all. So, that in mind I’ve decided to share my Xbox Live Gamertag with you. Maybe y’all will be able to join me for some Battlefront or something. 😉
I can’t assure y’all that I’ll be online regularly or anything in the upcoming months just due to moving and whatnot. But leave a message when you add me that you’re from my blog and I’ll go ahead and add y’ll back as soon as I can.
My gamertag is Urb4nGlitch9197. Hope to see y’all online and May the Force be with y’all.
Rapha Yada my friends,
