Recently I went on a photography adventure-lesson with my friend Jon, who let me use his insanely expensive equipment. One comment I received from a man in a coffee shop we passed through said "Wow, that is a LOT of camera!" to my huge zoom lens. (Huge zoom lens being a very technical term, hahahaha.) But this photo, I must say, I am VERY proud of!! (click it to see it bigger)
This is one I got of Jon!
Today..and really over the past month, I've been learning the hard way that adults can be more childish than children. It applies to all areas of life, really, but the one that I've most been affected by is where the people I have been working for are concerned. Even a family friend has stopped talking to me because I told her I couldn't take care of her child this coming year, as originally planned (never mind the fact that PLENTY of notice was given- 6 weeks actually). Another boss decided to simply cut all my hours because I "was leaving anyway", without letting me know she'd gotten a replacement, and unconcerned with the fact that I NEED AN INCOME until I leave!
I'm hurting for cash as it is, and have rationed out my checking account for gas for the next 3 weeks...ok bunny trail...
But anyway, each person that has been acting this way, I've addressed calmly and maturely with whatever the issue may be, and the response has been merit-worthy of a highschooler. And that's really disappointing. I hope and pray that my maturity continues to grow as I age, and that I can be an example like Timothy in my love, faith, and purity. Maybe some of that will rub off on others. But overall, it's good I'm experiencing this. It will make me a more resilient person.
On a lighter note, Meleia and I indulged once again in Pride and Prejudice. The best love story. We'll probably dream of Darcy! (insert girlish squeal here ____ )
