Hello All,
I'm new to this world of blogging, but for some reason I feel the need to express myself, and what better way than by writing!! Lets see.....
I just moved to Las Vegas a couple of months ago and boy am I out of my comfort zone!! I'm so used to being surrounded by family day in and day out. But I am adjusting. One thing that I've learned while "being by myself" (I'm really not secluded all day. I do get out) is how to be comfortable with myself. For once I don't have the distractions that normally caused me not to be me. If that makes sense. I'm learning how to love my flaws and faults. Learning how to entertain myself and not wait for someone to do it for me. I took myself on a date this past weekend and it was by far the best date that I've ever had. Great conversation (yes I talk to myself...but not in a crazy sort of way....lol), good food, fantastic shopping, and for the first time I was so comfortable with me that I took myself to a movie all by my lonesome. Now for some this may not seem like a great feat, but seriously I just "climbed a mountain"!
Now living in Vegas is something that I think no amount of preparation would be enough to suffice. The people here are something else!! Now don't get me wrong I have encountered my fair share of shady people, but Vegas takes the word shady, dresses it up in Armani, has it dripping with diamonds and then politely SCREWS you!!! Trust me I've experienced this. And once the experience was all over, the shady guy in his Armani and Diamonds said "Shit happens....Welcome to LAS VEGAS!! So I am still trying to adjust to this move.
I understand that I do have my gripes about Vegas, but not all is bad! I have a great job and while it has its own stresses associated with it, I don't regret taking the job at all. I'm starting to see how resilient I am. Things are a little hectic but I am persevering. I may have to take a seat some days to recoup, but the next day I'm back at it. There may be times where I seem a little down or "not myself", but I see it as God showing me just how much I can bear. And I'm seeing that its ALOT more than what I initially thought!
I think I could get used to this whole blogging thing! Stay tuned!!
Be Blessed

You have my support!
First, I think your honesty is a testament to your self-development. (BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!) Being in a new place both internally and externally can be overwelming. LV is a city based on external relationships. The introduction of anything real could rattle the foundation of what it was established on, "ENTERTAINMENT." Please remenber that! In conclusion, stay the course and "keep your head up!"
Hey lady! Welcome to the blogging world and my apologies for coming to check you out so late!
It's amazing what draws us to journal...or now in the new millennium call blogging.
I'm so proud of you for taking that leap...all of them! Moving out of your comfort zone, loving yourself, & dating yourself. I'll send you some batteries!! LOL! j/p (sike, I'm serious). My away from home experience over these last 8 years (wow, 8 years) has be amazing! Amazingly good, bad, ugly, but at the end of the day, I'm still standing - Thanking God & Loving Life.
All jobs will have stresses and I've found no perfect city yet, so take it all in stride as it sounds like you are.
I love you!
Write/journal/blog! I need to see more posts young lady! =)
