Finding Candyland

I sitting here at work while my boss is gone on her dinner break thinking about the positive things that have been happening to me lately. Thing time last year I was in a relationship, I had a ton of friends (I'm pretty sure I had gotten over the mishap of 2010 at this point), I didn't think anything could get any better or worse. Little did I know a few days later my life would start to take a downward spiral straight to the toilet. I was broken up with over text messaged, threatened to stop speaking to my (at the time) best friends and ex-roomies, and my other best friends stop talking to me for one reason or another. Of course all this happened over a 4 month period but it was just piling on and I didn't think that it was ever going to get easier or better. So over the 4 month period I turned to the 5 (now 3) people that could always get me through anything; the members of Paramore. With their upbeat music and meaningful lyrics I was able to find a song that fit with every problem I had to deal with and with every song always came a positive ending things will get better. I had a hard time believing at first. But if Paramore's lead singer and lyricist Hayley Williams could get past everything she sings about then so could I. So here it is August 2011 and I have finally reached candyland. I still have a select friends that have been my friends since as long as I can remember, but I also have a few new friends. My roommate Nicole is amazing. We clicked right away and I dearsay that we will be friends for a very long time even if she moves back to Nova Scotia. Then there my friend Jonathon from Marystown who did have a very good first impression on me at first but he's grown into someone that I feel I can talk to and have a good conversation with. And then theres Chris. Chris is very special to me. No we're not dating (yet) but he is more then I could ever ask for. He is someone I can turn to that won't just sing lyrics at me (no offence Paramore). To be entirely honest I could probably blame him for about 75% of my happiness. Losing him would be a major blow. But as for now I'm happy and would love to remind everyone that just because you're having a rouch time now doesn't mean it's going to last forever... it can only get better.
