As it would turn out, it turned out to be so much more than just a job. I've made friends and established relationships with people at a minimum of ten years older than me. I didn't realize there would be such a large age gap at work... we're all at such different points in our lives. Charronda is in her 30's and has three kids, just like Jinny. But Jinny seems light years younger than Charronda. Brian, 29, has been dating Tanya for quite some time and she just turned 23. They're not in school. Kelly just graduated GA State and is taking a year off before going to law school. Branden is 28 and living with his girlfriend. I'm 19, and a sophomore in college.
We're all at such different point in our lives, its amazing to me that we can all get along so well. But, just tonight, I stayed a while after work to hang out with Dre and Brian (both well in their 20's and 30's) and talk. They had a few too many drinks, I had a few too many sweet teas (haha), and I can honestly say that I haven't laughed that hard in MONTHS. I laughed so hard, my chest still hurts. It felt good to laugh like that.
I always figured the next time I had a good laugh would be with my closest friends or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I laugh. I laugh a lot. But this was the first deep, intense, bring tears to your eyes you're laughing so hard laugh I've had in forever. I think my heart actually feels lighter tonight because of it; less heavy.
