the cost of dreaming / heart uplift. 04.30.12.

I just wanted to take some time out of my hectic week and relay my progress [..]

I have started my job working at the homeless shelter and I honestly, have never been happier. the feeling of accomplishment and severe humility that comes with giving back and making a difference; awakens me to the person I always hoped to be. the residents well-being means the world to me and I am at a point, where mine should also [..]

I am now on a compulsive pursuit to make me greater. I have started working out everyday again and eating strictly organically. mark my words, I will get in the best shape of my life. I feel as if I have long last found my niche. happiness, abounds.

best,

I feel a tad bit guilty for being absent a couple of days and will not be fully back until late this week. however, I am finishing up my notices’ and feel incredibly exhausted most of the time [..]

I am about to embark on a monumental lifestyle change. after talking to the mother of one of my close friends for a couple of hours today-I feel fantastic about this impending shift. I have been in desperate need of a mentor / confidant and it felt wonderful to let some walls down. in actuality, I am a very private person and I rarely give people the ‘in’ on most of my thought processes. I befriend and talk to a lot of people at work, but once home I hang the likable persona up for a more docile temperament. sadly, this seems to have become my daily operation.

I am ready to change all that. I am gearing up for my new job, initiating a rigorous exercise routine and booking evenings in my social calendar. I need to start dating again although, I honestly do not give anyone the time of day. I am making myself a top priority and no one can discourage my progress. armed with a high and tight, plenty of eyeliner and a fresh pair of loafers; I am ready to take on the world.

luv,

mr. palermo.

sailing ship. 04.13.12.

things are about to get a whole lot better [..]

this week, I received a job offer from a homeless shelter in south orlando. after carefully weighing the decision, I have submitted my notice at target and the orlando science center. I will be working as a resident advisor for at-risk populations (individuals with mental health issues, substance abuse dependency and the disabled). I will be full-time salaried with benefits, have my own office, vehicle, and spending account for the shelter. I cannot wait to actually do something along the lines of both my degrees.

for the first time in a long while, I cannot keep from smiling.
