A year ago today...

I was looking through my snapchat memories today and realized a year ago today was such a weird time for me. I never really got to process my feelings or really look at the situation, I just thought the usual, ,“the only way through this is through and I’m gonna make it through this situation”, like I do in every tough time I encounter, so I figured what better way to cope than to write? I’ve been told it’s life changing so why not give it a try?

Well, here we go.

First, I should give a little bit of a background: I had moved into a new house probably a year before this incident, and the house wasn’t in the greatest of areas, and my first neighbor was addicted to meth, but when she moved out, we got this really amazing neighbor. His dog became best friends with our dogs, we were around the same age, and we had become decently close after seeing we had common interests. He was the best neighbor I’ve ever had so far, so naturally, it was a sad time when he moved out. We were surprised that the next neighbors were also around our age, and we seemed to have a lot of the same interests as well. I even shared the same first name with the other girl who was now my neighbor. We hung out for a few months, played some video games together here and there, and we seemed to get pretty close like we had with the last neighbors.

Now here’s where things start turning.

My man and I were pretty ride or die motorcycle riders (another story for another time), and my man enjoys trading motorcycles for other motorcycles. Earlier that year we had bought a 2008 Harley-Davidson Superglide and we wanted more of a touring model, so Brody goes to look for a touring bike to trade the superglide for. He found a Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic to trade straight across, but we had to drive to Oklahoma City for it, which luckily is only a few hours from where we lived. 

The next day, we pack up our bike to leave and ask our cool, friendly neighbors to watch our house for a few hours while we were gone. They had agreed and promised if anything happens to our house, they would let us know. Everything was good to go and we were on our way.

A few hours into the ride to Oklahoma and we ran out of gas and had to push the motorcycle on the side of the road. I had called for some assistance but they didn’t come for about 30 minutes of us pushing this bike. A little bump in the road but we weren’t gonna let that ruin our day.

We gassed up and got back on the road and finally made it to the little bike shop we were buying the Ultra from. Brody had asked to do a test ride just to make sure everything was running up to par like it was advertised. He starts the bike and within seconds, the engine starts smoking and when he goes to ride it, it rides like absolute shit. 

We ended up deciding that getting the Ultra wouldn’t be smart, let alone might not make it back home, but again, we weren’t going to let that ruin our day. We decided that at least while we’re here, to enjoy some good local food for dinner. We went to this cute pizza place and had some great pizza and salad and got ready for our trip back home.

About an hour into the ride home and it had started to rain and get extremely cold. We tried to stop at a few places for some “hot hands” to keep warm but ended up not being able to find anything, which in the long run, slowed us down a bit.

Finally, at around 9 o’clock that night, we had pulled into our driveway, soaking wet, freezing cold, and extremely uncomfortable. Now, normally when our dogs hear the bike pull in, they get excited and start to bark, which is still muffled through the walls of our home. Well, tonight was different. The barks were clear as day, and the second the first bark hit my ears, my heart dropped. I just knew something was wrong.

I hopped off the bike as fast as I could, and sure enough, our back door was cracked open, but it didn’t make sense how the barks were still SO clear. I ran through the door and up into the kitchen to find the kitchen air conditioner ripped out of the window, which my dogs kennels are right underneath the window, so there’s where the clear as day barks were coming from.

I go to check on my dogs, all startled, but no physical damages, then ran to check the rest of my house to find it had been ransacked through. Luckily, we had security cameras, though the idiots who broke in tried to take the wires out of the DVR, it still recorded everything and we had our culprit right there: our own next door neighbor. 

He stole a few thousand dollars worth of material items, then pretended like he would help us find the person who broke in. All while already owing me money from a previous loan, out of the good of my heart. 

This was the last time I tried to make friends. A year ago, I stopped putting effort into new friendships. A year ago, I really lost faith in humanity. A year ago, the me I was, was broken. I just couldn’t understand how time and time again, I can give people the world, and they’ll still turn around and take the universe too.

I love and hate this day. It marks such a terrible feeling, but it marks such a huge era of change for me. I’ve grown SO much this past year and at this point in my life, I’m just excited to see what this journey has in store for me.

Thanks for listening,

Pixie.

P.S. That did feel good, I’ll probably be back.

How can one place change the person you were before you walked through the doors. Today marks another appointment no 5 to be precise and today’s a scan an endovaginal ultrasound for it’s technical name. Haven’t the foggiest why but today I’ve been so emotional watching the clock tick past until I’m sitting here in a clinical waiting room with my litre of water wondering what the outcome will be. Strange isn’t it living in limbo is sometimes easy to deal with than knowing in 11 weeks we’ll know our fate and or we have more hurdles to climb. It honestly feels like I’m trying to push water up a hill, and throughout all of this knowing my 35th birthday is slowing around the corner and all we want is to sign one form which can only be measured to the gold ticket from willy wonka and the chocolate factory, and feeling it will never happen. #ivfjourney #ayearfromnow #nhs (at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq9_fKABp3F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4o1xa47mmq14

I dare you today to post this so a year from now Facebook can remind you or you can schedule it to post on Tumblr a year from now. I just did! What is that risk you want to take? Take it! And a year from now let’s see...did you take it? Was it worth it? Do you regret not taking it? Are you glad you didn’t? Did you completely forget about it? Where will you be? What will you be doing? #ayearfromnow #thistimelastyear #noregrets #takeachance #favequotes #fallinlove #tellhim #tellher #hopefortoday #liveyourdream (at Mississippi)

One Year From Now

A LETTER TO MYSELF

The date is 17th of December 2016, I write this at 1:20 am and I have just recently received my overall position. In a nutshell to describe what an overall position or ‘OP’ is in Queensland, Australia is what informs universities how a year 12 student did on the QCS exam ( Queensland core skills exam - SAT equivalent to Americans, GCSEs to those of the UK), where the lower the number, the better the position (1 being the best and 25 the worst). Social media plays a gigantic role in my life, specifically Facebook. And on Facebook I am a member of a discussion page dedicated to year 12 exit students and as the lead up of this daunting day ( the day when OP’s are released) this page is filled with memes relative to the QCS exams and the ridiculous questions within it or simply the hardships of senior year. Tonight the discussion page was filled with mixed posts; jokes about what jobs they’ll have to embark on for getting a 25, not going to uni or simply expressing their worried nature. Never myself have I posted in this discussion page but it really gave me comfort reading it just before I pressed refresh on the web page to get my result. I received my OP and didn't express any forms of pride or sadness to myself but instead I instantly began to think of how to move forward from this result as this number doesn’t define what I can amount to. Unfortunately, a majority of year 12 students will be informed what university they have been accepted into mid January and yet I am still hopeful that I am accepted into of my top 3 preferences. Presently, I find myself conflicted I want to travel however I do not currently have the funds nor will I get them anytime soon but on the other hand I would also like to go straight into university and study for my career. A year from now I will be 18 years 8 months and 27 days old. In one hand I want to be a wild party girl who drinks and doesn’t tie herself down to one guy (but also is responsible enough to protect herself in all aspects) but I want to be diligent, hard working and good with saving money. Overall, a year from now I want big things, I want a better job from where I am now, I want to have better body positivity or ever working for it, I want to have amazing time management, I want to have a great grade point average, I want to have a solid group of friends that have my back no matter what and i also want to have an impressive savings account. Present Zia wants a lot, but I expect that these wants become wills and haves.

A year from now I want more and will have more of myself to believe in. I’ll see you next year when 2017 is my bitch,

Zia.
