Confusing 'interesting' with 'dramatic'

I used to update this blog all the time, somehow I was able to write lengthy paragraphs of jabbering. But sometimes I like to look back over it all, just to see where I was back then. What sort of things were happening, what was my largest facing problem and how close was I to getting past it? 
These days, I just feel like I've nothing interesting to say. It's all the same drivel, tinged with jealousy at other peoples apparent blossoming lives. I don't like admitting it, but it's true, as much as I lack interesting stuff to say, I also feel I myself just isn't as interesting anymore. Then again, maybe I'm misinterpreting the word 'interesting' for 'dramatic.' At the start of the new year at various points of previous years I've always something going on, be it a new job, new home, relationship developments. I suppose having a pretty calm few months is a good thing. Sometimes no news is good news, i'm just not used to it. 
 
I did however make a small step in thinking about my future. I guess I'm thinking about the future all the time, but not really in the right way. I focus on how it seems to far away instead of thinking about how I can make progress on getting there. It just seems as though money is an issue, (when isn't it!?) it's an expensive way of life in the capital. The idea of owning a home feels completely out of the question, but so many people are doing it, why can't I? So, I decided to start saving now. I hope this government scheme will help, but then anything no matter how big or small, is better than nothing at all. I was thinking about telling Chris about it too, but held off for a while. I didn't want to make him feel pressured into being at the point I am when really he needs more time. But then again, it's a very good scheme which isn't very broadly advertised so I thought I'd mention it and see how he reacts. It was positive, and he later informed me that on his next day off he's going to his bank to open a similar sort of account. Maybe it's all just words, but if it is something he does too, it'll cut down the saving time in half! 
 
I also thought it would be a good thing to do in terms of independence. I mean, you don't know what the future has in store and as much as I want it to be him, things could change. I need to be prepared just in case. And these sorts of things can easily fly right before your eyes, just like last year. I think if I'm savvy about it, I should be able to pull together what I need in a little over a year. I hope so anyway, I've just got to stick to it!
But then there's thinking about where. Somewhere we both want to be, close enough to work and family...there's so much choice and it's a very stressful ordeal, I know I've got to be prepared. Maybe I should start researching now. 
I don't want to get my hopes up for something that might not ever happen, but I know if I put my mind to it, I'll get there in the end. And that's what I want next, progression. I don't want to feel like a student anymore, living in a different place every year. I feel like I need to be doing more with my life somehow.
