This is all over the place

Wow. In a flash things can get hectic. We can become consumed with projects, to do lists, work, and so much more. This was me this week. I'm consumed by the fear that in less than 3 weeks, I don't have a place to live. It started to take me over. It's been a huge point of stress, and it's been on my mind so much. These seasons of life suck.

I believe that it is always important to have times when you can just relax, times when you will be free. Because there are always better things out there, and there is always room for improvement. We ALL have so much to learn out of our lives, and so much that we haven't experienced. Routines can be very good, but it can be easy to become too comfortable in them. This is why I'm okay with sitting home alone some nights. This is why I want to do new things. I don't want to become stuck doing the same things all the time and therefor missing out on great opportunities. I need to slow down more. I need to relax and remember to breathe. It's good to find people that you can do that with. It's good to have people that you know you can count on. Because sometimes we just need someone listening so when we say the words "I'm not okay", they are heard. Heck, sometimes we just need to be heard. Knowing that we're heard can make all the difference.

I'm entering a new chapter in my life very shortly. I'm going to be a new person, but the old me that I love and can put a smile on my face won't ever be gone. "I just feel comfortable talking to you". Those are words that before a few nights ago I haven't heard in months. I haven't heard since I left MA. Those words express who I am. I'm so glad that I'm able to show that side to someone if even just for a little bit, and that they respond to it. This is how connects form and awesome friendships begin for me. "I get by with a little help from my friends" I'm thankful for new beginnings and fresh starts. As sure as I am of anything, I know that the sun will rise tomorrow. The light is there to give you the strength to look into your own eyes. Can you do it? Can you say you love the person staring back at you?
