To say this has been an awkwardly rough week would be an understatement. I'm used to having bad days, but having a bad week has taken a lot out of me. If I'm one thing, it's easily discouraged, and that's a hard battle to fight. It's one thing about myself I desperately want to change.
And that's another thing: change. I feel like I always crave change, but once I have it, I just want things to go back to the way they were. Familiarity is my crutch. For the first few nights at my new apartment, I'd find myself wide awake at midnight in my new bed wondering why I thought it was such a good idea to move out of my parents' place. I spent all of my college years wishing for a Monday through Friday job with weekends off to find myself wishing I could get brunch on the beach on a Tuesday.
However, with change comes adjustment, and I always adjust. I suck it up, roll with the punches, create new familiarity. Sometimes, all it takes is a little inspiration. A rant and rave fest with my mom, a meeting with a manager, a pep talk with my boyfriend. It's a slow process, but I'm always learning and [hopefully] always growing.
On the flip side....it's Friday. And I'm going to Rainbow River tomorrow. So life could be a lot worse. And with that, I'm closing the file on my pity party. Here's to a productive and inspiring Friday, full of positive change. XO
