Emotional pain rivals physical pain every day. We’ve all been through a breakup and the pain that ensues. But when does it go away? I wanted to write about this for some time, but couldn’t find the “right” words for a topic like this. It’s easy to write about now that I’m on the “other side”.
If you’re going through something right now, I wanted you to know it gets better. I promise. I hope my thoughts help anyone dealing with this.
I’ve been working on this blog for weeks . . . Time Anxiety; the fear that we don’t have enough time to do what we need to do. On a professional level we all feel it on a microscopic level, but as a parent, friend, family member, and human we feel it on a macro level.
Do I have enough time to teach my kids to be good humans?
Do I have enough time to leave my mark on the world?
Do I have enough time on this earth?
You might wonder why a photo from my wedding is the photo I choose for a blog on memories? The reason is that honestly, despite the marriage not working out, it was still one of the best days of my life (although it’s taken me quite a few years to circle back to this conclusion). Standing in front of my friends and family & being married by my little brother, was one of my fondest memories. And with that explanation. . . here’s my take on some good & some bad memories!
Life has been so crazy lately, right? Not crazy “busy”, or crazy “fun” . . . but just crazy (or closer to crazy “scary” or crazy “stressful”). Nothing about the way things have been for the past 8 weeks is normal, and for a social extrovert like me, it’s been nothing short of difficult. I thought I’d talk a little about my experiences and a few lessons ‘Rona taught me.
Perspective is something that’s difficult to see/understand because when you’re “in the moment”, it’s difficult to see your life and experience unbiased. It’s something that
It’s been a little while since I last wrote. It’s certainly NOT because I don’t have anything to say. I suppose, I just wanted to
Tonight I stood up in the wedding between my two friends, Paul & Carla. Despite the way my wedding turned out, I LOVE weddings. Will
I wanted to share with you all a dream I had. It’s one of my favorite dreams (if that’s a thing). But I need to
This is a blog I wrote over several weeks. That hasn’t been my pattern in the past. Getting left behind is a difficult thing. It’s a terrible feeling and something I think about all the time. Because of the nature of writing about a “current” and very STRONG feeling, this one took me a few weeks to write, read, re-write, read, edit, read, and write again.
Believe it or not, this will be my 24th blog post since I started. Some I think have been good, and some have been average. But they’ve all been honest and real, that’s for sure. I’ve also now had 6,700 reads on my blog, so I’m honored to have my thoughts read by so many in such a short time.
I hope you enjoy this one. It’s just about as real as it gets. Comment, share and let me know that you stopped by!
