With school starting back next month and it being my masters program I’m a bit nervous. However I’m happy I graduated and had a little buffer before this new journey. I have to say it’s been a pretty weird summer though.
Traveling is what feeds me, recharges me, gives me peace. I always do it I always go somewhere this summer was suppose to be Athens Greece and I was oh so excited. However I just don’t feel fully comfortable traveling just yet especially out of the country.
It made me realize however the change is okay. I hated it I have a schedule I stick to down to the seconds. Without order there is chaos and I don’t believe in “ organized chaos” however within this year alone I’ve faced a lot of change and had no choice but to adapt. I was offered a job position in Seattle where I will one day live because it’s one of the most beautiful cities ever. However one moment everything was worked out and in the blink of an eye it fell apart. I felt myself slowly losing control because when things derail and don’t go as planned I panic.
But I took some deep breathes and reminded myself “sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together” it’s a hard mindset to keep especially when I wanted it really bad but maybe it just wasn’t for me or it wasn’t the right time and that’s okay.
Life is full of lessons and one I learned is sometimes we gotta make the most of what we have. I can’t travel far at the moment but I can still travel. There is so much I don’t even know about my own state because I’ve always been busy elsewhere. So I picked up my camera and journal. Went to lakes I’ve never been too, took back roads I would never take, found cute little diners and made the most of what I have. It’s not Greece but it’s something and it’ll do.
Do whatever feeds your soul even if it’s on a smaller scale, self care is the best care and the little things matter more than we sometimes realize! ?
