Back at it??

 Hey! It's been awhile since I've posted, a lot of life has happened.  - I've had a lot of time to experiment with finding what gives me joy, creating some balance, learning lots of things and of course with many mistakes and frustrations in between. It's taken me a very long time to get to the place that I'm at and although I still have a long road ahead of me I'm happy with the progress I've made. Especially in the past few months.  -  Writing really helps me work through my thoughts and express what's important to me.

turning a day around

to be honest, i started this morning feeling heavy hearted for no specific reason. just one of those days. as i went to my third class of the day all i wanted to do was curl up and sleep away the hours. i almost couldn't make it through the class just because of how difficult it was to focus. a clouded mind and my slumping shoulders brought me to my next class that surprisingly ended earlier than it normally does- i then looked at my phone to see notifications from friends in town for the week. they seemed so overwhelming and i was tempted to ignore all of them, sit in the library and listen to some somber songs and wallow away in my feelings. instead, i lead myself to my car. i drove to their house and made an effort to socialize with the people who are always there for me. after that visit, came another and then a phone call with someone else who was then reaching out to me. i could have sat in that library and let my thoughts get the best of me, but decided to turn the day ar
