Taking a Minute

I’ve spent the last month and a half being so busy that I haven’t had time to really stop and be in the moment. Hours turned to days which turned to weeks. The routine of waking, working, homework, meeting, sleep became such a blur that I started losing my sense of time and reality in the process. As I’m lying here now, typing this out on my phone, I’ve realized this is the first time in a while that I’ve really had time to stop and write out how I’m feeling.

I also realized that the only reason why this is, is because my body has forced me to do so.

Burning Out to Prove Myself

I was texting a friend today and I mentioned that I felt exhausted and would probably burn myself out soon. We got into a discussion about how I push myself and it reminded me that I often push myself too hard to prove to myself that I’m doing enough.

“Embrace Your Face!” “Yeah…Maybe Someday…”

I’m honestly the last person to follow this rule, but I feel like more people should embrace their face and love the way they look.

I’m guilty of trying to fix my face and hide my imperfections, to create the illusion that I’m as gorgeous the people around me. I’m guilty of avoiding pictures because I don’t like the way I look. I’m guilty of trying to find ways to make myself look as lovely on the outside as I am on the inside.
