Slow Dancing with Yourself




Yesterday I had a conversation about taking time for yourself despite the crazy busyness that we delve into, which I think is a part of our culture. I was telling my friend that it is important to take time for yourself and in those moments, you will know what to do in terms of which way to go, which path to take and those questions that we all want answered.



This seems to be a theme in my life as of late, as I recall having this same conversation with two other friends as they held me in my moment of deep feeling -which I was thoroughly appreciative of.



At the same time that I was giving this advice though, I realized that I also need to be taking it. Being off from school seems to be very short lived for me. I went through a moment of just wanting to have everything done and over with so that I can take the much needed time to relax. I went through a hectic period getting my last paper out and found that I had literally checked out ages ago. I didn't want to do it and I just wanted it to be over with. It has been a long year, of a lot of looooong commutes, hard work and effort and I was ready for it to be over. And I am beginning to realize that it is okay. It is okay to feel those feelings and be with it, no matter how uncomfortable they may be.



So I have decided to be with myself this summer and enjoy it-and this is okay!



Wishing you light,




S
