the last six months have been nothing short of unfamiliar territory, chaos, craziness, stress and a lot of humble moments.
I made the crazy choice to start taking classes at the beginning of year, finished my first semester, started summer classes two weeks later, finished that in two weeks and started again. In between working full time, plus more, (trying) to balance being a wife, being a mom, volunteering, trying to make time for some relaxation, learning how to slow down but also go fast.... it has been stressful but yet rewarding.
The chaos has made me appreciate that I am not superwoman, and how I don't really want to be now. Stepping into a territory that was scary for me, showed me how strong I was, actually showed me strength I never thought I have, mentally and emotionally.
I failed many times as a wife, as a mom, as an employee, as a friend, as a daughter and more in the last six months than I can even count, but man, I have so many supportive people in my life that never get out of my corner. How this has humbled me to make me see that if I need help, to ask. If I need to rest, I am allowed to. If I need a break, I can take one.
We often hear, it is okay to not be okay. But let's start normalizing that it is also okay to be okay! It is okay to do hard things, it is okay to find yourself in a space you have never been in before, it is okay that you cry at moments when you should laugh and vice versa. Life throws you curve balls, change ups and wild pitches, it's how we play them that matters.
The craziness of the past six months has given me patience and given the people around me even more patience. Patience is not my strongest virtue, not even a little bit. I am learning to a little bit each day, even if it is a mico-ounce, I am learning. This season is hard, this season will get harder, I can't say the chaos is fun or I may or may not be taking more melatonin on the weekends to sleep, but I can say I am all around blessed.
she is impatient, she is a little weird, she is strong, she is brave.... she is me.
and so she did...keep going to not only prove to others, but to prove to herself, that SHE CAN!
