In the last 72 hours, I've had to experience two firsts since my world changed a couple months ago.
It's been hard, but I'm grateful for the quiet moments I've had to myself to think, reflect and feel what's in my heart without explaining it to anyone else.
Some people will simply never realize that I will never pick up their phone call.
Text is ALWAYS preferred!
Seriously do you know me AT ALL?!? Clearly not...
I feel like something is wrong with me.
Why aren't I scrambling? Why aren't I stressed? Why aren't I doing anything I can to stay?
Did I function in 'fight or flight' mode for that long that I'm just numb to it all coming to an end?
I hope I get a sign soon on what is next!
Feels like it's not ok to be ok...
There have been tears and sadness, but there is also relief and confidence.
So if you ask if I am ok and I say yes, please believe me and don't make me feel like it's not ok to be ok.
Silly me...
Here I am thinking that for the last week or so you were really making an effort.
But the reality is that you simply weren't given the opportunity to screw up.
Those two things are not the same at all.
I often tell my kids to 'use their resources', but I rarely take my own advice - often convinced I can do everything on my own.
Well yesterday I took a small step in using my own words of wisdom, so we'll see how it turns out.
