Hold On, Darling.

I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.

Some Things I Learned After the Storm

Take care of yourself. Surround yourself with good friends. Be a good friend. Forgive those who have hurt you even if they don’t ask for it. Apologize when you make mistakes. Don’t let them change you. Don’t let their thoughts get into your head. If they don’t accept who you are, fuck them. Drink lots of water. Don’t skip breakfast. Look into the mirror and if you don’t like what you see, work on whatever it is until you stop looking away from every bookstore window, the bathroom mirror. Don’t let time wither away. Use it. Smile. There is comfort in being alone. And being sad. Not a lot of people around you understand this. Not a lot of people understand you. Look for those people. They exist. Put yourself out there. Write until you heal. There is something nice about being okay. There will be moments when it seems you’ve lost the passion you once had. It has never left. It never will. Value it. Acknowledge it. Appreciate those who love you but let them go when you know you can’t give them what they want. What they need. This too is love. Take care of yourself - there are people who love you and who knows? Along the way, you just might learn to love yourself too.

My doctor said we can’t choose where we come from but we can choose where we go from there. I know it’s not all the answers but it was enough to start putting these pieces together.

Too many young people being pressured to have their life together instead of just enjoying it.

Growth

Wow, hello tumblr. It’s been quite awhile and to be totally honest, I haven’t really missed you. So I know that probably seems strange, but let me explain. I think I used this blog when it was important for me to use it. I was young, lost, and felt alone a lot of the time, so I found a friend in this blog. It was home, a safe, comfortable place where I could post some of my deepest thoughts; most of this occurred in middle and high school and my very early parts of college. During the last two years I’ve grown, I’ve changed, I’ve evolved into someone who I didn’t even know existed before. I’m doing the things I’ve always dreamed of, I’m accomplishing goals and trying things that, frankly, scare the shit out of me, but I couldn’t be happier with where this crazy life has led me. By no means is my life perfect and by no means am I exactly where I want to be, but I’ve learned that change takes time and though it takes time, change is constant. As fond as I am with the time I spent creating this blog, I’m afraid to return. I’m afraid I’ll revert back to the insecure, scared, child who once found refuge here. The time I’ve spent away has been freeing. On my own, I’ve learned how to free myself of stress, negativity, and toxic relationships and replacing those feelings with laughter, positivity, and daily doses of coffee. Every time I scroll through this website, I feel like I’m walking through quicksand that sucks me into a black hole of negativity that I can’t escape. I feel stuck and helpless and it hurts me to see everyone struggling. When I freed myself from this darkness, I slowly searched for the light in the world, and I’m so glad that I found it because some of life’s greatest pleasures can be found in the smallest things. That’s why, if I return, I don’t want to contribute to the negativity that we already face in this world. Life can be tough, but I truly believe that if you go out and search for happiness, you’ll find it, even in the littlest things. So welcome to a little slice of happiness.

So tomorrow morning at 9 AM I will be taking a walk across campus to pick up a little white envelope with my name on it. In that envelope it will tell me if I’ve worked hard enough, been involved enough, impressed enough people, and convinced the board that I can be a successful pharmacist and an asset to the profession. Tomorrow morning I will find out if I get to spend 4 more years in a place I love, with fantastic people, accomplishing the most difficult thing I’ve ever set out to do. Tomorrow I will find out if I will ever have the title Doctor of Pharmacy. Tomorrow is a big day. A day I’ll hopefully look back and remember as one of the best days of my life. It’s crazy to think that my dream could potentially become a reality in just a few short hours. So here’s to (hopefully) 4 years of white coats, stress, and lots and lots of drugs

Music and sleep, two great ways to escape from everything.

Self reminder: you’re still young and you’re not supposed to have your whole life figured out yet. Don’t stress. Everything will work out.

So stop waiting for Fridays, and stop waiting for summers, and stop waiting for someone to fall in love with you, because those things will happen. But in the meantime, enjoy right now
