She's Doing Just Fine

Living an adventure filled life out in the Pacific Northwest, while doing my best to keep my head above water.

8:00pm and I’m simply trying to watch S1:E1 of Outer Banks and browse homes I can’t afford on Zillow, but I’m constantly getting interrupted by work calls, messages, and texts… and they wonder why burnout is so prevalent in my field…

Day 1 of attempting to dedicate myself to a slower paced life.. So much is being lost in our current society and I want to practice and preserve my mindfulness and intentional living.

Going to bed early last night was extremely helpful. This morning, I was able to love on my future husband, make coffee, make myself a simple breakfast, walk my dog, and drive to work while listening to one of my favorite podcasts. This pace of life will be really good for my mental health and I hope I can keep it up.

This afternoon, I am hoping to be productive at work, go to the gym, and eat leftovers for dinner along with a nice salad while I peruse homes for sale on Zillow.

Sometimes being an adult is fun.

Watching many women at the airport on their phones with books in their laps. I think “how sad” and then realize I am currently that woman..

This feels like a message from the universe today.. Unbelievably relevant.

Let's just move to Alaska, stare at the mountains, and meditate forever.

Someone gave me a cucumber sandwich recipe.

Nothing special, simply: sliced cucumbers, mayo, salt, pepper, bread.

As a lifelong vegetarian, I got excited. It must be good if someone is recommending it. NOPE. It was hardly mediocre.

It was as it sounds. Cucumbers on bread..

I feel myself slipping into my depression habits...

They creep in so slowly I don’t even notice them at first. I find myself falling into the sofa each day after work to watch a show, becoming lazy about meals and settling for the fastest dinner to microwave, sitting down in the shower and genuinely thinking about nothing.

I’ve started to pick fights with people I love and end up smearing tears into my pillowcases each night… this isn’t my first time in a place this dark.

I feel lucky though because I recognize this pain within myself and have a desire to feel differently. It’s not an easy feat, but I know this season is temporary.
