I blamed you for so long for who I became. It was much easier than facing that I allowed myself to become that.

There’s Something Therapeutic About it...

“Oh, don’t worry, life happens”

“Life is like a rollercoaster, there are ups and downs”

*insert more quotes about life now*

“Life” does happen, or more so situations happen which affect our life. These situations don’t always have the best outcomes, and can really affect us and make us stumble. In my case I had a plan for starting this year. I scheduled my time away for the next 3 months (rough scheduling at least), I planned where I was working, what time I would allot to work and how I would fit in school, work, adventure and everything else. That was at least until this week when thinks kind of shook and crumbled.

A series of events just pushed me to not be quite stable in my decisions or how these coming weeks would turn out, which leaves me consumed within my thoughts and spending my time worrying. Well, that’s when I am left to rest. Which I’m trying to not do.

I have been spending this week filling my time with work, writing, taking photos, recording video, planning a future, anything to keep me from facing the fact that life just happened. I am trying to find peace in being busy. Casey Neistat spoke on his vlogging, saying essentially;

There is something therapeutic about vlogging to keep his mind of the realities of life.

Well, that is in essence what I have been doing the past year and a half with my photography, and more so with the other creative outlets I have found. I try to fill my time that I would normally sit and process events so I simply don’t have to face the reality of life. I don’t advise this, but I simply don’t know of another way to cope with the punches that life throws me.

Last night I faced an event life threw at me, and you know that satisfying pop of a bottle being opened for the first time? The carbonation making a tiny explosion? Yeah, that was exactly how it felt, and even better. It’s like I'm back on the runway about to jump, knowing I am quickly running out of runway, but still running until I am forced to jump and push myself off the ground and into the air.

I would like to say I have closure for the event that transpired to then make me finally burst like that soda bottle, but I can’t. I don’t know if I ever will, what I do know is I can only run from life so long before I have to jump into the air. I then hit the ground facing the events of life once again until I get up and do it all again.
