♫♪ Coldplay – Magic
It seems like my time here has been up and down, like a roller coaster ride that I didn’t really want to get on, lately. Getting used to various personalities, styles, people and places is a bit harder than what we always expect. I don’t know about you, but I often look too far in advance. Thinking 5, 10, 15 steps ahead with the expectation that things will go just as I expect. I often imagine life with very little difficulty, minimal challenges and consider new chapters to come at ease.
After a sunny, warm and engaging week came a very busy week and then this week had a sudden drop. With my father’s birthday coming and going and with me in London, I realized that I wasn’t going to be there at “daddy’s birthday”. The realization makes you think of all the challenges that you’re currently drowning in and all of a sudden you are stuck in the middle of an ocean without a lifeboat.
I’m currently at the point where I need others to give me positive reinforcement. Need them to text me nice things, leave sweet messages, phone me to tell me they’re thinking about me. This might be the lowest point, but sometimes it’s nice to know that there is a light and it has never been turned off.
This weekend I have the simplest of plans with dinner with a girlfriend, walks on the embankment, a quiet afternoon in a cafe. Hope you have the brightest, most wonderful of weekends ahead. xo. -S
