With each passing year, I become more confident in my abilities, more aware of my short-comings, more thankful for my friends and more certain of my opinions.
At 28, there's no need for make-believe. Pretending that you're okay when you're not is just silly. So let's get real:
We all have hard days, and even hard weeks. Everyone gets frustrated. Sometimes we cry.
And that's okay.
When the going gets hard, admit it. Process in whatever way you need to [personally, I'm a verbal processor...much to the chagrin of some of my sweet friends...!] and wallow for a minute, if necessary. Then find a way to pick yourself back up again.
Like...
Remind yourself what the Lord thinks about you.
Go outside.
Breathe.
Do yoga.
Spend time with people you love.
Laugh. Really hard.
Listen to some awesome music. And sing along.
Drive with the windows down.
Stop counting calories for a sec and eat something yummy.
Go dancing.
Escape into a good book or movie.
I have a wonderful life and 98% of the time, I'm fabulously grateful for it. But I have sucky days when I just need a hug and a vat of chocolate. I think it's empowering to admit that. I'm human, and the Lord created me to have emotions and needs.
Join me...& let's attempt to be real.
