These days, I feel a bit stuck. Maybe it’s the summer air calling me away from my swept under the table to-do-lists, or it's just a stage in my life that is challenging me to make some change. Every day when the sun disappears into the night and the moon greets us with a glowing hello, I light an incense and reflect on the simple moments; moments that were present and pure: a smile from a passing stranger, a real conversation with a friend, a song that brought an unexpected sensation of satisfaction. I live for these moments of raw presence; the ones you don't realize are so beautiful until you reflect upon them.
I am a dedicated
daydreamer, so I spend A LOT of time reflecting and planning for what I want to
do next (career/in life wise). But lately, I just feel weirdly stuck. When will
I get a callback for a job? Do I stay living in Long Beach? Where do I see
myself being happy? I feed off of people's energy and crave to feel a part of a
community and I am not sure if I have found my match yet.
Change is constant. If we
are not changing, growing, evolving, then we are not being active/productive
beings. I thrive from reaching goals and experiencing that feeling of
accomplishment when you surprise yourself of your own capabilities. It’s
amazing. We are given a fresh, new slate each and every day when the sun rises.
When the moon appears tonight, I’ll look toward the sky and remind myself, “I
am capable of anything I set my mind to”. And so are you.
