I missed three days. But that last post was exhausting, so this challenge is going to have to be a lil more flexible.
The prompt is: A moment that you felt the most satisfied with your life.
This is a difficult one, because I've struggled so much with just being ok with me, let alone accepting my life and all of its imperfections. And pinning down a specific moment proves even more difficult.
But the past few months have seemed to flow together in a swirly soup of happiness. I've come to understand a portion of why my brain works the way it does, and have learned to cut myself a bit of slack. I'm ecstatic living with Cody and our kitty, and know that I have a lifetime with him to look forward to. I'm making money. I'm taking full advantage of my library card. And I've had a great summer, hiking, camping, and grilling with Cody.
I feel like there is always something that, if only I had it, my life would be perfect. Mostly this feeling is bullshit, and being able to identify that has made living a lot more enjoyable. Although applying to schools is stressful, my GRE scores weren't awesome, and I have no guarantee that I'll get into any schools, I'm trying to take things in stride and recognize it as a journey that I shouldn't take SO seriously. I need to remember to have fun!
