Yesterday I had a breakdown. In a major way that put me out of commission from about five to midnight. My social and spiritual expectations were significantly under met. I miss my friends. I miss my relationships. I miss people who "get it". So much to say here. But I think the chart I came across in my work reading today sums it all up. I sunk into my "Valley of Despair". It's been a really long time since my hope has been crushed, an effect of any sizable valley. And it stung. And hurt. I knew it was coming, just didn't see it this soon, nor this strong. I'm human, that's for certain. Definitely making the most of my "mortal" experience.
Thanks to this favorite establishment (the first one in Houston, only 1 month old!) I've moving out of Avoidance into Creativity.
Thank you Texas for brining this California girl closer to home.
Ah Mala - if you're hitting your low this early on then you're gonna be so in love with Texas by next month! You're gonna rock it and I know that you're gonna find every possible amazing thing there and take full advantage of it. Just remember, most people can't deal with the city and come and go within 1-3 years. Its the true adventurers who stay. The ones who can adapt, find the fun in everything and love their neighbor (cuz there sure are a lot of them). So in that big state there are just as many people and just as many opportunities and best of all, everyone there has time for a convo....you don't have to worry about catching them at a bad time! :)
ReplyDeleteAmber you are so so right as always. I figure the sooner the low, the sooner the high, ya know? :) Things are definitely definitely up from the time I wrote this post. Tonight I'm going dancing in a barn, which lets be honest, has to produce some good blog material right? RIGHT. I get to wear boots...for real! Can't wait for you to come visit. That's not an if, it's a when. ;)
ReplyDeletetrader joes makes so many things right.
