| Me 5 days out the 7 day week LOL (minus the degree) |
Who in the world put this desire in my head?
Last week was tough at work
and this week isn’t shaping up any better. I’m overwhelmed, frustrated etc. and
I find when this happens the first thing I ignore is myself. I didn’t work out
one time last week and I ate A LOT of crappy food. And when I did finally get home I was
still thinking about work so I was up late which means I was exhausted every
day. But this is my pattern when my life isn’t going how I think it should I
fall into this trap.
I was scrolling through
Instagram (yep it was late and I should have been sleep) and saw this excerpt
on xonecole from Devi Brown and I was like OMG this is me. She said:
“As women we don’t
give ourselves enough love and care and acceptance. Every day I would wake up
feeling like I needed to escape and that’s a terrible feeling to have, wanting
to escape but you have no idea to where. I was very restless and through that restlessness
I got really sad because everything I thought I was working towards had been
paused. I freed myself of that have-it-all desire and mentality because the
truth is we’re just people. We’re just human beings. Having it all is not my
goal.”
I can’t begin to tell you
how many times I have read this excerpt. It’s actually saved in my phone. It
resonated with me more than anything I have read in a long time. And it’s
weird because if you remember my last post was about not wanting to come back
to my life to stay at my parent’s house forever.
