"It can be hard sometimes though. At the end of June, I started getting a bit despair-y again. I think about the future and wonder, “what’s the point? What should I ‘want’?”
I lost my job at the beginning of June and am in the midst of appealing a reinstatement of my financial aid for school. I have spent the bulk of June in this same despair.
But I am still here.
I am going to journal today, with your post as my north star. Thank you 🙏🏻
Oof, I'm so sorry, Heather! I can completely understand how that can make you move toward a phase of despair, and yes, despite it all... You're still here!
I'm so happy you are working through this difficult time, and am honored that you're carrying this post with you today. Thank you!! That means so much to me! ❤😭
Hi Cierra, you certainly have a lot on your plate! Thanks for your updates and your open heart. I know you will find clues as you unpackage your special self. I am a young, old person and the journey is no shorter! There are a ton of things to learn, not only of ourselves but what keys others may have for us, and us for them. Give yourself grace. Appeciate tagging along and enjoy that fun food!
Thank you SO much! Haha, remember this is a wrap up of 17 (!!) Friday Reflections too! And don't usually document it all!
I really appreciate you taking time to read (or skim, or acknowledge) this beast of a piece! I really feel safe to rediscover and express myself here. I love when I see others (and myself) document journeys. You're also absolutely right about how this journey is everlasting, and about giving myself grace.
"There are a ton of things to learn, not only of ourselves but what keys others may have for us, and us for them."
Goodness, I needed that! I loved this reminder that there's so much to learn for ourselves, but the fact that so many of us are keys for one another! We can be inspired and learn so much about each other in such an enriching way.
Also blushed at "unpackage your special self"! Thank you so much for tagging along! And oh... Oh will I enjoy that food! Haha!
