May my life be so epic.
I have spent a lot of time these past few months feeling generally miserable. That isn't to say that I didn't enjoy things. But it was as if I had grown as much as I could grow. I was stagnated.
Thank goodness that's over.
I've returned to my home in Radford. Yes, it has been a little disappointing. Things aren't coming easily - that is to say, the struggle to move on to the next stage in my life is, well, a struggle. Everyone knows that the job market is bad, and I haven't been as proactive as some of my peers. But I'm feeling pretty confident that, sooner or later, I will get where I'm supposed to be. And that, quite honestly, is a good feeling.
Learning the lesson of perseverance, of living with myself, of enjoying the little things, is what this summer is about. In order to receive, you must give, and while it is important to look back you can't let the past mire you in "was" and "what if".
So, in keeping with my own personal philosophies on the subject, I've started submitting to publishers, as well as keeping up my job search. I'm also, hopefully, going to be volunteering soon at a local nonprofit. I know what I'm worth, which is a nice feeling, too. Things will work out. This is the law of the universe.
(Though it is worth noting that, as the song goes, you can't always get what you want - but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.) On that note, best wishes if you're reading.
