I'm glad others see struggle as inspiration. That might sound sarcastic but it's not. I'm very thankful that one does not have to endure a difficult situation to understand the lesson from it and its benefits. I'm glad that hard times make people stronger and that even broken people can mend.
My stress eats me alive, but I'm learning. I'm learning to take time for myself. I'm learning that it's okay to cry and let it all out but only if you pull it back together and go on with life. I'm learning that watching an episode of Sons of Anarchy before bed is a good way to unwind and it's okay to allow myself that. This is very similar to another post I previously did about taking the time to go on adventures and learning that it's okay to go to a concert on a Thursday night as long as you get your work done.
I have BY FAR not mastered my anxiety. There are many days when I still feel like I can't get out of bed or nauseous before work but I've learned to push on.
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see my post about letting go of what you can't change. This is my biggest goal in life at the moment. This is where my focus is and what I strive to do. Someone commented on that picture and called me inspirational, the reason why I started this post the way that I did. I'm thankful that others can find inspiration from my corny Pinterest pictures that I use because it's so difficult for me to find words.
That being said, blogging has become a more difficult task for me. I don't strive to write a post just to write a post although I apologize that that then causes long breaks between posts. I've been taking a lot of me time, alone. I hate being alone but I need it. No matter how many times I try to find words to explain my situation the right ones aren't there and I don't expect others to understand this mystery feeling I'm having and it's hard to understand someone like me who doesn't really understand why she's so stressed.
The lesson from this post is pursuing what you want. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm trying.
Love ya mean it,

Hey Bailey! I definitely understand where you're coming from. I feel like I constantly have anxiety from classes, work, relationships, etc. It's a hard thing to fix, but keep posting your inspirational quotes - I love them! I've also been trying to do a lot of things on my own too. It's hard to explain why, but I think it's a necessary step to overcome anxiety. If you ever want to talk or hang out, just text me! xx
