Life Update Post #1

Hi there friends.

My creative juices don't seem to be flowing as of recently, so I thought "Why not just ramble about how my life is going?"

If that's not the sort of thing you care about, then I suggest you find something else to read until I post something new.

To those who stuck around: thank you. You are so cute.

Last Friday was the last day of my first semester of college. The fact that I can even say that statement honestly really blows my mind. I have to say, it was not easy; taking any kind of course in only 6 weeks is bound to be challenging. I don't think I've ever been so happy to be back in Port Saint Lucie, and if you live here you know exactly what I mean. But that's an entirely different blog post in itself.

There have definitely been some ups and downs into being home.

The ups:
-seeing my boyfriend

-seeing some of my friends
-...
-home-cooked meals

The downs
-realizing that all my friends are super successful
-seeing my room turned into an office space/play room 
-having to spend money on gas
-having to spend money
-having to spend money and realizing I'm unemployed
-forced interactions with family members

And honestly, the downs can go on forever. While college presents many unique challenges, at least while I was there I was able to do things at my leisure. At home, I have so many things to think about; my plans for the day, who I'm going to visit and where I'm going to go. I much rather prefer to be able to not worry so much and just let myself figure things out as the day goes on.

No matter how stressful life can be, this place will always be my home. It really does feel good to be back. Slipping back into this sense of familiarity feels like taking off your bra after a long day of working; in a word, amazing.


I now realize that this post was mostly just rambling... I promise there will be better things to come. 

Until next time,
Maddie
