When Forever isn’t Forever
Funny how things works. You get this notion of what you think forever is and then life slaps you upside your head and shows you differently. I’ve had forever not work out twice now. It sucks. The process of parting ways with someone that was supposed to be in your life forever is tough. Often times it feels like you’re losing a family member. But what the fuck is forever anyways?
Being vs Doing
I was recently sidelined with a nasty eye infection after having too much fun in the desert for New Year’s (worth it) and was forced to do nothing for a week. Doing nothing (or just being) is harder than it seems. Every time I wanted to get up and do something, I reminded myself that I needed to chill and heal. A few things came to me during my week of rest.
I lost a seven year relationship, but I gained myself.
Seven. Years. That’s a really long time. Especially when you’re in your early 30s. That’s over a quarter of your life. It’s apparently how long it takes to master a craft or get two separate degrees. In seven years, people raise little humans, dogs become middle aged, and people learn new languages.
