Everyday, I come across incredible people and experiences I backlog for my blog posts... and here I am, without a single blog post about my journey. I am nearly 5 months in, and driven all the way the west coast... and still... not a single blog post about my journey. Why?A good time for reflection... I don't know. I barely manage to stay semi-current just posting pictures to instagram. In some ways, I love that; I am living the experience vs documenting it. But honestly, I have plenty of time at night to stay current. And the gentle reminder to myself; I'm not perfect, and that is ok. Just because this is no longer perfect also does not mean it's a lost cause. I am human, we are human, I am not perfect, we are not perfect, and how beautiful the imperfection in humans. I hope to take this reflection, the beautiful imperfection of being human, and transform it from disappointment to motivation.
Six months ago, I had this vision of me sipping wine in round tortoise shell glasses each Sunday writing about the interesting people I've met, the life experiences resulting in new wisdom, and perhaps one step closer to enlightenment. As with most if not all things in my life, everything fabricated in my mind tends to flow with such ease, exuberance, passion, fulfillment... At times, I wonder if living more within my mind would be much more magical, freeing, and joyful?
It was about a week ago I received one of the kindest messages about my blog from someone who read it. Side note, my blog has less than 50 views, so receiving a message like that due to shear probability was moving to me.
I created this blog solely for me to look back on and recount my journey through this period in my life (still sipping wine in my tortoise spectacles laughing at the memories... ha!)... no expectations for anyone beyond me to gain anything from this. However, if somehow this moves people in positive ways or others find common ground with these thoughts that bring comfort, then what a win for being human!
