“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” —e.e. cummings
Today is a good day. The sun is shining, I'm about to go have lunch with my best friend/girlfriend Gabby, I'm caught up on all the shows I missed this week (it's the small things in life!), and I had an overall alright weekend. Good and bad, some of each. I'm choosing to be happy today. I'm choosing to go to work tomorrow and act happy to be there. Lately, I haven't been acting like that. It's selfish, I know, I should be happy to even have a job. But I just want to leave and start the next phase of my life. No, let me rephrase that: I don't want to leave, I need to leave. There have been some things that have happened in the last month or so that have made me realize just how eager I am to move to another country, away from my comforts and people I love, and just help a community. I want to learn a new culture. I need to do something meaningful with my life. I need to not sit at home in a dead-end job that I don't love, stress about paying my loans, see and think about the same friends I've had for years and constantly question what it is that I want and what I'm doing with my life. I feel like I'm living the movie Groundhog Day.
No, today will not be the same old day. Today is a good day. And it will be even better once I'm stuffed with a delicious meal.
I'm a pilot, It's all I believe in, You can ride on my back
