The Unanswered Question

Okay, so I know this happens to everyone: moments of panic. For no real reason your whole world comes crashing down because you realize that you have no purpose. Maybe it's not even that. Maybe it's just that you don't know why you're working said job, why you are living in said town, or why you are doing anything that you do. It's a horrible feeling to be lost. To be unsure of what you're doing and where you're going. To know that tomorrow you have to get up and do the same thing over again. Is it going to be a waste of time? I know this overanalyzing does no good. It only perpetuates this thought that we have to know where we are going at all times. We don't need to know. I just need to remind myself to be here now. Live this moment, enjoy it, and stop looking so far ahead. People are always getting ready for the next thing to come along and make their lives better, but that next thing never comes. I know this, but it's so hard to believe sometimes.

This is it.

Hey Dream Baby ♥

First day of work today and already thinking about the next step:

US road-trip here I come.



Found over at inhabit.

Succulents

I love these little hanging terrariums.
When I have more money I will gift one to myself.


Found here.

let it be

There is strength in surrender.

Let's go with a light one...

I need these for fall.


Now, I know this sounds dumb...BUT I watched Dear John tonight and it made me sad...I mean, why are people so stubborn? It's so frustrating.

Life is short, enjoy the gifts that are given to you.

Los domingos

I love Sundays...I really do.

My roommate and I went to the farmer's market in our neighborhood this morning, then proceeded to grab some coffee at good ole Starbuck's (local to global, it's how we roll) and then over to asia mart. The checker asked Amanda and I if we were sisters and it was all downhill (or uphill?) from there:

Checker: "I am stunned by your beauty"
Amanda: "umm...hey, what about me?"
Checker: "you are double-beauties..."

bwahahaha...ridiculous. Now I know where to go if I'm having a bad day and need a little confidence boost! I'm back home and enjoying some R&R. Clean room, clean bathroom, clean living room. nbd.

My friend Stephanie is coming to visit me tonight and I can't wait! A little piece of home will be here with me even if just for a few hours ::sigh:: I miss you, but not as much as you'll miss me.

Deep Creek

I had an amazing weekend with my new friends. We rented a house in Deep Creek; hot-tubbing, board games, testicle-toss, lounging, and reading took up the majority of our time. All the things you always wished you had time to do during real life, we did. Although this was nowhere near as enlightening as an Eat, Pray, Love sort of trip, it did give me time to organize my thoughts and re-shape my mindset. I feel I know better what I want, what I'm unwilling to settle for, and what makes life worthwhile. I love my new life here...I've only been here two weeks, but I already feel at home.








What makes you happy? What do you love? What can't you live without?
Iced coffee, good conversation, my friends.

Happy Labor Day!
