The longest night
I had just finished the book Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover. It was 1:30am and I could hear the wind and the rain outside. The storm complimented my mood. This book brought on a deep sadness within me. While I was reading it I kept pausing and thinking about my own internal battles. When I closed the book and saw that it was storming it only enhanced those feelings. I laid in bed tossing and turning. I couldn’t go to sleep. This book left me with an uneasy feeling about everything, honestly.

Moments to heal, company to hold tight.
This night showed me a lot about surrendering to things I don’t know because when you get there you can always walk away, but you won’t know unless you show up.

There is no such thing as being behind in your own life.
It felt like an eternity, submerged in my own overwhelmed thoughts about how I was somehow behind in my life. It sounds absurd saying it out loud, but I really did feel stuck. I could see other people living the lifestyle I craved to get back to. Meanwhile, I was going into an office every morning and then going to classes in the evening.
