emotional overload

Tulum, Mexico: December 2012. No special reason for this picture, I just love it.

I feel like my emotions have been on a roller coaster lately. I’ll go from super happy, to exhausted, to anxious, to calm, to overwhelmed and back again.

I’m not sure if it is due to where I am in my life; a time filled with uncertainty and change, or due to my constant overthinking, but I’m going to divide the blame.

 Part of me is lonely.

Two of my best friends I’ve had all through college recently moved away and its been hard for me to come home at the end of the day and not have them to talk to, like I have for four years.

 Part of me is happy.

Its summer, the sun is shining, and I work outside with children for majority of my days. I’m surrounded by great people at and truly do enjoy my job.

 Part of me is scared.

I really do not know what the future holds. And as it turns out, my dreams and goals have seriously changed; leaving me feeling confused.

 Part of me is proud.

Of who I’ve become, how much I’ve accomplished and what I know I’m capable of.

 Part of me is sad.

My family is three hours away and my bestest friend is seven. I miss them a ton.

 Part of me is excited.

For the fun upcoming plans and the future adventures I will go on.

Last, but not least, all of me is grateful.

For my loving family, old friends, new friends, experiences, opportunities, lessons learned, and so much more.

As you can see, I’m all over the board, but that’s how life goes sometimes.  Happiness is a choice and I’m definitely going to choose it!

Here’s to a wonderful Thursday. “Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.”
