This Could Be the End of Everything...

"Oh simple thing, where have you gone?"


These lyrics suit my life so very, very well right now. Everything has just been so damned complicated lately, and I can't control any of it. I feel like I've been trapped in a corner with no way out.


I enjoy simple things so much. The sound of my niece's laughter. The smell of a freshly cleaned room. The taste of a cold glass of water. The feel of snuggling with a dog. The scent of my husband's skin. The joy of spending time with my sister. The excitement of hanging out with my best friends. The freedom of losing my mind in a song. The relaxation I feel after a long night of writing.


I haven't been able to enjoy any of these thing lately. None of them. I feel the stress of everything in every single muscle in my body. I know God has bigger plans for me than this. I just need to push through this. I need to continue being calm and get through this so I can get my gorgeous, simple life back. I deserve simplicity.

Sister...

Who cares what they think? Their opinion means nothing as far as I'm concerned. You are an amazing person, and if they can't see that, it's their fault. You're smart...there's a reason that Beaver Dam didn't want you to leave. You're cute...boys are always hitting on you somewhere. You're sympathetic...in a good way. You care so much about other's feelings. Nothing is ever going to be good enough for them, so stop trying. I realized that a long time ago. It's not worth driving yourself crazy. Live your life according to you. Make mistakes. Be so broke all you can afford is 28 cent Ramen. Fall in love. Have your heart broken. Break someone else's heart. Make friends with people from other states and countries. Live somewhere you absolutely hate and work your ass off to get away. The world is so BEAUTIFUL out here. All these experiences are too. Go out and have them. You deserve the best this world has to offer. Just be happy. And know that I'll always be there.
