I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”
I started editing again, and I finally feel like I got a part of myself back. I have been caught up with work, school, and some personal stuff that I have not had the time to sit myself down and just enjoy editing. It’s been a year since this trip and it still is one of my favorites. Moraine Lake was an absolute dream. Canoeing its waters was something I never thought would be on my bucket list, but I’m glad I checked that one off. I am so thankful for my friends who convinced me to go and for Rachel for planning everything!
As for everything happening in my life, I’m slowly getting back to increasing my productivity. I don’t know what it’s been but I just have not been in the mood to get going and get things done. I did when I had to, but I feel like I lacked motivation and all I wanted to do was sit around and watch Netflix. I haven’t been in touch with what I’ve been going through either, and I feel like I was lost. Slowly, I’m getting myself back. This is a small step but I’m glad I’m finally making moves. I need to get back into my quiet times, reflection, and editing, especially now that my current class is pretty rigorous and work is about to get busier. Need to find the balance in the chaos and I’m hoping to come out of it pretty sane, lol.
when I was younger, I used to think true love was tumultuous and intense. but now, I feel like real love is gentle. passionate in a soft, sweet way. not fireworks and drama, but a love that’s like coming home, the breeze on a still summer day. a balm to the aches of the world.
Such an amazing weekend! Even though I wasn’t able to stay long since I also had a wedding to go to the next day I’m glad I was able to spend the night and have some quality time with this group of people! We’re all at that age where we’re all working and our schedules clash, but when we come together it’s as if we see each other daily back when we were still in college. I seriously love this group of friends so much and people say that you find your truest life long friends in college and I am so happy to say that I’m apart of that statistic.
