Dear Readers,
Every morning when I open my curtains for that first look at the day, no matter what the day looks like—raining, foggy, overcast, sunny—my heart swells with gratitude. I get another chance.
- Oprah Winfrey
Lovelies, what does this quote mean to you? For me it truly has helped heal me a little. Yesterday was a very hard day for me. It was my first day of a new semester and here is what happened:
1) I woke up very anxious
2) My writing professor is very serious and I am unable to read him
3) One of my dance professors does not like me and in the same class a girl who bullied me in middle school is in that class with me.
4) I ended up crying hysterically to my mom on the phone for about an hour.
You could say that it was a great way to start the new semester. Haha
The rest of the day I just went through the motions and did what I suppose to. I was just in a cloud of gloom and stress. I couldn't get out of it and cried on and off for the rest of the day.
That night I was getting ready for bed and a friend of mine texted me. She asked how I was and we started talking. We talked through what I was stressed and sad about and it truly was therapeutic. She was going through the same things and we were able to make a deeper connection and we were able to help heal each other.
She reminded me that the rain might be pouring right now but the clouds will clear and times will get better. They may not clear when we want them to but they will clear when it is needed.
With this new year I want you each to remember to be grateful... especially through the storms. Even though I am not the best at that I am trying and when I do I see the difference in my life.
I know if you will that you'll each see the difference as well.
Never forget that and never forget hope.
You are loved.
You are loved.
