One Step
One breath
I missed May’s newsletter. I watched the days count, and yet I did nothing to avoid missing May.
I read from someone on my Substack feed that writing doesn’t always have to be deep or serious, sometimes just write. I think I needed to see that 3 weeks earlier.
The truth? I was overwhelmed with an activity for work through May, I was exhausted physically and mentally. I had decisions to make that I wasn’t certain about- I needed a break. I was aware of the month rolling away with a voice in my head reminding me I had a few days more for the newsletter; the truth was I couldn’t find that place and so I moved on.
I picked up a draft the first week in June but I still couldn’t get past a few lines of roundabout dialogue. Anyway, all this to say:
Life has hit me in weird ways this past week (or my mind has not been kind to me).
God is always good.
Praise is what you need on down days- It might not fix the problem, but it will fix the heart.
Sometimes, what you want isn’t really what you want.
Never make life-altering decisions while spiraling. Wait for clear skies.
Things are never really as hard as you might see them in the moment.
I am loved.
I might be an “adult” but I still crave validation from the people I look up to.
We might not get that validation but God is still always proud of us.
A good cry is needed sometimes, but dust your face right after, thank God for life and fill your heart with a belly-rumbling Kdrama.
This is not June’s newsletter (I think), so I will be back. Till then, live life like it’s good.
