As I sit in my finished living room, I am content.
I begin to recognize that it all came together piece-by-piece and nothing can be done in a day. Instead, I’ve tried asking myself:
“Then, what can be done in a day?”
…and also…
“What should be done in a day?”
I’ve been pleasantly surprised at what I’ve been able to accomplish in such a short time. Like I mentioned, the conditions have not been easy.
I’ve neglected my blog and my writing, in general.
I’ve spent more money than I would have liked to.
I’ve had to navigate in chaotic conditions, but I have built something out of them.
My apartment is furnished, and I’ve made myself a great little flower bed to work with.
This year is about balance and growth.
It’s about figuring out how to better understand myself and the world around me.
It’s about seeking inter-connectedness, innovation, and inspiration in my life.
It’s about planting seeds and being wary of weeds, in order to allow some really beautiful things to grow…
I’ve become increasingly aware of how fortunate I am, how good people really are, and why things don’t always work out the way you’d like them to, but thatthey at least always work out. At times, with time, they manage to not just work out, but often work themselves out.
I’m beginning to see life as an impossible thing to manage; to try to hold on to. Therefore, I’ve stopped trying. I’ve learned to let go. Life is far too complex to design. Life is to be lived, to revel in the process, and with that, I am fully enjoying the possibilities that come from such impossibility.
So, I propose a toast. To all those people scattered throughout my story, who in some way, made me more aware of {abroad} beautiful and complex world full of possibilities. In gratitude, I raise my glass to all of you out there: aware of challenges, and equally aware of the opportunity that comes with them. To ignoring the complication and embracing the complexity.
