I like who I am.
I like that I have the ability to complain about things while not letting them bother me.
I like that I have a full range of emotions I express daily.
I like to think that I am smart, and funny, and fairly independent, and fairly selfless.
I like that I can recognize my flaws,
I like the way I deal with people and life.
The only thing I need,
is more time to rest and recuperate.
I need time to read and sit and think and eat real meals made of real food.
I need a little more mental clarity,
but mostly I just need the time to eat the right way, sleep the right amount, and shower as often as I feel I need to.
I need to slow life down.
My life is to fast, and stressful.
And I don't have the ADD to keep up with it.
So, at least for the summer,
I plan on taking things as they come,
and learning to relax.
Learning to slow down.
Learning that not only is it true that not everything is life or death
but pretty much nothing I ever have to deal with is life or death.
I lead a charmed life in comparison to Elizabeth Smart,
or all of Ethiopia.
I need to stop dwelling on all the minor sucks.
