Changing the garbage bag

[wonderfulpuddle]

A quarter life crisis
(the
'I dont know who I am,
or what I want,
or what I'm capable of anymore'
kind)
got the best of me, for a little while.

While I don't think I'll ever stop
dramatizing my frustrations
and epiphanies
(that's my juice),
I am trying to make
better habits for myself,
fashioning a more
sustainable lifestyle.

I've been eating better,
being active,
quitting cigarettes.

I walk my dog
and stretch in the morning.
I drink coffee with
half the caffeine.
And I'm trying
to keep my mind
in the now,
the ever-present right here,
because the future's quite elusive
and sloppy projections
just won't do.
