light


i'm really sick and a little bit stressed.

i haven't been able to breathe for three days, and i wasn't able to dance in a showcase performance at school last night as a result. i was really looking forward to it and had been working really hard for the last month so that i could do it. i almost just did it anyway, but whilst dancing with a fever in modern yesterday, i decided it wasn't the best idea. i probably would have ended up falling over, and that's not really fun in front of an audience.

and then this morning, we discovered that we are very overdrawn in our checking account.

and we found a big, fat parking ticket on our car.

needless to say, i'm not having the best day....

...BUT...

wanna hear something cool?

i'm not devastated. i'm not falling apart. my world is not unraveling.

in the pre-medication, pre-therapy days, these things would have sent me into a tailspin of despair, anxiety, and self-loathing.

but today, i'm kind of seeing things in perspective.

and i'm hopeful.

i know things are just fine and that i have everything i need.

  2. I hope you feel better soon Jasmine! Allergies and sinuses have been insane lately. And glad you're feeling good emotionally along with all the stress.

  6. i can't tell you how much this echoed my feelings this week. boyfriend dumped me, had like zero money, was sick to my stomach and skipped class - and somehow felt like everything would be completely, and totally, fine.

  10. I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of your ability to remain calm. Finances are the only thing I freak out over. I lose sleep when I am unsure of my budget for the coming months. Just recently I barely slept for 3 days because I was unsure if I'd have enough money to move. So keep just thought I'd mention I know how hard it is, and I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

  11. It's funny, I was having a sub-par week myself. But life is too short to let little things get me down. Glad you're feeling positive!

  12. hey pretty lady. It's so wonderful to hear that you have that inner peace. I know it's a constant battle (the bible says so!) but we must definitely celebrate the good moments! If you haven't already, you should totally read "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer.

    p.s. I go to rockharbor too!!
