When things aren't going as planned....

So, I've been going through a lot of changes these past few months.

I hate changes.

I fell in love with someone who loves someone else.

I've been stood up.

I started school..

I lost my best friend.

I've had many people betray my trust.

Although some people might claim that I'm "running away" from my issues, I'm not. I just need to take a step back to really think about what I'm going to do next. Wallowing in self pity is not how I'd like to continue on at the moment. I'd like to get back on track to giving amazing advice, and to live my life. 

If we did this more often, taking a step back and re-evaluating our situation, I have a feeling the world wouldn't seem as big and bad as it does right now.

So, if you can't afford a big trip, just escape to a quiet place, or a place where you can relax, whether this is your best friends house, your significant others house, a forest, a different city, A different town, the lake, etc... Just escape to it.

As I look back to last fall when I visited my sister in Boston, I realized that I was able to re-evaluate some of the things that were going on in my life, and make some decisions that ended up working out for me. 















And so, without further ado... I'm going back again. I love my friends, and co workers, but I need to re-valuate what I'm doing with my life, and how to fix this unhappiness that I find myself currently in. 

I leave on Thursday, and I couldn't be more excited. 

Here's to taking my own advice. I hope it works.
