In the Moment

Mom always says that it is never as bad or as good as it seems in the moment. Well lately, it's been pretty bad. Not that I am feeling less blessed or less loved, but I have been facing some situations that I just really do not want to face. I am so lucky to have the support of my family and friends in life, and I have no idea where I'd be without them. Mom is right though: it really isn't as bad as it seems in the moment. I have found that I can be quite a drama queen, but if I step back from the situation and just breath for a minute, I get over it pretty quickly. That is one good thing about college: you grow up. I have learned more about myself in the past few months that I expected or even wanted to. I've been put in situations that before these lessons, I probably could not have handled. I have an amazing mother with tons of advice, a sister with Blackberry messenger that is always ready to text right back, and a sister that knows exactly when to send me a text that says "damn, you're a sexy chick". Life is not always going to be easy, but at least I have the support to get through the day with a smile. I know that if I take it day by day, it'll all be ok. And in the end, if all else fails, I know what is important in life and I know where I need to be and what I need to do to get there.
