So right now, my life is going slightly insane. And to be honest, I'm more than a little stressed.
Thoughts of rent, apartment and future moving plans, finishing classes, future plans, budgets, and laundry are all jumbled in my head. I don't know how God is going to work all of this out, but he will. And I'm kind of excited to see how he's gonna do just that.
I've already put my faith in Him, and now I'm just waiting for the blessings. And more importantly, the PEACE.
Pray for me, ya'll.
The OED gives the following definition: overlived: lived under great pressure or in intense activity. My life is full of intense activity (both good and bad) and has (for the past 8 years) been lived under great pressure (read boarding school and top-tier college). However, as I try to figure out what the heck I'm doing next, I'm learning that my life as a REAL ADULT PERSON has its own unique challenges. The pressure doesn't ever really go away; it just changes. So this is my relief :)

Psh! Productivity is Overrated
So I have literally been sitting in the bed all day. Well that's not true. I loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the stove, cooked and made lists of things I need to do.
And yet, I am still here, in my bed, watching the third episode of NCIS. (I absolutely love this show, by the way.)
My lack of productivity was aided by Facebook. And while I was searching/stalking my friends profiles, I ran across a girl I knew/was sort of friends with in high school. And while I perused her photos, I smiled because she has grown up to be beautiful young lady. Now while her and I didn't always see eye-to-eye (oh, the drama of high school girls), she did help me without knowing it, albeit much later in life.
I'm not making much sense. Let me break it down. Seeing her pictures today, reminded me of what high school was like, reminded me of the silly things girls do for guys attention, reminded me of how much I have grown and matured and how much I have haven't as well. In other words, by the time I finished looking at the first twenty or so pics, I felt both happy and sad. I felt happy because the pics reminded me of how awesome high school was, and sad because I feel like my life is so much more complicated. And though somewhat unrelated, sad also because I had a small epiphany as to why my luck with guys is as bad as it is.
Anyway this post was not about guys, or girls, or anything really, it was me just reflecting on the transformation (yet to be completed) that is my life.
Ahh, becoming a real adult person is SO HARD!
