Please, please, please please stay a while.


As I continue to face big time changes and accept that my life is changing directions, I am attempting to simplify everything that I know. I thought I was as comfortable with myself as I could be, give or take a few minor issues. Now I'm learning that there is so much to alter. So I am striving to simplify my life, working from the exterior inwards. Appearance, apartment, self-image, relationships, wardrobe, attitude, insecurities. I'm finding that the most difficult part of all of this is being patient with myself, letting go of what I cannot control, and accepting what I can.

Pinpointing one's own problems in order to repair them is a painful, daunting process. I am learning, however, that this is the best way to grow - I am in control of my life. I am shaping myself into who I want to be. I am growing older and wiser and I have all the power.

Somehow, that makes looking into the mirror so much nicer :)
