I have been a whiny, miserable, mopey wussbaby and I should probably stop. I should stop, and I know I should stop and yet I am mired in the muck and I don’t know how. But I’m trying.
We hit these points of overwhelm occasionally – and by we, I mean I’m lumping you in with my maladjusted and emotionally stunted world. There are no big fixes, no easy answers and often it feels there’s no answer at all.
I know, because I’m in that place right now. That place where someone says, “Well, what could you do to make a change?” and you want to kick them in the knee because DUH if there was anything you could do, wouldn’t you totally be doing it?
(You would)
And in those cases where it feels like there’s no easy way forward, I guess the next step would be to go sideways. I mean, like you have anything else better to do? If you can’t move forward, move sideways, just for the love of all things holy do not stop moving because you’ve been sitting there for awhile now, and if you don’t move, even a little bit, you’re going to have a harder time finding any sort of momentum to start moving again
(by YOU I still mean me)
So, maybe you’re in the midst of a rough patch
(you are)
But you won’t always be
(this too shall pass)
And somehow and someway you’ll get to a point again where this is all in your rear view.
But not today.
And that’s fine.
Can you feel your right foot? Pick it up and gently take a step to your right. Slide your left foot next to it.
There. You’re doing it. You’re moving again. It won’t feel like much. It doesn’t have to be much. But just… move.
Take a breath and remember how it feels to move, how it feels to take control and just find your way again.
