I am stuck.
I have so much that is creative inside of me, and I have the confidence to know that I will succeed, but I am growing more and more incapable of doing anything. The things that I crave now are time with my family, my boyfriend, my cat, time to sleep, time to do something recreational. All of the time I waste in a day could be put to better use, but I squander it like so much small change. I could have written my first book, illustrated a children's book, volunteered at a food bank, but instead I spend hours catching up on the best and worst of what was on TV last season.
I know that I am stuck.
Perhaps that is a step.
I need to lose weight, start exercising, that would be another step.
I need to emote, I need to be heard, and I need to feel that what I have to say is worthwhile.
I need to think more, meditate, feel thankful. I used to feel thankful every day, even if only for the small things, like the smell of cut grass, I was thankful. Now I feel too drained to find joy in the everyday. I need to get that back.
I need to remember what it was like to be me.
