Breaking
"Heartbreak is an illusion. The heart is soft and made of light, and therefore cannot break. What is actually breaking is the wall built up around the heart. Let it shatter." -Unknown.

An UnBalancing Act
How do people do it? Go to work, fall in love, keep healthy, socialize, look great, foster hobbies, sleep...?
I want to do it all.... and I can't.
It's too much. I thought I was having growing pains as I stepped into adulthood. I thought juggling all aspects of my life was new and therefore difficult. Within a year I expected to get the hang of it. I would be living some artsy version of Sex and the City.
Fail. and unhappy. exhausted. :/
It's really time to step back and honor myself. I don't really want it all. I've never wanted it all. I was that college student who took 6-9 credits because I wanted to take my time. I value space and reflection. I like immersing myself into one thing. I've never been good at multi-tasking.
I have this fear if I don't participate in something, or keep up with something, I will miss out. I need to practice letting go. It's okay to say no to some parts of my life or change the proportions (thanks Danielle Laporte. Check out this awesome blog post from Chelsea).
