Life Lately.

8:51 AM

Between becoming stressed for circumstances beyond my control and the hustle and bustle of trying to find work, I found a gem of a weekend. I cannot lie to you, and say that the last couple of weeks have been easy for me. I've found myself bogged down by emotions and stressors that have not plagued my mind for some time. I kept asking myself, 'what good are you?,' 'what are you doing with your life?', and 'when will I take my life back into my own hands?' Luckily I am surrounded by an amazing man who helps me realize all that I have done in the past year, and also how much I have to look forward to. He helped get my eyes back on the horizon, and told me to focus on all the things I can and will do, instead of focusing on the moments that I have let slip past. I've realized that yesterday is finished, and tomorrow hasn't happened yet, and therefore, my only focus is today.

This weekend we got our of the house and into real life again. We piled into the car and braved the LA traffic to see an early screening of Flight, had the best tacos of my life at a little hole in the wall place in LA (seriously, better than the ones I had IN Mexico), walked outside our front door to the annual pumpkin festival, and saw the Perks Of Being A Wallflower, which had me in tears by the end (I told Jimmy that every time Emma Watson came on screen, I felt like a mother watching her child on stage...insanely proud, but so nervous that something would go wrong). We ended the weekend by cuddling up on the couch and watching Sleepy Hollow (a tad disappointing when you realize instead of being scary, it's Tim Burton running around doing whatever he wants).

Overall, this weekend was just what I needed to get my heart and soul back on track.
