updates & breakdowns

Recall my tirade on not seeing any hummingbirds yet? If only I had waited a week or so you wouldn’t have received my frustration in your inbox. Ironically, hummingbirds represent resilience. Since that splurt of a blog post, I refill my feeder every few days in anticipation of migration. Well, maybe anticipation for the birds and not for me. Their frenzy in the Fall-esque weather the other week sent me reeling. I’m never prepared to lose Summer, especially not now.

Signs of resilience are particularly meaningful for me in this moment as I struggle emotionally, physically (the signs of aging may seem invisible to you), psychologically, and hormonilogically (yup, you’re welcome ;-). Somehow, I feel the need to share with you. Maybe it’s oversharing or maybe it’s overly dramatic. I’m on a precipice of not caring though so here we are.

Any advice you’ve got, I’ll take it. Any job offers you know of, please send my way. I can’t fake it anymore and I’m so tired of merely working to pay the bills believing this job I can’t stand will be a quicker stepping stone than it’s being. How do I find someone willing to take a chance on me? I would love to move into the realm of content creation but one year of blogging isn’t enough experience. How will I find time to complete my course on grammar and literature studies once I begin teaching dance?

I feel ready for the plot twist. To move on. For everything to come together now that I feel the end of the unraveling nearby. I don’t even wish I were patient. I’m done wishing I were something other than what I am. When what I am is a creative being, give me that opportunity. Please and thank you. Haa!

Alright, monthly tirade over with. But seriously, if you know anything…
