Thanks for being so sweet and understanding!<br />I think it's important to share the not-so-good days as well as the golden ones, to show others who feel down that they are not alone. We all go through rough times sometimes, even if most of it only happens in our heads.

I'm getting more and more established at work, and all the snow is almost gone - things are looking up! Yoga is also helping, as it always does. <br />Love you!

SPRING IS COMING". You know, writing it all down and talking about it (A LOT, he's a saint) to Rich, I have come to realize that it's just my transition period that's happening right now.<br />I pinned a lot more than just 'normal' moving hopes on this change: I want it to be the catalyst for my "real" life: The life of being a valued member in a small community (a la Lorelai Gilmore, she influences me way too much), of being a published writer, and an adventurous, cool cowgirl(ish).<br />It's barely been 3 months, and I guess I had a little crisis. <br />All these unrealistic expectations, combined with impatience and insecurity? NOT a good mix, lol. <br />I really think I've moved passed the crisis mode, chanting to myself every day to "enjoy the moment". Because there are a lot of AWESOME moments happening every day. <br />But - I still want to share the down days, the doubts, the tears, and the bad moments. <br />Because, I know how it feels when you try to distract yourself from your pain by scrolling through Instagram, and all you see is happy faces, declaring how "blessed", "fortunate", and "happy" they are, and how awesome it is that "I have these FANTASTIC friends" - and you have never felt more alone in your life. <br />It's the WORST. I've been there so many times, and I KNOW that I'm not the only one. That's why I want to share my down times. <br />Not to get sympathy. <br />But to let others know that they are not alone.
