Around March, I had the idea of creating a desert theme for a period of time on my Instagram. I see so many beautiful tropical/beach pictures on Instagram that are impossible to recreate as I am living in the desert. I had so many ideas for this project and they came out completely different than I ever imagined.
This week has been really tough on me and has also been a great lesson on saying “no” to things that don’t enrich my life in any way. In the past five years or so, I’ve frequently agreed to doing activities others ask me to do simply because I feel guilty and obligated to help out. Big surprise, I typically end up regretting it.
I was able to develop a really good routine for myself last semester, but now that my classes are out of the picture, that routine is gone. I’ve been in a funk lately because my days are very empty and honestly, quite boring now that I’m on summer break. You know when you’re at your busiest and you think “I wish I had more time to do _____” or “there’s so much I have to do and so little time do it”? Now I have so much time, but there’s not enough pressure to complete those activities. I am definitely in a “funk”.
