Fear is temporary, regret is forever.
I saw this on an old friend's facebook page tonight. Well, just now, actually. And it inspired me. I'm at a place right now where I'm experiencing uncertainty, discomfort and fear. A crossroads, if you will. Decision making time. Not my favorite place to be. I've cried a lot today. Life is not easy. I realize that plenty of people have bigger problems than mine, but that doesn't make mine any easier to deal with. I've changed so much since I've moved to Oregon. I've been forced to. I can't yet figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I am realizing that even when I had a bad day in Virginia, at the end of the day I always had some sense of security, stability. I had my family, my friends, and everything I'd ever known for 23 years. Today, I can honestly say that I have no idea where I will be in six months. I don't know where I will be living. Maybe in another apartment? Maybe in a different city? Different state? I don't know what I will be doing for work, besides teaching yoga. I just don't know. The truth of the matter is that I really don't need to know, I am okay with that. I just want to know that everything will be okay. And tonight, as I sit here staring at this computer screen, I really just don't know.
Answers, please. And life, you can feel free to get easier any time now.

rolf always says that the darkest place and hour is where the opportunity lies. figure out what is making you feel fearful or regretful. observe yourself when you get stressed. take a step back, a deep breath. and know that I love you!! all will pass, all will pass.
