i am not ashamed to say i have been having a tough time understanding that statement. living here in prague is such a blessing that has saved me in a lot of ways (!!!). however, there are moments i desperately pray for stability. the city can sometimes feel like a graveyard of people i once knew. it is getting really difficult repeating this cycle: meeting someone who you truly connect with, making the most of the time you have while simultaneously counting down the days til they leave, then grieving them when they are gone. my friend liza and i call prague “loveless city” because of this. everyone is on different life paths here and everyone is on the move, which i suppose could be said for any city. but, i don’t exactly have stable footing here either so everything feels heightened. i digress, i’ll step off my soap box… all i mean to say is that movement is life, everything moves (including me), and that’s just how the cookie crumbles! taking time to slow down and find routine in small things is necessary for me these days

i used to think that i could one day solve all the personal issues that were holding me back from my phantasmic idea of happiness and once i reached the top of that hill i would live forever; bathing, figuratively, in morning light from a kitchen window, a purring cat by my side and no dishes in the sink, and now i see my life stretching out, beyond that calm august day and into the sludgy, dark evening commute of an eventual february and back, and i see that my life is not a problem to be solved but a state of constant movement, two steps forward and one step back in perpetuity. my joy will be lost and found over again with the swing of that pendulum

Life is so cool. I’m so thankful to wake up everyday and live on this earth. We get to experience so many things, feel so many emotions, and meet all different kinds of people. It’s easy to get stuck in the routine of living but sometimes it’s good to remind yourself of how crazy it really is.

might sound corny but comparison is indeed the thief of joy, setting goals definitely helps but just waking up each day and knowing you're alive is already such a privilege!! i do get it though, it feels like time goes by way too fast
