Transitions...

It seems as though my life is in constant transitions these days. I have moved, changed locations for my job, enrolled in college, and I no longer live alone. While at times this all seems a bit much and is a lot to adapt to, it also gives me the opportunity to take a fresh look at my life and see where I might want to make more changes and improvements, things I might want to let go to make room for more current goals and ideas, as well as what I might want in my future. My life is constantly evolving and me along with it. Nothing ever stays the same. The conflict comes when your life moves you forward, and you stay stuck in the past. This creates a state of limbo and makes it impossible for you to live in the present or move on to a future. Unfortunately, the past is the past, it's over. You can remain stuck there, but you can't really make a life there. Now is the time to let go and move on. For me, this means I want to recommit to my education. I also want to take more time to write and to cook; both of these outlets allow me to express me and my creativity. Cooking and writing are the pure essence of my soul. I incorporate myself into each task, I savor each moment and it is my hope that this shows in the finished product, whether it be a short story, an essay, even an email; or whether it be in a simple meal I have created for those I love and those who are visiting my home. What are you holding on to from the past that is preventing you from creating the future of your dreams? There are only so many hours in the day, make them count.
