GRATEFUL

Y'all. It's been a rough couple weeks. I don't know whether I'm going through an almost-30 crisis (better not be a mid-life crisis) or what, but it's been rough. I've been super anxious about the future and what the heck I'm doing. Your whole life you're told what to do, where to be, what's next..and bam..you're about to turn 29 and have no idea what you're doing with your life. I've been constantly (like, obsessively) asking myself over and over again what I should do next. Am I in the right job? Did I pick the right graduate program? What am I going to do when it's over? Where should I move or should I move at all? Ultimately, I've been extremely afraid that I've made the wrong decision about quitting my last job and moving from Nashville to D.C. Usually, I try to look on the bright side. I mean, I wouldn't have SoulCycle or Zara (that's not a joke)..but the negatives seem to be creeping in more than usual. Work is about a bazillion times more difficult than I ever imagined and I feel like the dumbest kid in class every single day. That is a not a good feeling. Another negative is that my Nana is not getting any younger and the guilt I feel every day about not being in Nashville with her is like a elephant sitting on my chest. The third biggie is that my nephew is growing up so, so fast and I feel like I'm missing out on everything. Uh..like his first haircut was this weekend and he looked so dang cute in the pics..I really wish I could have seen him in person.
All of these things combined have been a bit overwhelming, but the thing that has been helping the most has been the support of my family. I realize that may seem like, duh, your family is always there for you, but that's not always the case for some people. More than ever, I realize how lucky I am to have a mom and dad that will still love me regardless of what I decide to do with my life. For some reason, I've always felt like I had to live up to something..be successful..but I'm realizing more and more that "success" doesn't have to mean following the crowd and working at a bank or being a doctor or lawyer..aka making a lot of money. "Success" should mean being happy and doing what you love. What that specifically will be for me, I don't know.
Something I have come to a conclusion about is that I do love D.C. and that the Lord has me here for a reason. I have met some incredible people, I'm enjoying school more than I imagined and I'm learning so much about myself. This is the right place for now, but what next?
Not sure what all this means or what is going to happen, but I do know that I'm extremely grateful for my family. So sorry for the dramatics, but I thought I'd share in case some of y'all were going through the same thing. Will keep you all updated!
FRIDAY FAVE || MUNCHERY.COM
Friday, June 24, 2016
If you follow me on Snapchat (username: lehmala), you'd know I got the pleasure to try out a new (to D.C.) food-delivery service call Munchery this week. I was hosting a little Bachelorette dinner party at my place for two of my best girlfriends and when Munchery reached out to see if I'd like to try them, I jumped at the chance.
