taking time for me.

i have hundreds of voices telling me what is right and what i need. all i know that i need is to start going outside my comfort level. i have lots of dreams and things i've always wanted to do; it is about time i start doing them. i am not happy with who i am, and i have never given myself one moment to breath and find that deep peace within myself, to find that deep sense of joy that cannot be rocked by one single person. i have this sort of idealized sense of love, and because of that, at some point, always, my relationships begin to fail. and i forgot to have balance and love myself. does this all sound something short of "eat, pray, love"? well it feels like it. there is a boy who feels "right", but things aren't working. we're taking space, and he still feels different, and i don't know what that means. but there is one thing i do know. before i give anyone my heart, right or not, i must learn to give myself the love that i deserve and need to survive. or i am no good to anyone, not even myself. so. i am going to love myself, and follow my heart (as cheesy as that may sound). 
first things on the list:

-road trip (all by myself!) down south to visit friends and breathe in warm air.
-more things in the works... coming soon.

i've found that when i vocalize to other people and put out there that i will be doing things, that i do them much more often. so expect to hear of many more adventures and experiences in my life in the near future. i am looking for myself.

Great idea, Cassy. Every year I go away somewhere with just a bunch of books and I for a week. Somewhere I get some solitude and recharge. Ruth Ann is great about letting me do this each year.

glad my post could help today! funny how that works out, right words at the right time. its the whole reason i keep blogging. I love this post. I went through this same realization a few months back and it is so worth it to take the time to go inward and really find out what it is you need. not want but need. if you make the hard decisions to take time for yourself, you will be repaid in ways you cant even imagine. I hope you find everything you need.

oh, and where are you road tripping to? You going to visit Nici by any chance? Im roadtrippin to SF in a week!
