Wash it away.

My 25th year is coming to a close in about a month. Through all the unexpected twists and turns, all I see are deadlines glaring back at me. All of those things I said I would finally cross off. However, there are many things I'm happy to see a line drawn through and the others I'm starting to realize will probably always be there. Always unfinished. Always a work in progress. But as long as they don't sit ignored I'm going to go ahead and give myself a nod.
More or less a story of breaking old habits and starting new ones. Like bubble baths as hot as I can stand almost every night. Soaking til the water is cool again and my mind is a little less cloudy before it hits the pillow. Just taking time for me. Lord knows I've got plenty of that on my hands.
There are some exciting things on yr horizon. New writing outlets that will go beyond a small circle to a really big one. New focus on care for myself that will start to show how I'm changing inside on the outside. Just putting in the daily effort to get back to me. No apologies. Picking my battles. Continued forward motion.
This is nowhere near where I thought I'd be, but I have to keep trusting it's where I'm supposed to be. I'm not finding myself stopping dead and turning around to peer behind me as far as my mind can see. Things that are meant to will find there way back on this journey and I'll find gratitude either way.
Anyway, bath water's cold.
