Seasons

Today I feel at peace. I've been struggling a lot recently with feeling somewhat empty, in the sense that I haven't had anything new to look forward to. I used to spend my days constantly writing and creating, starving to find the best lyrics and ideas I could come up with. Lately it's like I'm dying of thirst with no oasis. Stuck in the desert; but even in times of drought, I don't find myself discouraged. Why, how!? Pay attention to patterns. When you notice the way things progress and evolve, you're able to be at peace, even in the shadows. I say this because it happens with the seasons. Just because you hate the cold doesn't mean you hate your life. You don't hate your life and give up because you know for a FACT that spring will come…and then summer…and then fall. It's a cycle. Be okay with having seasons. When you feel in a rut, I understand. I've been in one for a few months now. I'm doing what I can with what's in my control to get me out of this rut, but you can only do what is in YOUR control. Feel all the feels for sure, but when you're done, bring reality into play. I encourage you to be a realist when you can't figure out how to feel better. I say this because if you can't seem to gain back that spark you once had, the first step of escaping misery is coming to terms with reality. That's when peace and acceptance will come. Sometimes it's just a season. I feel like winter gets a hold of us sometimes, turns our hearts cold with the frost on our windshield. Firm believer in “you won't grow without the snow” Yes I just made that up. Anyways, seasons change. They just do! You'll be inspired again. You will be excited and eager again. Trust the process, wait for the sun, and be at ease when the leaves decide to fall.
