A Few of My Favorite Things
Since June I have lived in a whirlwind of insanity. There is no better way to explain the past two months other than that--insane. Although it has not been easy, and life never is, I have come to the realization that the hardest moments teach us more about ourselves than anything else.
Today I feel so much more happier than I was two months ago. I owe my happiness all to the man in my life and our friends and family, who have shown me love like never before. But more than that, I owe it to the truth these past two months have provided.
So instead of ruminating over all the fun-filled shit the past two months were, here's a look at something happy instead. I love when new things walk into your life, whether it is something as simple as a song, TV show, book, or moment. What they all teach is that there is always something wonderful to be found in the simplest of things.
Favorite TV Show: Stranger Things on Netflix is hands down, one of the best things I've seen in a very, very long time. It has all the feelings of the 80s (my most favorite decade) and not to mention, is beautifully written. The kids in this show are legit and it took my breath away. I will be counting down the days until Season 2 arrives.
Favorite Song: This was a tie between two songs that speak for themselves. I love me a good love song, that is for sure, and I love these two a whole lot. "Break on Me," by Keith Urban and "The Only One Who Gets Me," by Charles Kelley.
Favorite Book: I started reading the Harry Potter series in April (I know, I'm extremely late to the party) and I don't think I have ever been more fascinated. Harry Potter is not just a YA book. It is so much more than anything the brain can create. J.K. Rowling has quickly become one of my all-time favorite authors and not just because she created a series that has surpassed more than what she ever expected it could. She is one of my favorites because she never gave up. Despite the years it took to get her dream of a story about a young wizard published, she never let Harry Potter fade away. Plus, she is a fucking amazing writer. Much like Stephen King, her detailed imagination is a force to be reckoned with. I'm slowly taking my time with the sixth year book, mainly because I am terrified of what's to come, but also, because I know I am going to be devastated when it all ends.
Favorite Thing to Do: Sleep. Not having a 9 to 5 job has given me two things I am grateful for--more sleep and more time with the people I love. Life passes by so fucking fast that if we don't stop to pay attention, it literally vanishes. I sleep to rejuvenate my soul and my brain, and when I wake up in the morning I am more alive than ever before. I also fall asleep with much more ease and stay asleep, whereas before it would take me hours to finally doze off. I'm spending more time doing things I love and am able to make up for all the time I lost. Simple, but joyful.
Favorite Habit: Working out! It has been almost two months since I have started working out "for real," meaning, sticking to my daily schedule. I have not given up yet and I don't plan on ever giving up. My anxiety has eased , I'm not as stressed, and my thoughts aren't as intensely moving. I know it will take some time to see the results I hope for, but I only look to today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Favorite People: Andrew and mom. I could write a lifetime story of each and that still would never be enough to not only thank them, but sum up what they mean to me, in words.
I am finding more happiness in the simplest of things than I have ever found in anything over the top. In this moment, I have all I could ever possibly need or want and for that, my gratitude reaches a level it has never seen.
Peace and love, always,
Kim
