I have realized as of late, I tend to be a bit of a drama queen. I think I always knew this, but it has become more evident as of late. I tend to react in very dramatic ways-usually tears are involved and always either the worst possible or best possible scenario is playing out in my mind. All this to say that things rarely turn out how I imagine them and I am left feeling a little stupid for overreacting and trying to clean up all the messes I have made. Thankfully, I am slowly learning that often saying nothing is often best. That giving myself some time to think through before reacting is best-which, yes, is something I should have learned a long time ago, but nevertheless has become of great help lately. I can think of several times in the past few months where I’ve freaked out trying to figure something out or because I lost something and getting soo upset when there really was nothing I could do. Especially when it comes to my future-I get sooo upset when people ask me about what I want to do or tell me that I should do this or that, when they are really just trying to help or be interested in my life. Granted, I have no idea where God will lead me and I am slowing learning to enjoy the ride and not always be anticipating the end. I realized life might be a little more enjoyable if I stop to smell the roses instead of moving ahead without even noticing them. So goal for the next few weeks-enjoy the end of my semester and smell the roses around me..and not be so dramatic. There just isn’t any reason to be.
