Quiet. That’s how I’ve felt the past week. At a loss for words, where daily tasks or annoyances don’t seem important. I’ve also felt sad, angry, beaten up, confused. But mostly quiet.
When something bad happens I turn inwards. I don’t know if I like this about myself. But regardless, that’s who I am.. so I’ve reflected and reminisced a lot in the past week. I’ve thought about life, death, happiness, love, family and friends.
If you could spend this summer doing anything you wanted, what would it be?
If you knew you had ten words left on this earth what would you say, and to who?
If you had the ability to change one thing about the world, what would you change?
If someone asked you what your life purpose was, how would you respond?
…Is this a little too much for a Monday morning?
I don’t want to go into it much more, but I just thought I’d offer somewhat of an explanation for my disappearance last week. I’m going to try to resume to normal posting this week because this blog makes me happy. And so I’ll leave you with a quote..
“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

I hope everything is all right and I am sending some thoughts your way. Whatever it is, just know that the time you need is sometimes what you need, and I bet there are a ton of people in your life that support you!
Thinking about you. xoxo
Hope everything is OK! Sometimes we just need some quiet and a break. I feel so refreshed after stepping away from social media last week so maybe that’s what you need to. Thinking of you! XO
Hope all is well & we’ll see ya soon.
Sorry for whatever is going on. Sending positive thoughts your way!
I missed your posts last week but I understand, its hard to know what to say in life, let alone on the blog during hard times. I love that quote at the end of your post. I wish it wasn’t so hard, but it is SO hard to remember that we may only have today on the day to day, and then something happens and it’s all you can think about.
Hey Caroline, I was so so sad to hear the news last week and couldn’t make sense of it myself. Things like this are so hard to understand, and it never makes sense or seems fair-but all we can do is keep living each day and doing our best to be kind to ourselves and others. xo
I’m sorry to hear last week (or rather, two weeks ago! Just getting through blog posts now…) was such a tough week for you. I tend to draw inward, too, when I’m feeling beaten up by life. Sometimes, I just need to be quiet and listen to my own voice and block out everything else.
Hope you are doing ok! Thinking of you. <3
I am sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch… I understand your need for silence and time to reflect, though. Sometimes it’s just too painful and difficult to put words to what we are experiences when are in the midst of it… I hope things are improving for you!
