The Weekly Poll Results! 🎈 |

This summer has been SOO busy! After all, all that business, things can get a little tiring... When things get tiring, we can all take a nap. So I was curious, what is the perfect amount of time for a nap?! It appears there are some people who do not nap but, either nap roulette or an hour nap are the popular ones! If you asked me a couple of years ago I would have said nap roulette was for sure the best one. Now, I say that a timed nap is best so I know what my day looks like. With that, AN HOUR NAP wins!! |

Conversations with My Thoughts |
|
|
A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime |
|
|
There is the classic saying “You have friends for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” The words of this phrase are forever inscribed into my memory but, the meaning of it hits different. As someone who fears people leaving their life, whatever the reason may be, I don’t want someone just for a reason or a season. I want someone around for a lifetime. And you are no expectation to that desire. I can’t imagine you leaving because right now you are so important to me. I know that this thought is not the most sustainable and my relationships, past and present, show that. When you entered my life, things changed, something shifted. We immediately developed our own language, our own inside jokes, our own little friend group, and none of it felt forced. When we spend time together, it fills up my cup in a way that my cup hasn’t been filled before because only you can fill up my cup in this way. After all, everyone fills up my cup a little different and your addition is noted. My chest tightens slightly thinking of the possibility that you may no longer fill my cup anymore. I want us to keep investing in each other right now. Right now. That is what it is and that is what it has to be - right now. History has shown that I’ve grown apart from friends who I thought were lifetime people and turned to either a season or a reason. I can’t predict how you will grow or how I will grow. We may grow together or might grow a part. Whatever happens, I’m just glad you walked into my life. I’m glad you are a part of my story and I can be a part of yours. I will live a life that will be comprised of friends who exist for a season, reason, or a lifetime. I don’t know which one you’ll be. All I know is that you are here now and I think we are pretty lucky that we get to exist together right here. Right now. |
