BUSY

If I could describe what it is like to be a “20 something” in one word, I would say busy. We are all so busy, and it is truly wonderful and exciting.  Being busy is stressful, but I find that if I really think about it—I am so thankful to be busy. Think about what you are busy with—you are busy with YOU. This is a time in our lives when our choices revolve around ourselves. (For MOST of us—or at least MOST of us in my circle)

 I know we are all in different situations; I am personally busy with me. I am busy working two jobs I don’t love, but I feel will benefit MY future career.  I am busy dreaming about how, and if grad school will work out. I am busy applying to jobs, in the hope that I can work next year. I am busy running because I want to feel the achievement of running a ½ marathon.  I am busy making happy hour, dinner dates, and going out, with friends because I love seeing them and I need some fun. I am busy talking on the phone, making a long distance relationship succeed.

I guess my point is—when you are feeling overwhelmed—breathe in—and be thankful. Remember how lucky you are to be busy- I at least try to do this….(Sometimes admittedly our tasks seem way too overwhelming to feel ‘thankful’ for them).
