on the verge

it's been one of those kinds of weeks. the kind where what's happening around you seems out of your control. it's like watching it all fall through your fingers like sand, and you stand there paralyzed wondering how you let it all get that far ahead of you. 

i feel like i'm embarking on the time when letting the sand go will be my goal. it's time to shift gears. time to let go of all the excess baggage whether that be in the shape of people, friendships, opinions, thoughts, preconceived notions, and former dreams. i'm not the same person i was a year ago. i'm not broken (i'd like to say i wasn't broken then...but maybe i was...), damaged, or low. i'm a combination of everything that has happened to me. i'm different. i'm not who i once was. i am closer to who i am supposed to be. 

in two months i'll be 25. it's time to start thinking fresher. 

but now, today, it's almost the weekend. it's time to be young, to be present, to dress up and wear lipstick because it makes me feel good and expensive. for a little bit i'm going to remember that who i am right this second should be enough. 

and if there happens to be some dancing on tables so be it. after all, you're only twenty something once.
