Taking A Step Back

via

Lately I've been extremely overwhelmed. I am an incredibly anxious person, and I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself this school year so far... and it's only been a month (but on the other hand...wow. A month!) 

Part of the reason I wanted to make this blog was to share anecdotes and keep track of all of the many positive things going on in my life... but somehow, I let the more negative things take over until I had no time left for me.

I know that this is something I will always have to work on--it's just part of my personality--but I really do want to take time to reflect on all of the amazing things going on in my life. 

Friends. Opportunities. Education. Creative time. 

There's so much out there to see and do and I have so many options. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and think about all of the amazing things going for you.

So do me a favor and do something that you love this weekend. Something that isn't due for school or an exam or anything... just something you genuinely love that you don't have much time for.

love, emma
