In the now

[Infini32]

I'm sure we can all pretty much agree 2020 has been and continues to be "a suck year". At this moment I'm overcoming a bit of a blow, an incredible opportunity arose a couple of months back and it's been the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel" (not the train), keeping my spirits lifted, a target, a goal to work towards until yesterday, extenuating circumstances have completely shattered this opportunity and apologies if this appears dramatic but I almost feel like I'm going through the stages of grief.

I have compartmentalised my emotions and packed them away in a little box for now, reality check, this is out of my control and there's absolutely nothing I can do to change it, doesn't mean it hurts any less.

So, bend like bamboo, don't snap, give myself some time to recover, fight off and ignore the head demons, one foot in front of the other and face the day. Yesterday is done, today is now and now is where I am.

I refer to 2020 as the ultimate sh*t storm. I'm sorry your opportunity fell apart. If you feel like you are grieving there is nothing wrong with that. Feelings are feelings. Don't push yourself too hard and know we are here for you. HUGS!
