The life I want to live is not the life I live now. I want to change that. I want to live in simplicity. I want to have 1 couch in the my living room, artwork on the wall and a deck. I want to wake up in the morning, groggy and tired and turn to God to wake me up. I want to wake up early before the rest of the world and enjoy a cup of coffee on my deck. I want to downsize my belongings. I want to surround myself in things that make me, me. I want to go thrift shopping and not be covered in name brand chaos. I want to save my money. I want to live with my best friend and laugh with him until my belly hurts. I want to see my other best friends - all the time. I hate that all this adult-ness has gone straight to the brain. I want to be 24 - a smart and resourceful 24. I want to be adventurous and care free. I may want a tattoo. Why not. I want to not be so stressed and concerned about tomorrow. I want to lean on God for my strength. I want to trust in that. I want to shop at farmers markets and walk downtown. I want to enjoy the sun on my face and the sand between my toes. I want to take in deep breaths of fresh air and thank the Lord for the life He has given me. I want to run so fast my legs hurt. I want to do Pilates in my living room and laugh when I lose my balance.
I want these things. And because of that...I am apartment shopping.
la ta di da...Baby steps to a fresh start.
