give and take
The best thing you can do in your life is share ideas with others. Sometimes it’s giving advice on something you have been through before that you want to save the next person a little time on or its taking advice from someone that cares.
Usually I am the one giving advice (even if I haven’t been through the exact same situation). Lately though, I feel as if the tides are turning, life is changing and I am going through a period of... the opposite of clarity. Life is so dang easy to manage when you live at home and you have a family to lean on for cleaning up, cooking dinner for you, paying all the bills and making every call to the wifi company when there is an outage - even though I have been moved out for 4 years it just seems like life gets more and more complex each year.
Even though it’s frustrating it is definitely worth it to live on my own and have my own space to grow. Only thing I’m not too fond of right now is this brain fog and all these ??? in my head. I am so confused that I have been forgetting lyrics to songs I love!! & if you know me, I know every word to every song I love.
So what is going on? Idk exactly but I am very excited that I have been taking this opportunity to reach clarity through reading. I have been embarking on a book called “Big Magic” in order to live a more creative life, beyond my fears. I am not even halfway through and it has had so much helpful advice/knowledge/stories that make you realize all the cliques: It’s never too late, you’re a unique, creative individual, blah blah. But really...it is one thing reading that quote and finding it inspiring, it’s another to read something that sparks something within you that makes it true and real for you.
I am hoping through this soul search, job search, ‘becoming’ stage I am in, that I will find a little more clarity about what I want to do. Not with my entire life but for the foreseeable future and for the next few nows.
Point is…
give and take advice, give and take love, give and take attention, give and take time…give and take. Don’t just take because greed does not bring happiness or clarity.

Use your life experiences to help others when you need the advice yourself, take personal time to relax and center yourself back to the you that started the work in the first place.
