It has been a relatively smooth transition into this chapter of life. I feel like I am one peg higher in my adulting status, but still, have such a long way to go before I am good at it. Is anyone actually good at being an adult? I will keep you posted on that breaking news when or if I ever reach such a level of achievement. Regarding figuring out a new routine and new normal that is ridiculously hard to schedule, I realize that I did not know what the true definition of being busy was. I have a new appreciation of being home (where ever that may be these days). It can be frustrating being on the go all the time, so to save some time and the little sanity I am trying to preserve, I find great comfort in allowing myself the ease of coming into a haven to create, think, and recharge. I am taking homebody to another level. Between being up to my eyeballs in work and desperately needing a nap all the time, my life revolves around being where my checklist can get done, and the bags under my eyes are held at bay. The first week into grad school had me torn between being where I knew I needed to be (at school) and where I wanted to be (at home with my family). I have since gotten over the shock of everything happening at once and love the little oasis I get to come home to each weekday and look forward to coming home on the weekends. The idea of belonging and contentment struck me during the second week when reality set in and the harshness wore off. This is just another one of those times in life when I will look back and be glad for the course and take whatever comes in strides. No matter how hard it gets or how overwhelmed I am, I know this is what was meant to be. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2018
