Show up

I took on a side gig for some extra income and I been working like crazy. I pretty much have time for work and sleep. And the sleep part a little shaky. As this goes on, I have to prioritize life. Find time for the things that matter. And I know we always use that cliche saying when we feel like we are being slighted by others, but when all your time is pre-scheduled, you literally have to search for time for doing the laundry, grocery shopping, and people. 

These past few weeks, I really have had to take a hard look at the people in my life who add value and prioritizing. I missed an event of 1 of the most significant people in my life and it literally left a little pain in my heart. I know she still had an amazing time and probably didn't even miss me (not in a shady way but because she was still showered with love), but even the thought that she may kinda sorta think she isn't as much of a priority than she is kinda left me temporarily depressed.

I am very big on showing up. I try to do it as much as possible because I know how heavily I appreciate it when other show up for me. Maybe its the hippie in me who just appreciates the supportive energy being close, or the love in the air (yes, I am a sap). But, as we get older, and our circle of friends get smaller and more intimate, take the time to show up and show appreciation for the ones you love/care about/hold a special place in your heart. It's kinda crazy we have to schedule love, but I promise you it is worth it.

Ok, my mini life lesson for the week is done
