Let it be

Let it be and let it go...

This is my first post in three months, and it's more of a personal blog post than anything. The past three months have been filled with a lot of inner struggles, anxiety, and stress. I've grown apart from friends. I've started my most stressful academic year. I've made some bad decisions.. but also some good ones. I've felt alone, but overwhelmed at the same time. I have many difficult decisions coming up that are already weighing on me. Basically, life is hitting me hard.

But today, I sat down and let everything that has been consuming me go. I did what makes me happy...makeup! Blue is one of my favorite colors, and it makes me happy so I knew I wanted to use it. I let the rest create itself from there. It felt so free to blast some music and do my makeup for a couple of hours. At one point, I started to get frustrated because it wasn't looking like what I had in my head. But then I realized, that was the whole point in me sitting down today. My life isn't exactly the way I planned it to be right now, but it's the imperfections that make it beautiful.

To sum up a post that is very unlike me to make, I realized that I can either overthink every situation in my life and stress about it, OR I can just let it be and let it go.
