Some days are better than others.
Yesterday was one of those days where nothing seems to go right at all. I woke up with a nasty cold that resulted in me leaving a conference to take a nap that never actually happened. That, plus some unwanted drama left me no choice but to call my mom and bawl for an hour and a half. I'm sure she has no idea how much I appreciate her..
I was not a pretty picture by the time dinner hit, let alone midnight.
You should've seen me.
Through all of the ups and downs yesterday, I learned who some of my real friends are: the people who refuse not to give you hugs just because you're contagious; the ones that come sit on your bed with you when the drama won't stop; the ones who go on a frantic manhunt with you when you think you've lost your roommate (no worries there, she's ok!); the RA who sits on the floor with you during a meltdown; the ones who leave you texts making sure you're ok...They're all important. All of them.
Without all of these people, I don't know what I would've done to make it through yesterday. I think it was my first truly awful day since being at Salem, and their encouragement was beyond helpful.
Today is a new day, and I've come to the decision that it will not be a bad day. I won't let it be.
Mom reminded me last night that my health is the most important part of this overall picture, and I'm taking that seriously now. Today is going to be a good day. A great day even.
Here's to an awesome November.
Keep not settling,
