Life takes over; exercising has to be scheduled into a day like work, classes end, then start all over again, papers pile up (along with bills - thus the work schedule), household chores are never ending, dates with the hubby are few, and carpal tunnel sets in.
Doesn't sound like summer to me... ....yet, somewhere, it has arrived.
The summer solitice has come and gone.
Summer 1 term has come to a close.My first (long awaited) clinical is ending.
.... and yet, life continues to keep moving forward.
That's the insurance policy with life; it will always, ALWAYS continue to move forward.
Life will continue to move forward even if we're not ready for it to move forward.Life will move forward even if we need more time to study for that final, more time to "adjust", or more "free-time" (which I'm convinced no longer exists once you hit a certain age; in my case, that age would be 23).
Life will even move forward when we feel like our world has stopped.
It will move forward at the same pace as it did the day before, and the day before that, (even if it feels as though it is dragging).
I used to wait for my life to begin. To graduate from college, to get married, to be in grad school, to be done with grad school, to have a real job, start a family, or whatever it may be. I was waiting for my life to start.
Then one day, I looked back....
...and my life...
...was leaving...
....me behind.
Life has already begun. We are living it right now.
And whether I like it or not, it's going to keep going.
Whether I'm ready for it to move forward or not, it's going to keep moving forward.
Luke and I have been stuck on this hamster wheel called "school" (or at least that is what it feels like to us). Yet, when I look back on the last 6 months, last year and last 2 years, I have begun to realize that we're not on a hamster wheel. We're not even on a treadmill! We're on a path and we're moving foward. While we might not be moving as fast or as slow as we would like; we ARE moving.
Life. It moves with or without us.
