i'm scared.

plain and simple.

i am terrified, but i dont know why.

i start school tomorrow. i am going back to school to finish up that few remaining classes i will need in order to transfer to a cal state. i am terrified because i have no job.

we have one income when we are so accustomed to having two. we will scrape by and be very uncomfortable for a period of about 4 months.

THEN, i will have to go back to a job i hate in order to help keep my family afloat.

i am scared to be going back to school.

scared of what that means for us.

petrified of change.

crippled by the unknown yet overwhelmingly aware that it is coming. like a speed train to my toes it will steam through me and shake both of our lives.

i am humiliated that it is taking me this long and that a friend i have grown up with since 4th grade is getting her masters.

i feel like a fool.

i feel like i have nothing left to give.

to be honest, i am sick of feeling.

but tomorrow will come whether i like it or not, and i will have to face the sunshine with either a good or a bad attitude. i will have to breath and walk and drive with the choice to be thankful or the choice to be broken.

i will choose west.

i will choose thankful.

i hope.

mirrors

nathan and i write letters to each other on our bathroom mirror, so that when we are getting ready, we can see beauty.

seeing the beauty we love in each other.

nathan wrote this one for me and is has made this week a joy.

(I wish it wasnt blasphemy to say that i love you more than anything)
