Gardening in High Heels

cultivate a beautiful life

Stuck

February 17, 2016

Remember that episode of The Office when Andy tries out for America’s Next A Cappella Sensation and he ends up sitting down and whining, “Oh I can so just sit here and cry!” Yeah, I kinda feel like that today.

I just wanna sit here and cry.

I’ve been blocked and stuck and sick to boot, which doesn’t help to get me in a good, creative, let’s go kick some ass mindset at all.

I can’t decide where I want to be personally or professionally. I don’t know where I’ll be physically in a month, so it’s hard to get my mind to agree to staying in one place long enough to focus on what I want to do in the future. Or to make up its mind about what to have for dinner tonight. Or where to put that shelf because, oh hell, will I even have this wall in a month. Does that make sense?

It feels like I’m just staying in one place while the world acts upon me instead of me going out and making things happen. I understand that life has cycles and this is just a low cycle for me. We all have them. Instead of fighting it and trying to struggle against the tide, I’m just going to embrace it and ride it out.

Learn how to embrace the tides of life - you'll be so much happier when you don't have to fight against the waves.

So, no uplifting positive message, just writing what’s real for me right now. Like I said yesterday, I’m trying to be comfortable with vulnerable stuff and for me, that means sharing the good and bad with you guys.

If you do want a positive, uplifting message, I wrote all about where I turn when things get messy.

    Oh girl I’ve been there. It sucks that you’re feeling like this but you’re right, it ebbs and flows. Hang in there!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Thank you so much! Just having support helps 🙂

    As someone who has been in that boat on more than a few occasions, find a way to embrace the gray. It’s not easy, nor is it fun a lot of the time, but I promise there are some pearls that are waiting for you on the other side. Sending lots of hugs. xo

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Thank you, love! I always love your great disposition in face of gray areas. Hugs back!

    Girllllllllll, I know what you’re feeling. I’m in a funk right now too. I want to find a new job, but I’ve been sick on and off for the past month and that makes it hard to look for a job or write my novel or really do anything. I’m hoping the tides turn for the better for both of us!

      Sometimes just having someone say, “I can relate” helps so much. Best of luck on your search! I hope your tide turns soon 🙂

    This is exactly how I felt right before I finally decided to quit my job and try the whole self-employed gig. The walls were closing in, I wasn’t happy and I didn’t feel in control of my own life. I don’t have any answers for you, I just know that you’ll figure it out. You’re too badass and smart not to.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      You, my friend, are spot on with the feelings. Also, thank you for being a friend (like a Golden Girl) and being super supporting. You rock!
