we do what we must

and call it by the best names. -rwe

you could say that this summer has been one of much needed relaxation, but what it really comes down to is a series of perturbing impasses. i have indeed relaxed and cleared my mind of the past year, but i have also stressed about the state of uncertainty accompanying this summer - i'm completely accustomed to having a plan and a backup plan. it's not often that plans a & b fall through and leave me at a veritable dead end. 

as i reached said dead end, i decided to come home for a few months. what i've found is that home is a good place to end up when everything else falls through. here, people will love you even though you're a big grouch-ball lazy lump of a person, complaining about the injustices that you alone have been so harshly dealt in life. 

i've also learned that a summer like this is a gift in disguise. i've spent some valuable time with my radiant grammy, my kind aunties, my supportive parents, and my merry and droll siblings. princess eleanor rose has been spoiled rotten. i've cleared my mind and soul for the impending year. my faith has been restored and i am reminded that i am sustained by something greater than my own resolve. 

i am grateful and renewed.
