unglamorous

source

postgrad life is as unglamorous as i expected it to be. it is like perpetual summertime, when i am undisciplined because i am unfettered from the guard rails of structure, schedules, demands and deadlines. moving back home is one of the hardest things i've had to do and it's hard to fight for joy and hope. when i look in the mirror i don't see a young woman who just graduated college and is okay with the uncertain future because she knows she is held safely in the hands of her heavenly father. instead i see a helpless and directionless adolescent who has no strength to hold onto the disciplines of the faith and little trust that it's okay to be hopeful for fear that it'll be taken away. life is hard to size up and it's harder to reflect on now. i also find that i have little fortitude and i realize that resilience comes at a high price
