Park Day #2
It doesn't get any better than this. You're lookin' at it.
Please excuse my nonexistence.
I've been extremely preoccupied with a plethora of current events, as well as getting as much fresh air as humanly possible by spending every waking moment outdoors on my bike/in parks/in Brooklyn (usually a combination of the three).
This weather/past week has been nothing but purely amazing weather. Which, of course, is grounds for spending the least time possible indoors, leaving more than enough time for cruisin' on the beach cruiser at just about every park I know of, at the beach, and in Brooklyn. Speaking of Brooklyn...
The Willyb apartment hunt is on and has been going strong. This hunt is serious. (Think, 'Omg, I lost my wallet and HAVE to find it' serious.) Luckily, I have some Willyb residents helping me out, so I don't turn into a statistic on the "Hipster's That Have Been Beat Down In Brooklyn" list. Because I'm pretty sure that my entire five foot two inch frame and white-hipster-girl statue can not out run a black man with a machete. (Note: This is why I purchased a bike.)
Life's been really, incredibly peaceful, positive, exciting, relaxing, amazing, beautiful, eventful, fun, and just plain old good. I've been filtering out the bad, and holding the good close. That goes for things, places, and people alike. I've figured out what belongs and what doesn't fit, what's worth it and what's not, what I need and what I need to get rid of, who belongs and who gets counted out, where I'm at and where I belong, where I'm going, and how I'm going to get there. The best part? I haven't even been thinking about any of these things. It's amazing when you stop worrying, stop trying so hard, stop thinking a million miles a minute about what's next what's next what's next, everything just falls into place. And that is where you really, actually belong. I've never felt more like myself in my entire life. And I can honestly say that. Whoever I am right now, and this exact moment, is who really, truly am. I think that's why it's so easy to filter in and out the things that belong in my life and the things that don't. When you let God do the work, it's amazing how much gets done. We're not as efficient workers as we think we are.
I was reading my bible, the book of Job, and came across this verse that made me stop to reread it four or five times, and then stop and think about what it meant.
"Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God." - Job 37:14
As simple as it sounds, is as simple as it is. Chill out for a minute and let things go at their own pace. When you force things to happen, they will inevitably fall apart. It's a given. We're human. We want what we want, when we want it, how we want it. But truth me told, that's not what it's about. Things happen, good and bad, and they all have their place and time. As humans, we have no idea what we actually want and need. So sit back, have an open mind, and let the work be done for you. It's not being lazy, it's called trust.
