Hey, friend (:
I wanted to come on and talk today about this season of life and how I’m feeling.
To be honest, I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed with how this pandemic has changed my plans. I’m disappointed that I’m going into my senior year of high school and it looks so different than I imagined it would look.
I’m sure so many of you, no matter how old you are, feel the same way. School is different. Sports are different. Work is different. Church is different. Life is different.
And it’s hard. It’s really hard. There’s no denying it.
This week, I was feeling the weight of all this change as I realized how different this volleyball season will look for me. Thankfully, my season hasn’t been canceled, but it will look so different and it is cut short. I talked about it on IG stories a couple days ago, and some of you messaged me to say you’re feeling the same.
So I spent a day being and sad and even crying about it. That’s okay. But then I decided I wasn’t going to stay like that. Yes, the changes we are experiencing suck, and they can feel overwhelming. But I’m trying my best to have a better perspective on it all.
I think something that will help us all make the most of the next several months (covid restrictions and all) is to take each day at a time. Instead of looking at the big picture and becoming overwhelmed, I’m trying to slow down and focus on which positive things each day has to offer. The small joys I can find in the ordinary. The happiness I can find from things as simple as conversations with friends, finally getting to go to church again, drinking a pumpkin chai, and going on long walks.
I hope you’re all doing well! See you next week!
XO,
Gabriella
