When I want to relax....

One thing I realized about myself, I am just too hard on myself; I do not appreciate the little things and simply enjoy what I have. Over the summer, I realized a lot about myself and how I should look at things in a different lens; I was able to reconnect with the family and see that I am not alone. Due to circumstances with my parents, I felt the solitude was my only company. I decided to stay with family in the Bay Area to experience something new and become familiar with what I had before. I had a part-time job that allowed me to be home and enjoy the sweet sweet comfort of being home and actually feeling "at home". In the morning after everyone is either at school or work, I made myself a nice cup of Joe and coupled it with some sweet bread my aunt baked the night before, I sat and tuned to "Will and Grace". I felt the comfort of being home to enjoy a nice morning, of course after cleaning up the apartment, and watch my favorite show. I realized that sometimes you have to enjoy the little things to realize the bigger things; I have a family to visit and come home to, I have to take a few minutes out of my life to relax and see things differently. I need to simply sit and not worry so much about what is happening tomorrow or the next, when I need to take things one by one to grow and mature. So when I need to relax...Coffee is there for a soothing, calming, company.
