i'm straying from my usual food and book posts tonight in exchange for something a little deeper than the latest fix to my sugar craving (but see below for a couple quick notes).
for the past month or so, i keep finding myself somewhere between the past and the future but not in the present.
i'm not building on the relationships i have right now because i'm too busy longing for a small group from 4 years ago. i have yet to learn so much about my current finances, but i keep wishing for the days i had no mortgage and no student loans to pay. i have a job that requires my full attention and all my efforts, but i find myself searching for another that will promise purpose, satisfaction, and joy. i've forgotten the joy of my freedom from studying because all i want right now are the carefree, time-laden days of college.
where's my right here and right now? it's lost somewhere in between 2004 and 2020.
so here i am waiting. if you've seen a present with overflowing blessings but an ungrateful owner, that's mine. please return her.
and...for the sake of bringing it all back to food and books:
current food craving: a slice of chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting
