If anybody's out there

engagement... the whirlwind and balance of the biggest party and biggest decision I will ever make. I'm ecstatic.. i'm overwhelmed. i'm relieved. i'm at peace.

Life or something like it.

Days pass so fast. When I was in school, i would hang on to goals, deadlines, and finals week to measure my days and accomplishments. Now, each day is followed by the next with the same sets of patients and tasks. Is this life? Is this my divine purpose in my life? dating makes things interesting but i'm not so sure about that either. I was out the other night looking at the people in the bar. lots of lonely people looking for something to fill the void just for a minute. oh, alcohol, one night stands, or maybe just maybe they will find the "one" in some cosmic clash of alcohol and fate. It made me sad. Sad to see so many people searching for something that i've known my whole life. and now here i am, removed from the smoke, jack daniels, and dancing.... analyzing the whole situation. i know my purpose in life so what am i doing here? I feel a little behind. I feel like i am experiencing this whole crazy thing at 23 when most people experience it at 18. I am thankful for the experiences i've had that have made me wiser, older, and maybe just a little more boring. I am glad for this time in life even though it is all very confusing. I will find my way. i know where I am going but the days passing don't seem to be getting me to where I want to be. I guess in every life a little rain must fall and this period of fighting for my soul will be the time that my spiritual body needs to stand later.

reflection versus vision

There are unwritten, unscripted moments in my life that make me question all i know. confusion and pondering flood my mind each day and these long trips on the road allow the avenue for too much self reflection. there was a time when i craved the solitude of the open road for a few hours to clear my head and sort through the emotions, rationality, and complications of my current situations whatever those might be. Now, i dread those quiet moments alone because lately i find more questions that answers in the solitude. I've decided that too much reflection breaks vision of the future.

the routine...

my life is falling into cadence; a predictable series of events repeating itself each seven days. i like it, the consistency. it doesn't hurt but it doesn't burn either. I like my job and i feel satisfied by the shear exhaustion at the end of the day. I feel rewarded by the smiles on my patients' faces at the end of the day. Maybe i lack the professional barrier that is oh so important to the "nurse: patient" relationship. Maybe i'm too close. Maybe i am overinvested and too "involved" with my patients. well, at least I haven't fallen in love with any of them and cut their LVAT wires....

Memories

the past teaches me who i am and how far i have come. reminiscence isn't always pleasant but there are moments spent with old friends that rekindle laughter and innocence that has long since past. these precious moments remind me that inside this mature, responsible "grown-up" is the little girl who wanted to be a princess, who wanted to be rescued, who wanted to be captivating. and in those moments, i think maybe i still can be. maybe, i can still have the adventure and the romance, even though my life is far from a fairy tale.
