“you glow.”
my grandfather is a man of very few words, so hearing something like this caught me very off guard. especially the timing.
i haven’t been very forthcoming with my present situation, updates soon, but things have been, for a lack of a better word, difficult. i find myself more often than not drained of any energy and sleep hasn’t been coming easily.
so my grandfather commenting that i glow just didn’t seem to fit. though, after i stopped and thought about it, i reached a surprising conclusion. even though things have been difficult, i never stopped to notice that i am actually happy. for the first time in my life i am stable. my job is stressful, but i have a job and it is putting me on the necessary path for my career. though bills and school loans are ulcer inducing, i have a beautiful home that is mine. though things are stressful, things are going rather well.
i never stopped to consider how happy i am. i’m doing things on my own terms and doing quite well for myself when people thought i would sink. i guess that explains the glow.
