There is a lot of drama going on right now. Alot of situations I’d really like to not be apart of. People make decisions that effect me, and I’m basically rag-dolling in the aftermath. And it just keeps coming. It just keeps happening. New situations blow up, and old situations evolve and everything is just expanding at a rate that I can’t keep up with. It’s getting to the point where people tell me what should be brilliant, exciting news and I’m finding it difficult to assimilate what they are telling me, what it means. It’s another something to deal with and I don’t have it in me to deal or understand right now.
I’m struggling.
I feel like I’m pulling out everything I have to keep the smile on my face. To keep going. I’m finding it hard to want to participate, to discuss or even be present.
It’s overwhelming.
It’s overwhelming when its your family. Your friends. Your life. I feel like right now what I want is to disconnect from everything. Take some time out, away, and give myself some room to deal. To think without these ridiculous emotions washing over me, and amping up everything that happens.
The problem with life though, is that it doesn’t have a pause button.

here is to at least.. fast forward. If you can’t pause, then with luck you can get through it quickly. xoxo
@Andrea – <3! I'm all about fast forwarding through things at the moment. I'm all about drama-free distractions and quick, fast-paced fun that means you don't have to think. In short, I'm rocking sports and the 'A fast game is a good game' mentality. Thanks for the comment, hey. - elly x

In times like these it’s often useful to make a list of everything that’s stressing you out right now, and breaking it into things you have control over and things you don’t. Cross off the ones you don’t and remember that participation in a lot of things is often optional. You only have a finite amount of energy and it’s best to focus it on things that you actually can control, and also things that make *you* happy – I really hope things calm down for you soon, miss *hug*
@EmilyJane – Well, I DID make a list. Less of things that’s stressing me out, and more a list of things I want to do/can do that give me something else to focus on. And I totally agree, there’s only so much I can do, only so much I can focus on. I think I’m going to be a little bit selfish and focus on me for a bit, instead of the people close to me. Thanks for the comment, hey. You are fantastic. <3! - elly x
