Chillin' in the USofA

Rant: I am always waiting for the next stage in life. Two years ago I was waiting to go to China. One year ago I was waiting to get back to the United States. Now I am just waiting until I buy a house and establish myself somewhere. Although it is almost imperative for me to look forward to something, I have realized that focusing so much on the future is veraciously keeping me from experiencing my present.

While I was living in Utah, all I could do was fixate on my impending move to China. I didn't see the need to make friends or really explore Utah, because it was such a temporary stop in my life. My time in China was a replay of my Utah perspective. I have spent two years of my life simply waiting, instead of really being present. What a depressing misuse of my time.

Now that I find myself in another ad interim moment, I am trying my best to feel a part of where I am. It is difficult, but I am doing my best.

Moral of the story: Don't be like me. Do your darnedest to enjoy where you are at, no matter what you are waiting to happen.

Also, randomness: I went to the gym a lot this week. Bad idea. I can't move my arms. Next time I will remember I am not Superman. 

Boring Info: I live in Texas. I work as a Business Development Writer for Instructure. I am not pregnant. I am visiting Iowa in July and Idaho in August. And yes, I really do like running and expensive makeup.
