fabian made me realize something about myself tonight. i’ve always thought of myself as a simple girl. little things use to make me happy. everything will be all right as long as i remain optimistic and smiling. i don’t know when i changed but apparently i am not that person anymore. i never thought i would see the day that my smile would be so fake.
i’ve been working hard my whole life. how else could i have survived? if i relax for a little bit something goes wrong. i have to be on my toes all the time. i couldn’t really enjoy the little things. and now it caught up with me. no matter how much i try, i can’t enjoy the little things anymore. i am always worried about little details. i have to figure out my next move. i need to have control. i’m so afraid of failing. i don’t think i will be happy if i don’t get what i think i should have. but who said those are the things i should have?
i have a stable job. i have the love of my life. my family is healthy. i should be thankful. but i want more. i want a better job. i want a good provider. i want to spoil my family. it’s frustrating me that i cannot do or have these things. so i want to work harder. it doesn’t sound bad right? so why does it feel so wrong?
i want to go back to being that simple girl. i want to be content with what i have. but i feel like it’s too late for me.
