The past week or so has been so insanely busy due to me finishing up this round of classes and also the fact I can now very pleasantly announce I have accepted a full time position as a teacher here in Charleston! I am so thrilled to be in the classroom doing what hold nearest and dearest in my heart, which is teaching, and as I joke, shaping the minds of America’s youth. One day at a time. I am really excited to get the ball going and have already decorated my classroom. You know me.
So, as well as teaching and attending school full time, I am also buckling down on my fitness and health! It has been an insane year for me, and while fitness has been a priority for me, (hello, I wanna look good naked), I knew that throughout college I had other things that exceeded the priority. While I would love to stay in bed another hour or so in the mornings, I know that I gotta get my work out in before I have class. It is the habits I create now, pushing myself in this body, that will help me in the long run. While my already full days just got even more full, it is nice to also have a consistent schedule, considering it has been so long (almost a year now!!) since I really had a routine to stick with. I’m just proud of Alexandra. I’m amazed with what she can do.
So, to jump to a few weeks ago, let’s just say I had a dang good Valentine’s weekend, with some damn good people 😉 Considering the fact that last year I am pretty sure I had COVID, this year was expadentally so much better. I love love. I am a hopeless romantic. I cry at love songs, and I enjoy a good rom-com. I feel like regardless the amount of times I have been burned by love, I still hope for the best, and know that I will find it one day, whenever that may be. One of my favorite parts ever in my favorite poem goes “
Love is not who you were expecting
Love is not what you can predict
Maybe love is in New York City already asleep
You are in California, Australia, wide awake
Maybe love is always in the wrong timezone
Maybe love is not ready for you
Maybe you are not ready for love
Maybe love just isn’t the marrying type
Maybe the next time you see love is twenty years after the divorce
Love looks older now, but just as beautiful as you remember
Maybe love is only there for a month
Maybe love is there for every firework, every birthday party, every hospital visit
Maybe love stays
Maybe love can’t
Maybe love shouldn’t… Love arrives exactly when love is supposed and love leaves exactly when love must.”
It’s the truth though, right? Sure, people don’t enjoy Valentine’s day because yes, it’s so commercalized and overly cheesy, but damn. I love overly cheesy. I love being doted on and doting on another. I LOVE LOVE. So anyways, I had an amazing weekend, tummy filled with yummy food, a whole lot of laughing, freezing my booty off in a little dress downtown. Hands down, aside from my birthday week/weekend, best weekend so far of 2021. Excited for more exciting weekends like it.
Life has been sweet lately. I am still healing, I am working hard, I am really trying to soak up everything I possibly can, ready for the sunshine and hot weather. Thankful for good food, a good job, good yoga classes, and damn good people.
See y’all next week❤️
