I got home yesterday night from a road trip with a good friend of mine and her daughter. It was a good opportunity to step outside of my daily routine and let my mind rest for a few days. A 40 hour round trip car ride leaves a lot of time to think.
I thought a lot about family, friends, and life.
Why am I so mean to that one friend of mine?
Why did that person hurt my feelings?
Why don’t I spend more time with my dad?
Why do I care so much about the little things?
How am I going to get everything done that I need to get done?
Do the people in my life know how much they mean to me?
Do I mean just as much to them?
What can I do to help with world issues?
Why do people like the things they like?
How can I be more patient with other people?
How am I going to arrange my new apartment?
Who’s going to help me move?
How do I become more confident with being me?
Why am I so shy sometimes?
Should I get red Adidas or save my money?

I love my family so much.
I love my friends so much.

I’m so happy I’m sober.
Seriously, I’m so grateful I got sober.
Thank you for the life I have.
