lately I feel like I am in a perpetual state of waiting. and I absolutely can't stand that. back in what I now refer to as my "previous life", i.e my life before moving to arizona, I used to love living in the moment. there were so many wonderful things to live every day for. and each of those days was full, brimming to the top. friends. family. love. laughter. and now? life is pretty lonely in tucson. while I adore our new home, and while I am enjoying making it ours, I am realizing just how empty the days seem. the more time I spend painting and decorating, the more I think about how quiet life has become. it almost makes me laugh, thinking that you really should be careful what you wish for. back in the "old life", I would have given anything for a moment of peace and silence. now, that's what I've got. in more portions than I can stand. when I wake up, I want something to look forward to. don't we all? dear tucson, work with me. because I am trying. well, enough sullen-ness for today. it must be the weather.

I'm always so wowed by your outfits. I love how you put clothes together.
ReplyDeleteI didn't eat very healthfully yesterday, but I did eat vegan! I'm really excited to see some of your recipes, b/c I've been in a bit of a food rut lately . . . meaning I've been eating a lot of lentils.
Hello There Miss Megan!

Yes, owning a new home, even in a populous neighborhood can lead to temporary feelings of loneliness. Never fear! It will pass, especially for a friendly and outgoing soul such as yourself.
ReplyDeleteNo more melancholy! You look fab in these pictures!! :)
ReplyDeleteyour bangles are so gorgeous! i always love your accessories...
ReplyDeleteand i totally know how you feel being in a transition period myself.... when i move back to ottawa it will be SO lonely! I'm counting on the fact that when i find a new job, or a new gym I'll find someone. Its almost exciting though having to come up with a new routine, isn't it? you kind of get to mold it into the life you've been picturing...
these photos are gorgeous. That first one looks like its supposed to be in a magazine editorial! Hope you start feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteI am IN LOVE with this look. It's so laid back, casual, carefree, and totally beautiful. I love the colors, and I love the pictures that you took as well. I hope that things get better for you. I find myself feeling that way as well, and I pray that for both of us, it gets better.
