I was having one of those, “breakdown sobbing in a bathroom stall at work because I feel overwhelmed by just how extremely broke I am and that is not how my college self imagined my adult self would be after x amount of years working in my career and now I feel completely stuck in a dead end job and can’t even buy ramen noodles for lunch” kinda days (due to some mini work drama that simply served to exasperate my situation) so I had to get out. Go for a walk. Clear my head, wipe my nose, dry my tears. For a few hours this morning, NYC was absolutely gorgeous with sunlight, blue skies, and a hint of spring warmth. I wandered wherever the pedestrian lights would allow me to go at crosswalks. I turned a corner onto yet another shaded street and for whatever reason, looked up, above the heads of people walking towards me.Light. Light had found its way, bouncing and reflecting and joyously dancing onto an otherwise dark shady street scape. That’s life.Light will always find a way into darkness.I must be my own light and find a way to get through this. I need to just keep searching for the crack, the space, the chance that will allow my light to break through and into this current shroud of darkness that is threatening to smother me. Light. -- source link
