"In My Mind"
I've been reflecting a lot lately on the pathway of life.
From May of 2014 until now, my life has changed drastically on many fronts. I've moved - twice. I got a new job, a job in an industry I never really saw myself being seriously involved in. An industry that my educational background wasn't leading towards. My title and responsibilities at said job have also constantly been under change and evolution. I've gone through changes in my circle of friends. A long-standing relationship I was in came to an end. There have been changes within my family and the state of relationships between family members.
Oh yeah, it's been quite the mind fuck (in both positive and negative ways).
Because of all this, I started reflecting on the Danielle of a few years ago and the Danielle of more than a few years ago and what she expected/envisioned/hoped for the Danielle of today. In most aspects, the Danielle of today is a surprise. Not the plan. Not what was expected. In some aspects I started to feel like I've "come up short" and this thought started to make me feel underwhelmed with my own life and like I had disappointed myself somehow.
I was talking to my friend about this emotional phenomenon and she sent me this song. It hits the nail right on the head - the over-analysis of life and existence and over-critiquing of self and reminds the listener that we are all evolving and that the person you are today can still be the person you always wanted to be, but only if you pay attention to your life before it's gone.
I wanted to share it in case anyone else needed a similar pick-me-up.
Have a happy and safe holiday <3
