No one understood what I was going through and frankly, neither did I. I'm not going to lie it doesn't just disappear on the day but eventually you just get used to it. Also, I can understand why the apartment thing is stressing you - sorry!

Then I put them in buckets - what I can take of care right now, what is out of my control, and what has the most priority. That normally helps me!The Grits Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006169970942385916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274803016658821.post-30663905039253522202014-07-10T09:49:32.619-04:002014-07-10T09:49:32.619-04:00I completly understand the turning 25 thing.

Does it ever go away (the money stress not the money, I'll take more of that please)? And the apartment thing is pretty huge and sucky. <br /><br />And the fights with your mom. Oh gosh I'm an expert on those. They are the worst. And they always stress me out even more!! If you want to talk about them (generally, no specifics needed :)) I'd be glad to.

I like blogs that have a balance of personal life posts and buzzfeed-esque posts. That way it's like we're real friends. (hah.) I probably should have commented that on your other post, BUT oh well. Anywaysss. Stressors are stressors, no matter how big or how small. It really doesn't matter if someone else's are worse than yours. I hope some of your stress is lifted soon and you have a ton of fun in Vegas! (ramble comment for a ramble blog.

I say that with lots of love and understanding because I PANICKED about turning 25. Like, full on had a whatever-year-quarter-life-crisis. Cut my hair off, died it blonde for the first time in YEARS, and just basically cried all the time and went bat shit crazy. And then, a week or two after I actually turned 25, I was fine and life went on. So I'm glad that there is someone else in the world who thinks 25 is something to freak out over. (because it totally fucking is.) My mom once said, "stop worrying and just enjoy your life." They are simple words, but they hit me so hard. I've tried to live by that since then. Most things work themselves out, which I usually figure out after I've stressed and worried until I'm sick to my stomach. Long story short (too late): everything will be okay. And if you want to cry, cuss, bitch, complain, or worry to someone who's been there (and sometimes still is there) then I am here for you girl.<br /><br />p.s. sorry for the crazy long comment. ;)Meighanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220385417802245389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274803016658821.post-12244680247178083922014-07-09T15:34:02.307-04:002014-07-09T15:34:02.307-04:00I've been where you are right now.

Just because someone else has it worse than you doesn't make your stresses any less important, its just important in a different way.

I think as bloggers we sometimes feel like we need to keep this upbeat, happy-go-lucky, voice to our blogs and sometimes that's hard to do when things in your real life are stressful/falling apart. This is something that I too have been struggling with lately. I high-five you for being honest with your readers. I haven't found the guts to do that quite yet, but maybe someday. Just know that we're here for you any time you need/want an outside ear to listen {or I guess eyes to read, but you know what I mean}. And don't downplay whats going on. I know that sometimes it's easy to feel like we're over reacting or that we shouldn't feel the way we do because so many worse things are going on in the world, but the fact is that we all fight different battles and none of small or invalid just because they are different than those around us. They are all important.

Like you, I'm always stressed about money, even when I know I don't really need to be. And I don't have a place secured for when I move either and I'm starting to think I'll never find a place. So I know what you're going through and I know how you feel! Hopefully the fresh air brought you enough clarity to start chipping away at the stressors one at a time and before you know it things will be better than before.

For example, last night, after getting water I just stood at the kitchen sink "watching" life. I watched Adam sketching at our breaknook table and the animals all curled up together. I just kind of stood there -- looking at nothing in particular taking a moment to breathe. <br /><br />I personally love this post because it is honest and beautiful. We've all been there -- needing air and not knowing where to find it. And you did exactly what you should do -- breathe deep and try to take it all in. Sounds like you are on a good start to figuring it all out! I'm happy for you!<br /><br />-Kate<br />www.theflorkens.comthe Florkenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916792843117696002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274803016658821.post-1630049542747966322014-07-09T10:53:17.821-04:002014-07-09T10:53:17.821-04:00Sorry to hear you've been so stressed lately.....Sorry to hear you've been so stressed lately....
