The Stable
Where ever this finds you, I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve been very busy as of late gathering all the proper paperwork and references in the hopes of landing my dream job. I can’t say much, but in case you’re wondering, I am applying for a Park Ranger. This is going to be a long process of paperwork and questionnaires. Wish me luck!
Besides my current status of being buried in all this paperwork. I’ve been on a personal journey as of late. Which is why I’ve logged off of most social media platforms. To be honest, I have no need or desire to share my life with anybody but those who take residency in my tiny bubble. In doing so, I’ve found not only a great sense of relief, but gratitude for the little things in life and those who I get to share it with. Most days, if I’m not traveling, hiking, or at a concert. I’m walking my dogs and listening to music on my airpods. To tell you the truth, it’s my favorite moment of the day. There’s nothing I look forward to most after a long day of bartending, than when I get to retreat into solitude. When I press play, the world disappears, and it’s just me and my thoughts. Where I find trouble expressing myself, music is there to speak for me.
Where I am right now in my life is nice. But I have big ideas and it’s far away from California. It’s a shame most people can’t see this for me due to their own selfish desires. But that’s none of my concern. Only I know what is right for me. So, I keep my thoughts close to my chest. Like a garden that I attend to regularly. To water and nourish and watch grow. It’s my metaphorical stable.
“The key is keeping yourself to yourself. In that way, no one can truly define you.”
