Last week was incredibly overwhelming for me. By Friday, I was physically and mentally exhausted. The week was filled with worrying about my cat, trying to catch up on some school work that I had missed, attempting to keep the peace between my healthy and not-so-healthy cats, working and trying to figure out a plan for my birthday celebrations. Honestly, I didn't really feel like celebrating by the time Friday rolled around. It felt like just another day to me; that never happens. Usually, I spend the week preparing for a party-- feeling like partying. Last week, I didn't too much feel like partying.

All in all, it was a good start to the weekend. I spent the night with some of those dearest to my heart. I had a wonderful day at work, filled with surprises. Also, I had a pretty eventful, yet relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Sometimes in life, we have moments like these. They can last for minutes to days, even longer. Even though you can become down and feel hopeless, just know that everything will always work out. Even if it doesn't work out, life will go on. We tend to get stuck in ruts, per say, and it doesn't feel like we'll ever get out-- but we will. I have to remind myself that. Other people have to remind me too, when I forget to remind myself.

I'm glad I have people out there who care about me-- they lift me up when I'm feeling down. I am so incredibly blessed.

Thank you, to those of you who listened to my frustrations and heartache. Thank you for wiping my tears or hugging me close. Thank you for bringing me laughter and joy. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone. Thank you for making me believe that everything would once again, be alright.

I need that. I need you to reach out and help me. I get lost at times. Thank you for finding me. Thank you for pulling me out when I feel like I'm drowning and I can't breathe.

I have the most wonderful family and the best of friends. I thank God for each and every one of them.

Don't give in to that sinking feeling. You will overcome. You will push through the water to the air once more. You will breathe. Just keep breathing (and swimming).
