As I mentioned in class today, I dealt this summer with a great deal of inconsistency--among and within my friends, my activities and passions, and myself--and as a result, I grew in countless ways. Still, I've never loved change, and adjusting to it was difficult. When it felt like everything was shifting in an unfamiliar direction, I found it comforting to develop a schedule for myself. I lay in my bed at night and actually looked forward to the next day when I could begin my routine again--I exercised, ate well, spent time with friends, and followed TV shows to add some sort of rhythm to my life. It was through these repetitive actions that I was able to move forward through emotional hardships.
