Moments of Weakness

The universe, I feel, is trying to buck my spirits up.

I've gotten these three text messages from people in the last 2 days.

Mom: "I haven't told you lately how much I love you and how proud I am of the amazing woman you have become. You rock!!! I swell with pride every time I see you. You have ALWAYS amazed me and you just keep doing it. FYI, not trying to butter you up for anything :) Sweet dreams, I love you."

Jacob: "I love you so much and am so glad to know that I will know you and love
you for the rest of my life."

Meagan: "I really sincerely mean it when I say you should just quit. Invest in yourself and figuring out your life. I don't care that he's in school and working. He makes plenty of money for you guys to be okay, if that's the problem, And if its the mental aspect of it, you not helping, so you feel like you're slacking...you're not helping by being unhappy and he's not helping by not understanding. Either way, it's going to be fine. This is going to be a conversation we have in 10 years and say, "remember that job you hated so much?" and you'll say, "OMG yes. It was hell there. I'm so glad that's over." and that'll be it. Whether you quit with a new job or quit with no prospects, I think quitting is essential and it needs to be soon. Because it takes 10 times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart. :)"

What...the....hell? Thanks universe for making me cry repeatedly for the last 48 hours. Using the allergies excuse for my red eyes will only last so long.

Also, this. So much this. It's remarkable how pertinent this song is.
