The Balance

My life is going at lightening speed right now.

From applying to internships abroad (right now it's at Nepal or Peru or Ecuador) for the summer, to just starting a new job, and now starting to really delve into searching for graduate schools, and starting to gear myself towards the Masters programs I am interested in. In less then two years I will be getting ready for grad school. In less then a year, I will be applying to grad school. 

My head is anywhere but where I am at. 

And it's all exciting and great, and maybe a way to escape this cold weather freeze that is happening in Baltimore right now, but I'm trying so hard to remind myself that I am not actually in a 100 m race right now. It's amazing how quickly your brain can kick into moving at the speed of light, attempting to transport you into the future sometimes. 

Slowing down for a few seconds, trying to to feel the excitement but not letting it overwhelm me. It's easy to let my dreams replace my reality, and I have done that so much in the past and it has gotten me nowhere. Trying to find the balance, the balance, the balance.
