A Little Blue

With the way that I've been going lately, how do I even have time to stop and analyze my feelings? For some reason after work today and having dinner at my family's house, I came back home feeling a bit melancholy. There's a heaviness around my heart and I'm not sure what the reason is. Could it be that Fall is just around the corner? I know that always gets everyone feeling a bit nostalgic...

I remember during this time of year, I would be starting new classes at school and meeting all sorts of new and interesting people. That could be another reason why the blues are upon me. But just like everything else in life, there are seasons for everything. My life is about to take on a major transition. These are the last few days of it ever being just about me. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally excited and can't wait to hold my precious baby in my arms, but I'm also saying goodbye to an identity that I've held onto for a very long time....

No more cocktail hours after work with my girlies, no more spending hours at a time in the bookstore devouring fashion magazines, and no more buying tons of makeup that I will never truly use anyways. I will miss some of that very much, I'm sure. I would be lying if I said, those things will no longer matter. But overall, I am ready for this new endeavor, it's just letting go of the old me and welcoming the new. :)
