Oh the Feels

My oh my what a week it has been.
And what a week it will be. I figure with all the chaos about to commence (IT'S WEDDING SEASON) it would be in my best interest to get out all the feels from this past week. I'm practicing this cool thing called self-love and allowing me to have some " Brooke Time" despite the endless TO DO list to my right.

A week ago yesterday I was a blubbering mess, sobbing in my living room whilst balancing my very much needed glass of wine on my knee,I was surrounded by some of my closest people receiving endless amounts of support and love, encouraging me to laugh in the face of bitchy-ness and hold my head high.
I had experienced a weak moment, a moment where I actually took to hearing the negative comments and attitude a fellow being had towards me.

I actually gave a damn.

SAY WHATTTT.
It does happen. And while I receive much praise for my self confidence/sure of myself aura, I'm actually quite sensitive and emotional. I tend to take things personally and I feel as if I care almost to a fault about most things.
Oh boy.
So with the craziest week of 2014 starting in less than 10 hours, complete with the philanthropy event I've been planning all semester occurring tomorrow (SLC folks, stop on by the Kappa House for Kappa Gobble and endless pie benefitting The Christmas Box House), my only sister's wedding this saturday and not to mention those needy 15 credits worth of classes and the course load that comes with it, I'm taking a minute.
But we're looking back on this past week.
I went from an emotional train-wreck attempting to quit everything and finally purchase my one-way ticket to Australia, to becoming someone's girlfriend, rescuing a shelter kitty, and never being more excited to see my crazy family in my life.
There's a reason they call the holiday's a time to give Thanks, Appreciation and to be Grateful. This past week I've received an unreal amount of support, congratulations and love from my loved ones and complete strangers.

A lot can happen in a week's time, my challenge for you, and trust me it's ALWAYS a challenge for me too, is to not throw in the towel when it seems everything is falling apart, give those who piss you off or are at the top of your shit list the benefit of the doubt,  have faith ( yes I just used that word) that the Universe has got you covered.
