The Little Things

One of the hardest lessons to learn is that life will always have hard lessons to learn.

If you know, you know. Know what I mean? Ever think back on stuff you say and cringe? Or you leave a conversation with immediate regret because you know you shared too much? That’s pretty much me. EVERY. DAY. And it’s been that way forever. I have report cards from like the 2nd grade that say “Kris needs to stop talking.” Ironic since one of the reasons that we go to school is to learn to communicate. But whatever.

I realistically understand that most won’t read what I write in this blog. And that what I say will not make much of an impact for many and that isn’t why I write it all down. This is one of those lessons… I am trying to teach myself to express my feelings but not invalidate them by deleting the blog all together. So yeah, I cringe when I look at the posts of the past month or so and wonder just what I was thinking. Just let it go… you said. Move on.

This is me moving on… so I am focusing today on the little things. Like this photo of Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey McGuire. Epic. It had to be done. It’s going viral this morning, as it should. It’s FUN. And since these past couple of years have been kind of a shit show for so many people, I invite the FUN. We NEED the fun. We crave it. More, please.

I wrote in a previous post about “love languages”… mine is quality time. I will soon get to spend some quality time with my daughter which I haven’t in almost a year. When your child meets someone, you learn to take a backseat. Another hard life lesson I have been given, so I have been forced to spend time with myself. Has it been quality? Not quite. I need to learn how to do that. I am making it my goal to learn to have quality time with myself. But in the meantime, we will get to travel to New York soon and I look forward to coming back and reporting on how our quality time went. We will make some new memories and I can’t wait.
