its ok to have nothing to do. its ok to step away from what is comfortable and discover a different part of yourself. deal with what happens to be thrown into your face - sort it out. today i banged my head right into a challenge, it hurt, and i must say tears were there to help digest the shock. at least i know i can always rely on my friends for a good ol' cliché to encourage me to see reason; 'everything happens for a reason man', 'it was obviously meant to be'...as much as hearing the generic phrase is hard to accept or may just be something that is said because there is nothing else to say - it worked like a bandaid. at the end of the day...i'll live.
