If you read last night, I had a breakdown. I needed to write about it, get it out of me and then try to move on. This morning has been better (no anxiety, yay!) and my Johnny comes home in a week. Everyone has their ups and downs, right? I feel like I just needed a good, healthy cry.
Working through my morning routine, I stumbled upon a quote on someone’s Tumblr that shook me to the core. It made me re-think everything I felt bad about last night and put things in perspective for me.
The Dalai Lama, when asked about the most surprising thing in Humanity said:
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
It’s almost as if someone directly put this in my life to read today. So whoever in the universe is responsible for this, thank you.
In other news, I think I found a super cute apartment in Buenos Aires a little more in my price range 
I love it, especially that balcony! And it’s not $5000 a month! Score.

That quote is so apt, and cuts right to the core. Your health is your main priority. When you are well, you can live. The rest is external pressure.
Totally. My mental health right not is suffering, and I can’t get anything else done. I have faith that everything will eventually work out, once I’m not working here anymore.
Everything WILL work out for you. Tell yourself everyday how strong you are, and how you’re going to make it!
Brilliant quote!
I hadn’t seen that before. Thank you for posting.
Wow…..see? The universe does work in mysterious ways. I know you cant hear me all the way over here in Georgia but i’m totally jumping up and down cheering for you! So excited that you found a really cute apartment too!!!!!!
YES! That quote is awesome, and I had never seen it before either. I might steal that to use at some point.
And so timely!! Glad for you. And that apartment is super cute.
That quote is incredible and encapsulates everything I want to live for.
And I just love that apartment. How is it that apartments in beautiful far off cities always look so beautiful but can you get one in your hometown? Nooooo.
