My interpretation of how 3 months in Uganda has transformed me. Includes some of my journaling during my stay as well as other personal thoughts, reflections and just the honest truth about what goes on inside my head.

Stuckkkkk
I haven't been as dedicated to my blog as I probably should be. Not that it matters since I only have 1 follower (you know who you are haha). I honestly just feel like life hasn't been all that exciting lately.
I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing. I know this. I'm not happy. Actually, I am happy.. it's more that I am unsatisfied with how my life is right now. And I know I need to change it and I am taking small steps toward doing so. But somehow I feel so completely stuck. Like the responsibilities hovering over my head are holding me back. My constant criticisms of myself and the way I have handled things in my life recently are also holding me back. The frustrating thing is that I know all of these things and I know what needs to be done to create a change but it seems that actually doing this is impossible.
I feel like the life is being sucked out of me. Work is taking up all of my energy right now. I feel more exhausted than ever. My body aches. I feel like crying at some point almost every day and sometimes I don't even know why. No matter how many times I keep telling myself that this is all only temperary - that I just have to keep my head down and focus on work for a while, each day still seems so difficult to get through.
I plan things that I should be excited about but I know deep down that I am not truly feeling the excitement. I'm going to Victoria next weekend, camping a couple weekends after that, and Kelowna the weekend after that. I should be stoked. I've actually accomplished quite a few things off my to do list. But these things aren't making me feel the way I thought they would. Yes, of course I do feel really happy that I am so lucky to be doing all of the things I hoped I would do when I got back home but it's just on the surface that I'm feeling this.
