new skill

bal⋅ance [bal-uhns]
–noun
1.a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution
of weight, amount, etc.

Balance. For some, it's everything- it's the only thing. For me, not so much. My whole life I've been extreme. All schoolwork, or no schoolwork. Constantly working out, or not at all. Never did I venture into that middle ground... I wish I knew why. Because apparently, that's where all the happiness was hidden, and I was just too stubborn to find it.

My past few days I've been experimenting with how to balance aspects of my life. And I gotta say, it's a pretty phenomenal skill. So simple, yet so effective. Maybe you have all been practicing balance your entire lives, honestly, that wouldn't surprise me. I'm not the most normal human being, and I like it that way. But, as it turns out, I also really like a little schoolwork, a little downtime, a few chores, and getting a healthy amount of sleep. Does wonders for a girl!
