hands and heart

I know I have not posted in like a week about anything that matters much about my life. I just cant seem to get into writing down anything because not much in my life is enjoyable. Today was an very busy day, 2 photo shoots and a bunch of other homework as well. I wake up to car problems that set me back an hour. Also got me into trouble at home. I got one cut pretty deep on my finger. Then also when I was brining my cactus to the studio to use as a prop i tripped and had to grab the cactus by the top part so I got 16 needles stuck into my hand around the same spot where i had just gotten cut. I was out all day for the most part doing these shoots, but the one 25 mins I got to come home i was welcomed by a massive camera crew. I forgot I had given permission for a film student friend of mine to shoot in my apartment. So 20 people plus all there lights and gear were packed into my small apartment. I dropped off some stuff and left again. Just kept my hands busy all day.

Even when i am blown away with work, I still find time to be introverted. lol. I think way to much about what it would be like for me to have back some of the family i have lost of the past 3 years. I dwell on somethings that will never change... It hurts my heart more then I think I can't explain here or ever. Maybe you all get it. But its like I said to Dave. Nonna and my grandfather were the most loving people in my life. with them gone I am unbalanced. Like a seesaw with one really fat kid and one skinny short kid. it just does not work. I am doomed to be unbalanced for while I fear. I just miss that kind of unconditional love. The kind where it does not matter if you have a bad morning and get a little snippy. Its the kind of love that evens out my seesaw of life, swinging happily from darker times to lighter times. Its the balance between the two that bring us the most joy. When do I get my balance back?

Beautifully written Stef. I like the analogy of being off balance on a seesaw. Someday, sweetie you will find that balance again.
I am glad that you are keeping busy but please keep your hands off the cactus. :)

Balance - oh yeah, the lack of balance. I know what you mean.

There are no easy answers and no set time line. I'm sorry you are feeling such sadness and loss.

Every time I look at your blog, I see that picture of your beautiful God son. Maybe you are supposed to be the one to teach him about love and balance, and while you're teaching, you just may find a little of it in your own life.

Just a thought...

((hugs))

Thank you Betsy. He does help a whole lot, its hard being away from him when I hardly know him. I come home and people talk about how much he has grown and how he smiles crooked. I don't know I guess I just don't get the chance to get to know him like that yet. I am missing things. Anyways thanks for the thought both of you. <3

Stef,
Thank you so much for sharing this post with us. Balance? I too like many others on here, need that too. I agree with Betsy about the baby. It is strange how some things in life
happens..sometimes it is learn or to understand. Sometimes it is to help others learn or understand. I know that you miss your Nonna and grandfather..they are just a memory away. You have so many wonderful memories of them. I have some good memories of my grandmothers but my grandfathers passed when I was a very small child..I wish I had the time with my grandparents that your had...but I'm thankful for the time that I did have. I wish that I could take the heartache and pain for you...It is wonderful to hear that you had a photo shoot. The cactus and cutting of your finger was not good news. Please take care of the finger...have a good week and please don't cut any more fingers or hurt yourself with the cactus....love ya...miss ya.....<3

beautiful post stef. after attending my workshop today, you will never (unfortunately) get your life back as you knew it or want it. instead, give yourself time to find a new balance in your life. in theory i know it's true but it's still hard to accept. i'll try if you do.

((((hugs))))) and love to you!
