Like a Phoenix

As I was driving back from spending the weekend with the man I'm more than willing to call the love of my life, I did some self-reflection. Lately, it's felt like my anxiety hasn't given me many breaks. It comes and goes in waves, usually at inopportune times. What I realized, though, is that it is no indication of me being at a standstill. In fact, it has coincided with some great things for me: a new identity as an instructor, welcoming the identity of boyfriend again, and learning how to adjust to a new flow in my life. So, I came to the conclusion that I should give myself a break and a pat on the back. At the same time.
