slumps

tomorrow i’m leaving for my very first volleyball training camp. i’ve never been to any type of camp before so this is going to be a whole new experience. some of my teammates are going with me, so we’re going to carpool up and room together – to say i’m excited would be an understatement.

i’ve noticed that for the past few weeks i’ve been in a bit of a slump. i’ve needed twice as much sleep as usual, and i find i’m more irritable and sensitive than usual. i’m proud to say that in spite of that, i’ve been able to keep getting up in the morning and doing my daily activities. i’m able to keep going out with friends, and enjoy the moments i’m out having fun.

but nights are rough, and even though i’m surrounded by amazing people most hours of the day, i still feel lonely. but that’s something i’ve got to work through on my own. i promised myself that this year was going to be about myself. i’ve fallen for so many guys in my life, now it’s my turn; i’m going to fall for myself!

i hope that camp this weekend helps with my confidence in volleyball, and time away from my regular life will help me find some more inner balance.

i feel really vulnerable writing this post, but i’m glad i did.

i hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead ❤
