I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again.
Just when you think you are getting your life under control, a curve ball comes out of left field and all of sudden you are trying to do too many things at once.
I sometimes wonder, perhaps my life wasn’t meant to be straightforward and simple. maybe I’m not meant to be idle, or sit still, or ever get more than six hours sleep a night.
Some people are always ‘on’, forever running at 100 miles an hour and full of energy.
Whilst I might not be full of energy at 6am, or if I am running low on caffeine, I do think I am one of these people.
Try as I might over the past few years, the quiet life is not for me. Everytime I try and make an effort to lower my stress levels and fly under the radar, a million things I want to do happen at once.
And, while I lie in bed at night wondering how the hell I am going to get everything done, I don’t think I want it any other way – even when I am still lying awake planning at 3am.
Right now, I am busier than ever. I have two part time jobs, multiple freelance clients, a social life, family and the need to occasionally paint my nails and have time for them to dry.
It’s mental. But I don’t want it any other way.
I am almost blissfully happy – so much so that I worry something awful must be just around the corner.
There are challenges, excitement, learnings, new people, amazing opportunities and something I have waited ten years for. I really could not want for anything at the moment.
However, there are only 24 hours in every day, and only 60 minutes in every hour. No matter how hard I try, time is the only thing I can’t change or get more of.
So for a little while at least, the Style Emporium needs to take a back seat to the work that pays for the trips to Paris.
But never fear – I am never far away, and always around on Twitter (@sarahstyle).
