Recently (like last night into today), I feel like I have gained a tad more burdens than I can carry. The responsibility and planning of an event is now being handed off to me, even though it wasn't supposed to be. Ants invaded my kitchen like a month ago. After putting out liquid bait, they disappeared, but have recently come back. Today, there was supposed to be someone coming to fix that problem. It's 4pm and still, not one person. My dog hasn't been doing too good. She's getting old and the medicine that she's taking for her heart is causing kidney problems. And to make matters worse, my parents are on vacation. When my mom leaves, she suffers from a bit of depression. Obviously, not helping her situation any. The first youth group meeting is approaching, fast. And I still don't have volunteers who aren't parents. The first night, the parents are supposed to attend with their children, not be helping me. Suddenly, there's criticism coming from everywhere about the plans I've made for the youth group. From the food options, to the topics, to the icebreaker, to the time, everyone has an opinion. And it seems none of their opinions match up with what I have planned. On top of all that, I haven't spent time with a lot of my friends for at least a month now (most of them more than that).
But that's going to change soon. We're supposed to hang out tonight. When one of them texted me asking what I wanted to do, what I thought we should do, I said I wanted to escape the stressors of my life. I really hope this time with my friends, this time to unload all my feelings, this time to just relax, will really help me to fell less loaded down by burdens. And then tomorrow when I go to mass, I pray I'll feel even less loaded down.
