“One Foot in Front of the Other”

..is literally my go-to line for when I’m stressed and someone asks how I’m doing lol.

“Hi Trin how are you??”….”Oh yeah you know! Just keep puttin’ one foot in front of the other.” Kind of a lame line now that I think about it. BUT it’s T R U E. Think about it. You have a f*cked up day? Well.. you literally have to walk to get to your bed..or your car…or your therapists office. SO no matter how bad it might seem, you technically are always moving forward. I find that the more steps you put between you and the shit bothering you….the easier it gets to overcome it. So technically, it’s not a cliche. It’s simply facts.

So that’s what I’m doing. I’m walking. Or stepping rather. Stepping to my new job orientation, to my car, to the gym, to this coffee shop I’m in & I’m drinking GREEN TEA in order to balance out the coffee I had at 8am. Does anyone else do that? Like IDK getting tea somehow feels more like “imhealthyandmylifeisputtogether” vibes. Kind of like when you get your nails done, get a haircut or get a fresh wax (sugar in my case). For some reason coffee feels more like a bandaid drink and tea feels like a lets-fix-the-actual-problem drink…I digress.

One foot in front of the other. PA school? Still on the fence. Still unsure what my path will be and I pretty much have to decide in the next few weeks what I’m gonna do. Complied with other responsibilities and emotions that come with being a human woman, it still feels like the weirdest crossroad of all time. ON THE BRIGHTSIDE: H.E.R and Saweetie came out with a new collab, the gas I got today was under $4 and my green tea HITS. Plus my online job training for a new urgent care (*yes another one*) was actually only like an hour long and not the predicted three.

Its a rainy Monday here in Portland OR USA and today’s blog post does in fact have a purpose. Besides reiterating the fact that my life and career path feels like putting together a broken plate with a glue stick, it is in fact to say that putting one foot in front of the other does work. Sometimes it’s literally all we can do, it’s our best. And as I’ve said many times (& like my yoga teachers say): sometimes your best is all you can do, and your best is always enough.
