Comfortable Ruts

Do you ever get the feeling you're stuck in a rut?

Sadly, or maybe not sadly, I think my life in Waco may be becoming a rut. Not necessarily a bad rut, but I'm not sure if there are really good ruts either. This is a totally new thought, so I'm still puzzling...

I have a schedule, somewhere I have to be almost everyday. And when I'm not there, I'm too exhausted to do much more than come home and just chill. It's kind of ridiculous how much time I spend at home. Then again, when you get done with rehearsal that lasted four hours instead of three, I guess there's a reason for that exhaustion.

Sometimes I just worry that I'm not allowing myself the chances to do something beyond what this internship has become. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I'm doing here this summer, I can't imagine a better way to spend my two months. But am I becoming too comfortable in the world that just seven weeks ago I had a hard time adjusting to?

I expect such things to happen at home, but I didn't figure this level of comfort would be found so far from where I usually find comfort. It's unexpected, a little jarring, and yet a very reassuring realization as well.

You can find home anywhere. I've found it in Waco. And unfortunately, I'm leaving in about three weeks. That kinda sucks...really sucks. If it wasn't for the fact school starts up again in about a month, that would be a very sad thought for me.

But, I have a feeling new adventures always make themselves known when comfort is found where your last adventure took you.

Until next time, find comfort, but get ready for your next adventure too.
