Comfort Zone

You know the funny thing about comfort zones?
They feel like home.
I know, I know we've all heard the
"Get out of your comfort zone" speech.
This is not it.

Since coming to college
I don't think I've ever been in my comfort zone.
Sure I've taken a few things here and there
that is like my comfort zone.
But I've never really been there.

Every day there is something new
I have to experience, I have to battle.
And it's EXHAUSTING!
A new laugh, A new smile
Just to get through the day.

There are some days
where I know I can take on anything
and I'm ready to.

But of course, there are also the days
where I feel left out, alone and unable to keep moving forward.
I've been having a lot of those days lately.
It could be the fact that it has been winter and dark.
But I think it's because I feel like no matter what I do,
I'll never get back to my comfort zone home again.
I know that its a stupid fear. I know that.
I can't help but feel it though.

Recently I hung out with my best friends.
They reminded me what it felt like
to be in my comfort zone.
They helped me feel like I was home again.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You'll never know how much that has meant to me.
