| | I feel so down. Overwhelmed. Almost depressed.  I'm really struggling to not let it affect me in any way, although, I'm positive it has.
Solution: Join Habitat for Humanity!
I'm afraid to take that leap. I don't know anyone in the network, but I'm sure it'll be great once the ice is broken and I'm actively participating. I imagine it'll be similar to the feeling that people get when they don't feel like going to go to the gym, but then that positive attitude and sense of accomplishment creeps in once they complete the work out. *I'm also thinking about getting a gym membership for the first time in my life, but that'll have to be another story for another time.*
My reason for picking habitat for humanity: I wanted to give back to the community, and I thought the skills that I acquired from renovating my own house would greatly benefit Habitat for Humanity.
Also, this is with a little inspiration from Jihye. I want to help people learn to read. There's a literacy program at libraries that I too, would like to get involved with. Jihye reads to elementary students every so often, and I just think the world of her for doing that.
Now I have to hold myself accountable and follow through! Hopefully, soon enough, I'll be too busy to feel bad for myself.
