That darn hierarchy

As a sociology major, I heard a lot about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs over my time at Whitworth. (I know it's technically psych, but we definitely borrow from all the disciplines...our bad). When I learned about it, I got that feeling of "oh sure, that makes sense" and moved on.

Now in my post-grad life I'm seeing how it is very true for me. I've been so worried about getting a place to live, a job, and some stability in my life that a lot of things have fallen on the backburner. And not just silly stuff like dressing nice (yes, I count that as silly for me), but big stuff like my faith, my health, and being intellectually challenged.

When I look back over these past few months, I haven't actually DONE much and that's frustrating. I know that when I get in these big self-improvement stages, I don't always accomplish everything I need to....but this is just embarrassing.

I have so many questions about how my life should look or go and I haven't really faced any of them. I have a tendency to avoid, but I'm hoping that I can actually do stuff now.

I need a small group badly. Austin is great, but Covenant doesn't have very many people my age and I'm going a little stir-crazy on the friendship front. How do you even meet people?! Whitworth was so easy like that, and I miss being in close proximity to my closest friends. I need faith and fellowship in my life right now but I'm struggling on how to achieve it. I don't want to desert my church, but I'm not even going to church right now. I may not know much about what my life will look like, but seeking Christ is the one thing that is clear to me.

Ugh, I have to go to work. I will finish this tonight.
