February Review: 5 dollars

Hellllo!
Month two has come and gone, and we've had some lovely (Seriously, lots of love in these posts) over the past 28 days. As always, here's a recap:

#36: Tulips- Cutest roommate appreciation post ever
#37: Parents- takes one to love one
#38: Domenic- From mom, with love
#39: Reflexivity- "I want to see you be brave"
#40: Looking Ahead- for the next six weeks of school
#41: Cosmic - To N, xoxo M
#42: Legally, Taylor- she did it y'all
#43: Love loves, love- that's a lot of love
#44: Do that one unexpected thing- so it begins...
#45: The Wake up- a must read; plain and simple
#46: Absolutely nothing: just a little ramble on my behalf.
#47: ReJoyce- tales of a successful marriage
#48: Dance first, think later- a form of flight for the soul
#49: Across the Kilometers- good friends, good times
#50: Consistency, and Courtney- beautiful words for a beautiful girl 


This past few weeks have been a bit tumultuous, but there have definitely been some very high points. Every time an #mog came in, the days got better, no matter what. I've definitely settled more into a routine of managing your posts while trying to lead a grounded day to day and it's a very exciting thing to realize something so big has become so routine-it means it's a habit. Let's perfect it.

I've come to a lot of realizations about myself, who I chose to be surrounded by, my future career goals and what else is there to do. No matter what the topic, there's a consistent metaphor of the full circle: everything's coming it's way back around. Some echos of karma, but moreso, a refinding of what was always there.

Yesterday I went to school with five dollars in my pocket that I planned to buy breakfast with. When it came time to pay, that blue bill was nowhere in my bag. I'm pretty scattered brained by nature- I lose things all the time, but I was really set on not losing that bill. As a broke students, sometimes five dollars is just as important as five thousand dollars. So I was so mad at myself when I thought I had lost it. After a full 9-5 day of school, on a Friday nonetheless, I ended up back in the same cafeteria to have a quick dinner with the other half of the team. On our way to the bus, we took the same stairwell that's tucked away in the corner of the space; I really don't think many know about it. What's sitting on the floor, but a five dollar bill; in a very close spot to where we were in the morning; folded in the same way and even the same print (new plastic version rather than the old paper one).

Maybe someone else had dropped five dollars today; maybe I was caught on camera for some secret project that judges people for what they pick up off the ground, maybe it was just good luck, maybe it's a testament to the people at school who don't want to pick up five dollars that isn't there's... maybe it's just everything coming back around.
Be prepared to get back from the universe everything you put into it.

Alright March, let's do this.
