Balance has always been a difficult thing for me to achieve. According to astrology (and the majority of my character traits), I am a Libra. Libras are defined by their quest for balance and their drive to have things as even and equal as possible. I often find myself unconsciously striving for that unattainable perfect balance, the place where everything has its place and nothing is out of whack.
Recently, it's been the precarious balance between roller derby versus family versus work. I've had to let roller derby practices fall slightly by the wayside as I strive to pay off a large student loan and hold my family together. My daughter is 10 years old and, although she acts cool, I know she would prefer that I be home more often, doing mom things like cooking dinner, watching TV on the couch and getting her off to school. Same with my girlfriend. *laugh*
I wish there were more hours in the day so that I can attend practices as much as I'd like, spend as much time with my family as I'd like and still be able to pay off the debts I've accrued over the years. I find my world getting more and more tense the more I try to shove things into places they refuse to fit.
I'd appreciate any tips. :)
