Relax, Relate, Release...

I don't know how many times I have repeated those words to myself this week, at least a hundred. It's been a complete whirlwind of emotions, stress, exhaustion and everything in between. And though I can say that I have not learned to relax relate and release in these moments, I have learned that crying is completely therapeutic. The question is, when there are no more tears to cry, what do I do?

I think these moments are also harder because in a way, I am alone. Alone in the sense that the things I am experiencing I have to go through by myself in order to grow. Its hard. And its even harder because if you were to ask me how I feel, there are no words to describe it.

What's funny though is that I feel that moments like these are contagious. Ask anyone in the second year graduate film program at Howard, and you realize we all feel the same. So I can truly say this moment of unexplainable overwhelming stress is only a season.
