The piece that doesn't fit

These past couple weeks have been hard. I thought I would love being back at home with my friends and family, but it hasn't been easy. I am not finding my groove and I really just want to be back at school. With a gym, free time, and friends. 

The third night I was home from school my dad had a traumatic fishing experience and ended up rescuing someone from the river. This was not the way anyone wants to start their summer living in a river town. 

I thought I was going to be able to move on quickly, but this single event has changed the entire family dynamic. Dad isn't the same and I'm worried he won't be back to my "dad" again. He's lost his spark and energy and it is proving to be difficult for me. 

My workouts have been good. I've gotten a lot of miles in and have tried a ton of new workouts which is awesome, but I feel like I don't fit. 

I feel disconnected from people and the commonalities we used to share still exist but not to the extent they used to.

I am looking forward to my actual job starting in a few weeks so I can get into a better routine. It's also my first week at a new crossfit gym next week, so here's to new beginnings.
