Do What You Want And Do Not Give Up!

Chase your dreams, don't cling to the "what if's."

Do What You Want And Do Not Give Up!

How many of you yearn to follow your dreams, but because of fear, you decide not to chase them? You end up stuck with a career that brings you financial sustainability but no enjoyment. I am part of the few that chases her dreams but realizes halfway that the goals are more prominent. No, I haven't stop chasing them. I am working twice as hard to accomplish them. For some reason, I feel that I haven't accomplished much. Not sure if that's a me-thing or "everyone in their early 20's" feels that they haven't accomplished much. Who are we comparing ourselves to when it comes to accomplishments? Maybe we feel that way because time is passing by and nothing is sufficiently concrete.

First of all, we should stop feeling that we have not accomplished much. No one is expecting you to be a millionaire at the age of 20. Second of all, you are working your way to your dreams. If you believe in something, you can fight for it and make it happen. There will be moments when you subconsciously compare yourself to your peers feeling that you have not done much in your life, and that is okay. We all have our moment of weakness. But guess what? That is okay.

Here is what I want you to do. Make a schedule where you spend time building up to your dreams, a program not only gives you the feeling of having yourself together, but it makes it easier for production. Now, if you can't stick to a plan, then you will have to find an alternative way. Stop thinking about what others have accomplished, focus on you. Stop focusing on what you have not gained. Focus on pushing forward. Manifest your future, and it will come true. Think about your goals as a 'when' rather than a 'what if.' Remember, everything takes time. Be patient, keep working, and the day will come when you no longer have to chase your dreams.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
