I'm In Love With My Life

It took me a while to realize this but I'm so glad I did.

I don't mean that my life is perfect because in no way is it. I still have those bad days and really bad days. But I've come to realize that deciding to reflect on good moments you have instead of the bad ones truly changes your outlook on life.

We're about to jump into my personal life so everyone holds on.

A while ago I went through break up. Not an easy one let me tell you. I was sad for a while and had a really pessimistic view on life. I felt like I had put all of my love into something that no longer existed and in turn, I stopped putting effort into a lot of what brought me joy.

I felt like people were the only thing you could love. I jumped around trying to find someone to hopefully fill this gap I thought was in my life,

I was determined that being in love with someone new would fix all of my sadness.

But I still found myself being unhappy.

That's when I decided I needed to focus on me and nobody else. I spent time with people that truly made me happy, and doing things that truly made me happy.

I fell in love with the late night drives where I and my friends screamed our favorite songs.

I fell in love with those moments when you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts.

I fell in love with reading good books.

I fell in love with going for runs.

I fell in love with the moments where I sat outside and looked at the stars.

I fell in love with all of these moments in my life. I keep having these moments where I feel so happy and content with where I am and I realize I don't need someone else to fill the gap because there isn't one.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
