Move On

Some advice that I always receive has always reminded me that moving on from situations that no longer serve you, benefit you or make you happy are not worth your time. For those that are soon going to be entering their twenties — listen up, this is especially for you.

As we hit this age, a constant worry if we're doing the right thing is a weight on our shoulders nearly 24/7. Some thing that I do want to remind you is that not everyone's success is achieved throughout the same journey. I might go through hell and back while ending up where I intend to be, meanwhile the next person has everything and anything given to them. That's just the way life is. With this, comes the tendency to cling on to old relationships just because apparently "you're too old to take interest into other people" or settling for the person you're with now is what you were brought up to do. With jobs are the same thing. Do not feel like you have to stay at a job for the simple fact that it pays well and has great benefits. If you're miserable there and dread getting ready every morning — it is a clear sign that that occupation is not for you. You're not happy, move on.

I want to see you step outside of your comfort zone. Moving on from old jobs, relationships, friends and etc. is not a bad thing. Prosperity is something that I would like to see more become comfortable with actually. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is something that takes time with — yes, but rarely results in failure. Try to go above all means necessary with the next goal that you intend for yourself. If this one didn't work out, there's no need to need to get frustrated and give up right then and there. New opportunities will then be flourished in your life and you will meet new people with more inspiring stories.

On the other hand we have the old saying "if you wanted it bad enough, you'd have it by now" — and I disagree with this. I want you to keep in mind that your and everyone else's scenario is different, and there is nothing wrong with starting from nothing. I think that makes your success even more beautiful. Like I've said before — everyone's journey is different; and I'm pretty sure you've caught on by now that life is not necessarily fair. Think about how you will look back at all you have done and how proud you will become. Introduce yourself to patience and you see how well your attitude on certain things change.

Work hard and stay focused. Everything is in divine order.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2000
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
