Before you start judging yourself please remember that you're not the only one to go through this. I'm only 20 but I've probably spent most of my years doing this without even knowing.

Maybe you're in the same situation?

Take the Quiz and find out!

Do you tend to not take risks with your fashion or with relationships?

Giphy

This is a very surface-level example but it could be used to practice taking risks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Personally, this was one of the first things that one of my friends brought to my attention in high school about not taking risks and it really got me started in exercising taking more risks in life! Plus it was fun to start taking more risks with my fashion and hair!

Do you avoid putting yourself "out there" to pursue the things you REALLY want?

Giphy

Do you avoid making any waves or too many changes?

Giphy

Do you avoid changing traditions to avoid backlash/uproar?

Giphy

Do you stray away from appearing different?

Giphy

Do you find yourself following the crowd outside of your normal behavior?

Giphy

Do you stick to what is expected of you or what works for you?

Giphy

Do you shy away from pursuing the role of a leader?

Giphy

Does the accountability of being a leader intimidate you?

I hope you can relate because then we have 9 things in common!

I encourage you to write a list of things you would do if you weren't afraid!

Write WHY you do the questions that you said 'yes' to and jot down some ideas to combat you getting in your own way!

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."

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.
