From the girl who's always wanted it all

STOP Waiting And GO After What You Want

Why wait on Friday when you dread Monday's? Why wait on something when you can just have it whenever you want! This is an important lesson that I believe we should all note. Instead of waiting on something to come to you, just go out there and get it NOW! Why settle for less on something when you know you can do something about it. My parents would constantly tell me over and over, if you do not like how things are going right now, go do something about it NOW! I know that sounds like such a parental thing to say, but they never lied.

If you truly do want to go after something, you shouldn't just wait for an opportunity to do something about it. If you're unhappy with the current situation that you're in, why are you waiting for that ONE thing to do something? You should be taking in what you have control over instead of focusing on what you WANT control over. This is also important to note. I think by taking each day step by step, you will get exactly where you want to be. I know little words may not be a lot, but at least it's the truth. Just because you see someone else achieving at something does not mean that there is something wrong with you.

I believe that everyone has their timing on everything, just because your timing for certain things is not here yet does not mean that there is always something wrong with you. STOP IT! It just means that you're not set out to do everything that you want at the moment. With everything that happened last year, I realized that by having everything you want at the same time, it won't always bring you happiness. It will actually overwhelm you with unnecessary stress that you don't need.

Never make regrets, anything that you want because, in the end, you will certainly thank yourself in the long run. As I'm still going through that process on a regular basis, I know that I will certainly be satisfied in the end.

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."

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…
