Thoughts About Changing Things In Life

Change isn't always a bad thing, and you can do it at any time.

Thoughts About Changing Things In Life
LifeHack

I recently came across a post on Tumblr that outright stated that anyone can just change what they're doing in their life at any time. It was a very short post, but it really got me thinking that you can change something you don't like about your life right this very second, because why not?

Do you want to start a hobby that you've always wanted to do? Go for it. Do you have a toxic person or habit in your life? Get rid of it! It's your life and you can change it's path at any time.

I feel like people don't acknowledge this way of thinking that often because they're often caught up in their own lives trying to keep everything in order or keep everyone happy and they're just on repeat.

Of course I'm guilty of this too, but even so, it's just nice to know and have in the back of my mind that I can change anything in my life whenever I want.

I think you start to live your life to the fullest when you can think this way, and not only think it, but put those thoughts into action.

I know it's easier said then done, but it doesn't have to be anything big like dropping everything to hop on a plane somewhere. It can be as simple as rearranging the furniture in your house or stop putting salt on your food (or heck, start putting salt on your food).

You can live a completely different, and maybe even happier, life when you change it up a bit. It's something to do and it keeps life interesting.

You. Can. Do. Anything!

I think the Tumblr post that started all this thinking didn't actually start it, but just brought it to the forefront of my brain and made it more tangible.

I think I've always had these thoughts of changing, especially lately seeing my aunt and cousin start their own little side businesses doing the things they love. Not to mention, they each have a couple decades or so on me (let me follow that up with I love you and I'm sorry because I know you both read my articles). My point is that you can start at any stage in your life.

I'm 23 years old and I'm currently on a gap year of sorts just to relax, get my health under control, and figure out what's going on and what I want to do with the rest of my life. This is the most perfect time to start changing things. I can get rid of friends if I wanted to, I could go traveling, I could go back to school, I could start taking dance classes, I could move away, I could quit my job and start a new one, I could adopt a pet...and who says you couldn't do the same?

Like I said before, even if you don't do anything right now, or even later on, isn't it just a great feeling knowing that you can?

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…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

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