To The Girl Always Looking For More

You're not crazy for wanting to live instead of just existing.

To The Girl Always Looking For More
Brianna Roberts @snapshots.by.bri

Whether you grew up in a small town or a big city, you know how much there is to see outside of where you live. No matter how many times you hear the song "It's a Small World After All", you know that it's really not. You know that there are thousands, if not millions, of places to explore and billions of people to meet. You know that there are endless possibilities for who you can be and what you can become and you don't want to just sit back and watch all of those possibilities pass you by.

Maybe you feel obligated to stay where you are because of the people you're attached to like friends and family. Maybe work or school is holding you back. Maybe you're not financially capable of leaving just yet. Maybe you just can't convince yourself to take that first step. Maybe you already have taken that first step. No matter where you are in your journey or what your path may be, planned or otherwise, never let anyone or anything create a roadblock on your path, not even yourself.

Maybe your leap of faith isn't leaving your city or state or country. Maybe something more for you is just a new job or going to college or even just trying a new sushi restaurant. Your something more doesn't have to be an elaborate "Eat, Pray, Love" montage and you aren't crazy for wanting to live a little instead of just existing. You'd be crazy if you didn't want something more or something better for yourself. Life is too damn short to be living with "what if's" or "I should've's". No not everything is going to work out perfectly every time. But wouldn't you much rather say you tried than to say you never even gave it a second thought? I know you scroll through social media and wish you had the lives of some of the people you see, but you don't have to sell your house and travel around the world to live your best life. You just need a little bit of courage, a little bit of crazy, and a whole lot of faith that everything will end up alright 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…
