What are you afraid to try?

What have you always wanted to try? What is it that's holding you back? Is it fear? Yourself? Whatever it is, don't let it stop you. I know it's easier said then done, but it's certainly worth a try. In all reality, the only thing holding you back is yourself.

Sure, trying things outside of your comfort zone can be terrifying, but just imagine the feeling when you accomplish something new. The freeing feeling. Knowing that you finally broke out. Honestly, the best thing about trying something new is learning. You learn in the process, not only new information, but also about yourself.

When we learn new things, we are growing in the process. There is no progress when we stay within our limits. We are our only limit. If you really want something, you'll find a way. Sometimes it takes a little push to get you going in the right direction. Sometimes it may take you a little longer than others to try something, but don't be discouraged. We all go at our own pace, and we all eventually figure things out.

If anything, let this be a little motivation to at least, think about something you've never experienced. Think about what you want to do that you've never done before. Then from there, figure out how you want to go about things (if you're more of a planner) or if you're spontaneous, just go for it. Even if things don't work out for the best, at least you know that you tried, an you can pick yourself back up and try the next thing.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
