Why Life Is Scary And What We Need To Do About It
We Heart It

Time. That is what's scary about life. Time goes by with a blink of an eye. You may hear this a lot, but it is true. It makes you want to wish everything could slow down for a bit. The sad reality is that it's not going to slow down. You may think at this moment your life is moving pretty slow, but honey, it is only going by faster. I want to talk about this because there are a few things I believe we should do since life goes by pretty fast without us even knowing.

The first thing I highly encourage everyone to do is to spend time with loved ones--family and friends. I know, this is pretty cheesy but it couldn't be any truer. In regards to your family, you should cherish the moments spent with them because it sadly may not happen in the future. In regards to your friends, just enjoy every moment you get with them. Stop staring at your phone and actually spend quality time with them because friends come and go in life--who knows the friends you have now may not be there for you in the future.

Do what you love. If you're stuck at a loser job where you get paid a loser income, just stop. Stop working there. Do something with your life and go find a better job where you will get the amount you should be getting paid. Life is too short to flip burgers at a fast food restaurant (I know not all of you probably flip burgers but you get what I'm saying!) You deserve so much better than that.

Life is way too short, so why not be adventurous? This world is so huge and there is so much that needs to be explored, by you! You'll learn a lot about the planet you live in and also learn a lot about yourself too by being adventurous. If you don't have the money now to do such a thing, then save up! Save up those moolahs because in the end you will know it was worth it.

Another thing you should consider is to get out of your comfort zone. Go do something that scares you. Again, life is too short. It's too short to hide underneath your covers and not do stuff that will give you the thrills. Stop being so scared and overcome your fears. If it's going to take some time for you to get out of your comfort zone then that's totally fine. Just give it a while and work on overcoming your fears.

Life does go by super fast and it's about time we start taking some actions because time is not going to slow down for us. It's not going to slow down for anybody.

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…
