May 2018

I don't know who came up with "April Showers Brings May Flowers" because it was more like - April forgot to shower & instead brought May her half-eaten, leftover Cook Out from the week before. 

ဖ For me, May was a mix of emotions. I realized it had been a full year since I did anything productive with my life in terms of "adulting" but also realized underneath the unkept hair, fast food wrappers, and the early signs of diabetes, I had grown in a lot of ways.

ဖ For the first time in forever *insert Frozen song reference* I felt like I was gaining back weight things I didn't know I had lost. Over the past 365 days, I had strengthened my friendships, eased up on the gym, listened more & talked less, started dancing, and found out I'm not just a snack, I'm the whole damn meal (from like the dollar menu but still). 

ဖ My week days were spent driving Lyft which in all honesty, was definitely a highlight of my year. I never realized how being poor choosing to drive Lyft could lead to meeting so many interesting people. Weekends were spent catching up with friends, discovering new restaurants, and dancing. & Cindy's bachelorette weekend at Myrtle Beach was a great way to end May and jump into June. We spent 3 nights and 4 days at North Beach Plantation Resort celebrating her upcoming marriage. Being sober always make for a hell of a time but I don't know how the other girls survived - especially Becky who was 30 shots deep - nonetheless everyone crawled back to their respective homes in one piece.  




ဖ All in all - May was a great start to the frat party that was June

#Minimalism

-

What is Minimalism?  At first I thought Minimalism meant throwing out everything I own - my clothes, electronics, slightly used boyfriend. But upon reading further, I've come up with my own interpretation that minimalism is about: Living More With Less ဖ I've always been a cheap skate - one of my more attractive qualities, I know - so I figured that becoming a #minimalist would be easy, comprised of me dumping my shit off at the nearest Good Will and then slamming #minimalist into my Instagram bio. But over the course of the last few months, I've been finding out how deep minimalism reaches. ဖ My personal journey into Minimalism started this past year as a result of the never-ending obstacles that were being hurled my way: unsteady jobs, rocky relationships, financial stress, the constant battle to eat a dozen Sugar Shack donuts or hit the gym. All these "problems" - this was before the planets were in retrograde - were hitting me one after the other. ဖ A...

Where Has the Time Gone?

It has been some time, 7 months to be exact, that I have written. Even though my plans to keep up with this blog and my travel one have been unsuccessful thus far, I still like to write when I remember.  For about 6 months, I have been abroad: first traveling Europe with my parents for 2 weeks and then to Madrid where I began my studies for a Masters in Business Protocol, Tourism, and Events Management. Since my time in Spain, I have traveled to new countries in cities in Europe, made amazing friendships, and created some unforgettable memories. Now being over halfway through, the world has come to a halt as the Coronavirus has emerged and spread. What is most amazing about this new disease though is not the people who become sick but the way people have become affected and respond to the notion of the sickness existing. I will say it is sad to see the selfishness within people and the huge gap between the rich and those who are not but there are many positive glimmers of ho...

Falling In Love

-
For a long time, I've always pictured myself falling in love. Being filled with that over powering, heart bursting, love for someone else; and throughout my love life, there have been times where my heart was full with emotion but when it came to the love I held for myself, that feeling was no where to be found. ဖ As of recent, I've been thinking extensively about different aspects of my life - the friends and family I have, the quality of those relationships, what stage of life I'm in, whether I'm happy, etc. And eventually this train of thought brought me to the most important topic/question yet: Self Love. I want to clarify, before delving into this subject, that I have never hated myself and realize I'm very lucky for that because there are many people who live everyday like that BUT I can say that I am not 100% comfortable/accepting/in love with myself. I truly believe that loving yourself is often times a very lengthy, intensive, process that takes a lot o...
