Downfalls of being a princess..

 

To say I’m frustrated would be an understatement. I’m completely fed up.
Am I really writing a blog post while I’m fuming mad? Sadly, yes.

Lately, I feel like I’m constantly being tested. I’m at the point that I’m just done.
I woke up this afternoon after having the most amazing dream about Nashville.
I check my phone, see that I have to go into work early.. which gives me 2 hours.
Instantly I’m stressed about my homework I need to do. I go downstairs to get coffee..

Coffee in hand, I start pacing. I start thinking of every little thing that’s been pissing me off.
I spend about 25 minutes looking like a crazy person, just walking back and forth.
I grabbed my phone and wrote that status. I kept reading it over and over. It felt good.

I have a lot on my plate. I constantly fear a mental breakdown. But, I don’t have time for a breakdown.

Most people don’t take the time to really get to know me. I don’t really like to open up to people.
I have this awesome ability to hold things in until I can’t anymore. Stress, pain.. everything… I hold it in.

When people look at me they assume I’m a bitch. They assume I’m stuck up and that I’m an idiot.
Because, apparently you can’t care about your looks, be a good person and be smart.

Another thing people don’t understand is my sarcasm.
I can say something extremely sarcastic with a straight face, no emotions. It’s either funny or it makes me a bitch.
Or if someone jokes with me I’ll say something sarcastic back and apparently that makes me sensitive.

People read me completely wrong. If they take the time to get to know me, they’re shocked.
But, I don’t make an effort to get people to see all that I am. Maybe I should.. I just don’t.

I’m at the point that I’m so sick of people thinking they can walk all over me or talk down to me.
I don’t like to “put them in their place” because usually it doesn’t really get to me. I ignore it and keep going.
Typically it’s because I see the good in people.. often when I shouldn’t. That’s a huge downfall. HUGE.

My thoughts are all over the place, as well as my emotions.
I’m happy, I’m sad, I’m angry, I’m worried, I’m hopeful, I’m curious…
I can’t even successful put together a post. I’m sorry if you read this and can’t understand any of it.
I’m a strong girl. I just chose to write a post on one of my weakest days. Sigh.. Great blogging skills..

I want to grow from my struggles.
After all, I have “Trust You Struggle” tattooed on me for a reason..
I want to be strong enough to do what’s right for me.
I need more sleep. I need a clear mind.
I need to be more selfish.

  1. Sorry you are feeling like this!!! People love to judge - it's all based off their own ignorance. Just do you the best that you can. I feel the same way sometimes, work and school, and housework, relationship, just LIFE all piles on and makes you want to crack. Sorry you're feeling so stressed out, hope the feeling passes soon!

  2. Some people have nothing better to do with their time... Keep your head up girl & it's absolutely okay to be selfish sometimes! It's something that is hard to do for some of us, but it is definitely a necessity at times :)

  3. Dont listen to what others think about you and if they care that much then they are obviously unhappy in their own life so they put others down. Your doing great!

  4. Are we the same person? Every single thing you just said about how people interpret you and your demeanor, I relate to.

    "When people look at me they assume I’m a bitch. They assume I’m stuck up and that I’m an idiot.
    Because, apparently you can’t care about your looks, be a good person and be smart." - Boom. We're on the same page chickadee! Just keep your pretty head held high and truck through it. Let the haters hate but don't let it get to you. :)

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
