Where do I go from here?


This summer has been the most emotional one I've ever experienced. It has been one life lesson after another. It was hard to deal with everything because there were so many times that I felt so overwhelmed with everything. Everything seemed to happen all at once.

 I've been driving myself crazy waiting for the results that would forever change my future. While waiting, I started driving myself crazy. Is this what I want? What if this doesn't work out? Is my heart really in it? Where do I go from here?

 For the past year or two I knew exactly what I wanted for my future. I had a plan. I say had because it's no longer possible to follow any of that plan (No, I'm not talking about a relationship). I'm okay with it. I'm actually starting to realize that maybe this is how my life is suppose to be. Everything happens for a reason, right?

 I'm excited for this new chapter in my life. I don't know specifically where I will go from here, but I feel confident and motivated to make the best of it. I don't feel like this is a back-up plan. I don't feel like I'm settling for plan b. This is simply my life and I'm going to enjoy the ride.

    Girrrrl I am totally in the same boat as you. I was just telling someone today that I feel like I'm in limbo or like I'm stuck between trapeze bars and at a point where I can't turn around but I don't know how to move forward, either. It's so crazy and it feels SO weird when a new chapter is starting, in a scary and exciting way. I think it's only natural to question. But we can both do this!! xoxoxo

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

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...

Friday’s Letters!

Dear Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...
