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

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 ...
