Back to the Future Day




"Your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. 
Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one!" 

Back to the Future is probably one of my all time favorite movies....all three of them put together...in a row as if it was all just one very long movie! But, it is funny to me the obsession of the future. It's funny to me that people clearly had these wonderful idea's but what resources do we not have that make them so hard to become realistic. Granted they did get a lot right. We do now obsess over technology, even at the dinner table, we do have huge flat screens, you can talk to stuff in your house, we are in love with 3D movies, and the Cub's just might when the world series. So beyond all of that I'm still wondering where is my dehydrated pizza, and my hover board, and my flying car where I could get somewhere so much faster than I do now, and we could stop putting down more and more concrete for roads and leaving our planet with no more grass. Oh well this was totally not the point of this post...the point was the quote from Doc. Brown. I have recently gone through a breakup in a 5 year relationship...which ended in an engagement being called off. In life you never know whats right you're not that lucky to have all the answers. But someone once told me its better to make a decision and it be the wrong one than not make one at all. So your life is free to be whatever you want it to be. I've learned I might be the biggest planner and have all the goals which are great qualities to have in life, but I've learned you have to go with the wind sometimes. Forget about being financially responsible. What are you gonna do travel the world when your 80. You have every right to do everything you want whenever you want! Live the life you want to live and don't let anyone tell you that you cant!

Speak Your Mind

Say what you mean but don't say it mean.  speak your mind in a respectful way

Item no.1 I've realized something, I read a lot of blogs. I realized something else, I prefer blogs that have sections and bullet points. I don't know if its because I like to read them in a hurry and sometimes only want the gist, or if its that I wanna read it all, but only certain parts pertain to my life so I get to chose what I actually read in depth. Probably leaning more towards the lazy side of me, but whatever its a preference.
Item no.2 I don't really know what my blog is about? I'm not in college anymore, I'm not traveling Europe anymore, I'm not working in Disney anymore. What could I possibly have to talk about that might interest other people? Well, to be honest...I have no idea. I like doing it, and I like talking about things that are going on my life even if they don't interest other people. I hope one day this could be useful to someone who might go through things that I have experienced. I also hope one day I will have a family and kids and be able to share their wonderful little worlds that will then forever be remembered for them to look back on. but for now, this is just my every day boring life lessons.

Words of wisdom for the day: "Say what you mean, but don't say it mean" I think about this quote and I have learned that life is short and you should get what you want. So if that means telling someone how you're feeling, that something is wrong, or something is bothering you... you should. But for this to be something that works it must be done nicely. There is nothing wrong with speaking your mind because everyone deserves to be heard. New flash though no ones going to listen if you're going to be rude. Kill them with kindness.

Adventure's Out There

You know being a big girl isn't all that great. I use to laugh when my parents told me I needed to enjoy the moment. Laughed even harder when that song "you're gonna miss this" came out and I got the awkward told-you-so glare from my mother. Yeah, not so funny now on this end of it. Granted I'm not old...I'm only 23 years old. That only what almost a quarter of my life.There is SO MUCH in life to do and people tell you that you have your whole life to do it. Which is really not true. I realized in college there was so much I wanted to do. I wanted to travel to Europe, so one Christmas break I saved up the money and was off to 5 countries. I told myself I wanted to work for Disney World, second to last semester in college I had 5 months of working my dream job. I constantly had the next thing that I wanted to do, that I was gonna work for till I got it. Great way to live, and I thought to myself "this is how I want to live my life" I want to be able to say to myself "Yep, that's next" and then DO IT. But you see now I'm out of college. I'm grateful I graduated from an amazing school (Texas A&M, whoop) I'm grateful that I had a job offer before I graduated, and I'm super grateful that I'm good at my job, I don't hate it, and the people are work with are great. BUT, and a BIG but, how is it possible that I am 23 years old and already stuck in something that is a routine of a 55 year old woman. I get up, and get to work and sit at a desk all day while my eye site deteriorates from looking at a screen all day long. So please tell me with my 8-5 job, 5 days a week, with pretty much no vacation time WHEN am I suppose to live my life? When am I suppose to do these things my parents have been telling me to and to slow down to enjoy? My personality is to set a goal, get to it, and enjoy every second of the process. But now I'm stuck, I want to do everything in the world. So there's my next mission. I want to explore EVERYTHING life has to offer.

Is that too much to ask for?

No Name

This is my blog, the one without a name. The one without a theme. The one with no outline. I've always wanted to be a blogger, but at this point in my life there is nothing extreme enough going on to make this important enough for other to want to see. So for now this is my place...to look back on and see what I was doing with my life before it all began.


Welcome to my everyday life.
