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?
