There are many things I have learned from the past year and a half of doing this blog. I have learned about my many emotions, how I handle situations in life, how I function internally and externally, what I am looking for in life... an endless amount of learning that I am so thankful for.…
As we all know, time seems to move faster and faster each day. Every time I look at a picture, hear a song, see a friend, I'm reminded of how far back some of those memories are. They all feel like they were just yesterday. I've talked previously about how I want to…
Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
I talk a lot about my times of reflection and analyzation. I sit back and think a lot about everything. However, this moment is different. I have something on my mind today, and it hasn't taken me much thought or emotion to realize where my head and my heart are. It almost makes me…
After two exams yesterday, the rest of my September is pretty open in terms of my schedule. I am pretty excited about that open time to relax, but I want to make sure it doesn't go to waste. I especially don't want to let myself be bored and sit in negative thought because I've done…
I always want to know everything about everything. Wouldn't that make life so much easier? I find myself spinning my wheels all too often, just to find out something that is on my mind right at that moment. I am struggling with a balance between healthy learning and trying too hard to make meaning out…
I would consider myself to be a very open person. I like to discuss the things going on in my life and letting others listen to what's going on in my head and getting feedback. I didn't use to be this way. It took me a while to even talk to one person about…
I keep feeling as if my feelings change. I feel like a mixed-signal, and not much is more annoying than a mixed-signal. I don't want to give myself inconsistent feelings and I don't want other people to struggle to understand me either. I have talked recently about wanting consistency and how good that feels…
I was recently asked the question of "do you think people are truly doing their best?" I sat and pondered the question for a moment and my immediate reaction was "no". Reflecting on that further, I still think "no", but I think it's complicated. I think many people consider "doing your best" to mean…
I find myself stressing over the unit of time - well, all the time. Asking myself questions like: "What is going to happen next?" "What just happened?" "Do I have time for this?" "Where has the time gone?" "What will time tell me now?" At the end of the day, I just stick my…
