I know how much fun it can be to do things like shopping and seeing movies out in a group but there are times when doing these things by yourself can be so healing. Yesterday I needed to go shopping and instead of going shopping with others I decided to go by myself and find what it is that I needed and so much more. of course it's nice to have someone there with you to tell you what looks good or if it's worth investing your dollars in but sometimes it's rewarding to just trust your own instincts. Too many voices can clutter your mind and result in unsuccessful trips. However don't neglect those outings, those are always moments to remember! 13.

Dearest friends, I'm do apologize. I've been very busy and very distracted for the past few days so even though I didn't entirely blank on blogging yesterday, I certainly spaced on remembering to go back and post. Anyway number 7 came to me yesterday while I was having a girls' day out with my mom and sisters. The four of us and my younger cousin went to go get our nails done and while I was sitting there in the large massage chair getting my pedicure I realized how infrequently I do things like this. So for day 7 I vow to start caring for myself much more. whether that means monthly manicures or making time for a bath, it shall be done. #15
So I was sitting in Starbucks the other day overhearing the most superficial conversation that I've heard in a while when I realized that only about 4 years ago I was probably having a conversation that was even more superficial and I felt just as strongly about it as they do. My life changed though when I got to college but not immediately. The experience that I had studying abroad in London during my first year of college was empowering, and life changing. It was after being there and meeting two of the best friends that I'll ever had, that I realized how much I didn't want to go home and have those superficial conversations again. Unfortunately, it took a few more years to realize that meant that I had to get rid of superficial relationships first...some of them harder than others. With all of this being said, I need to find the real meaning of my life and what it is that I truly want for myself and who I want in it. Approaching 22 I'm still pretty young but definitely in that place where there's still time to mess up but not so care-freely anymore.
So I've already started with 22 days of things that I want to do when I'm 22 years old. |
