Long time, No blog.
So let me catch you up on my life.
Am I happy with my grades from this past semester?
No.
Did I reach my ideal weight that every girl has in her mind?
No.
Did I magically meet the guy of my dreams and live happily ever after like in the movies?
No.
Did I keep my budget in mind every time I went shopping?
Nope.
Did I make some not so smart decisions?
uhh. yeah!
Am I pleased with life at the moment?
Finally, YES!
I may not have reached every tangible goal that I set for myself these past couple of months, but I'd be a big fat liar if I say Im not finally and truly content with my life right now.
Im vacationing for a month in Germany. Learning a language that I am horrible at. Doing and seeing things I never thought I would. Making impulse decisions just because I want to. and not to mention meeting very cute European guys that think my "accent" is hilarious.
Im finally learning and taking my own advice to heart. Life is too short to worry about what everyone else will think.
No I'm not saying go out and do drugs or rob a bank or something legit stupid.
But if you want to call or text the guy that is undoubtedly bad for you, just to remember those small good moments, if only for a day... Do it! Just remember you're done with him for a reason unless some miraculous change of universe happened and he's now like Channing Tatum or Lance Gross.. (which probably won't happen. haha)
Or even if you want to rekindle that old flame who has seen you through all your "wild days" and still finds you to be the most amazing person ever… even if you know you two are on two totally different paths for life. Do it! It's nice to be appreciated just because they want to appreciate you and not because you have to nag or even threaten them to.
You want to get a tattoo of something so cool and sacred to you and everyone tells you the same "tattoos are permanent, and that idea is dumb." uhhh.forget them and go get inked!
You want to break your diet and binge eat on queso, oreos, wine and chocolate while watching every season of The Hills?
KNOCK YOURSELF OUT! and do it while you wear your footie pajamas!
Who said that all decisions based on impulse are bad decisions.
They are all lessons that will make our adult life that much more awesome.
Lately, I've been on my "living life while we're young" kick.
I make decisions that not all my friends are happy with. oh well.
I do things that some people say don't make sense. oh well.
Sometimes I throw caution to the wind &blow my budget on something really cute and sparkly because I NEEEEED it. yup.
And I haven't been this happy and content in such a long time. And the best part is, I'm finally not relying on any other person for my happiness.
Once you see yourself going in routine to meet the approval of others while you're so unhappy on the inside, it's time to make a change.
We're young. Life is made for mistakes. That's why we have wine, to wash all our mistakes down with while having girl talk.
So do yourself a favor for the new year.
Don't do the whole "New Year, New Me". that's dumb.
You're perfect the way you are. But if you look in the mirror and see that you're living to meet approval of your family, friends, and whoever else. STOP.
Make yourself happy. Or else you're going to be old and thinking "Man, I should've done (insert crazy, impulse decision here), that'd be such a good story for my grandkids."
Because Lord knows, my future grandkids are going to have a cool grandma full of amazing stories.
Remember:
Life is short.
Live it up.
Make decisions for yourself.
Do what you want, while you can.
