i just keep getting older....

seriously? i dont know what happened today, but im sitting in my room, just thinking....not on the phone, or on my computer, just sitting in silence thinking about the past few month, past few weeks,  replaying today in my head, thinking about the future, just everything that my brain doesnt ever stop thinking about. im always thinking, always planning, always wondering, but just because im thinking doesnt mean that im actually processing.  but today i let it sink in,  it dawned on me, hit my like a ton of bricks falling from the sky....I'm going to be TWENTY SEVEN this year! OMG! Really? 27? I do not feel twenty seven. Like, I'm suppose to be a real adult. I should feel like an adult right? and thats what boggles my mind because I dont know what it feels like to feel like an adult. I see people that are only a year to couple years younger than me, they are married, have families, have houses, a dog, a cat and children! Im going to be 27 and I barely have any of that. i have dog, pretty sure im going to live with my parents till im 30+, and the only real thing of value that i own, is my iphone. i sleep, i eat, i sometimes go to class and i go to work. that is my life. like i want to someday have a house of my own, be a good wife to someone, cook well burnt meals, have children and hopefully raise them to NOT be anything like myself...one day. but then i think, one day? maricel, youre 27....one day is going to be ten years from now! and in ten years im going to be EVEN older! omg i dont even want to think about. but then again, im not old....but im not young either. see where im headed with this? in a circle full of confusion. eck! it makes me laugh because i remember thinking when i was 21, what would i be like when im 30? we'll its getting closer and ill soon find out.

today i got off work a few mins early and i just decided to leave. i didnt txt anyone, i didnt call anyone...my goal was to miss traffic and get home before 6p. well an hour and half later im home. walk my dog, enjoy the weather, give my puppy some attention and get a little exercise in before the night is over. plus, the minute i walk into my room, i know im not going to do anything else but sit down. im so exhausted today for some reason. being a woman really sucks sometimes. and yes im a typical woman who has that time of the month where i get cranky moody emotional and everything else in-between. in these times of hormonal confusion my mind is just all over the place.

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
