Secrets.

Life is strange. Everyone has their own path in life. Everyone has their own struggles and challenges. No two lives are ever the same. It's really interesting to me to meet someone with such a flair for life or someone who really has had to struggle through life. Like, life is not easy! Life is an adventure. Its like ur handed a set of cards, you have to play them, but how you choose to play them is your choice. My life is not where I thought it would be at being 26 years old. But it could be way worse. Who cares, I pay my rent, I pay my bills, my goals are within reaching distance, I make new goals every day, I work hard and I can play even harder. Life is a balancing act. In order for one part of ur life to be at peace u have to have the other areas of ur life just as balanced. My life, its my life and I like it. I see myself doing great things, as for now, where I am, its where I need to be, if it wasnt, then I wouldnt be here.  


"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."- Helen Keller

When I was younger I never thought about wanting to get married, buying a house and/or having children. That just wasn't me. I saw myself living in a busy city, late night dinners, socializing with my friends, going home to my badass loft with a dog, drinking wine after a long day at work. And in-between all that have an ideal relationship.

Crazy as life would have it, my life has been nothing like I ever dreamt it would be. There are so many things that I have experienced that I would never change, but then there are things that have happened in my life that I wish I could re-do or just even handle differently. I never planned on being laid off for a year, I never thought in my wildest dreams that it would be so hard to find a job! I've been working since I was 16 and never have I ever had this much trouble trying to get a job. I've always had something I could find. I am seriously shocked at how difficult it is to keep or even find a job now! And I absolutely hate it! I feel so useless! I started off young and so strong, but after being kicked around and knocked down its harder to get back up. I'm starting to question and doubt myself. The only thing I can do is keep my chin up and keep marching forward.

I cant let this bend in the road slow me down. I'm finally getting on the right path that i want to be on for school. It's been quite a challenge trying to figure out what and where i want my degree to take me. After several changes I'm feeling good about my next step towards getting my degree out of the way! And it really is so much less stressful knowing that I'm going to reach my goal!

I'm at the age where all my friends are getting married, having a home, settling down and having children. I just never saw myself in that setting. But honestly... I do see myself wanting that life. I want a husband, someone to love me and I want a family! I want to start that part of my life. I never thought I would say that. And it's not just because I see my friends doing it and if ur lucky enough to find ur soulmate. I'm always told that u have to go through all the crappy guys to get to a good guy. Well I think I've had my share of crappy guys. I just hope that I don't settle for someone that isn't my soulmate. Getting older and finally finding peace with myself, I want to share my life with someone. I've said " I don't want kids" since I was fifteen.... But what kind of life is that to be so alone? I don't want a lonely life. Not knowing what the future holds for me is scary and exciting! And I can't wait to start that part of my life! :-)

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...
Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...
I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
