Taking the bull by the horns....

If this isnt considered stressfull, then I dont know what is! 
School is really stressing me out. I mean honestly, who needs it? I've made more money than most people that have gone to college and have their degrees. Granted, I dont have any thing to show for, but I did at one point. Im young, I'm single, I dont have anyone to contend with but myself. I should be rolling around in my own wealth. It's not even funny. But thats not the point. The point is, IM GOING TO BE IN SCHOOL TILL IM FUCKING OLD! (see theres the 'revamp' im talkin' about) I already have three years of school under my belt and now I have to go for another 4 years!? Seriously? By the time I graduate, Im going to be 31. (well 30 if you want to references back to my one yr younger blog) Is that seriously when Im going to start my career? Am I really going to school for a legit degree? Should I have just stuck it out and got my degree in Business/ Marketing/ Advertising? But I honestly hated it! I was good at what I was doing, but I couldnt see a future with it! (lol, sounds like a break up line..”I just dont see a future with you”) bullshit! Am I just going to Art school for fun? Because when I think of 'Art School' I think of artist people. I cant draw, I'm not very artist, Im not the usual artys fartsy hippy kind of person. Im kind of preppy with a causal side. (I think) The photographs I've taken have been on a whim and just kind of pure luck. If I were to stick with Business (which I didnt) its something I know I can do! But It would be 'actual' work. Monday- Friday, 8-5 kind of job. Which is fine because thats what im use to. But photography, photo journalism, writing...its all something that im passionate about. Can passion be a job? Can I make something that is a hobby and/or that Im passionate about a life long career? Will it support my obsession for James Avery jewelry (btw. I will one day own their entire collection of rings) or my expensive designer purses that I must have or the latest and greatest gadgets? It's almost like when I use to have mad dating skills....Stick with what I know, the safe type or go for the dangerous type? With a business degree in Marketing/Advertising I could get a job anywhere. But with writing/photography its not in high demand. And its especially not on the top list of jobs for DFW. Texas is mostly farming and industrial type work if you want to make top dollars. Nothing glamorous about farming! Would I be willing to move to California or New York to get the jobs I desire? ( I know, Im contradicting myself because I've always said I want to get out of Texas) If, when the times comes, I get my degree and Im offered a job far away, would I really take it? EVERYTHING I know is here. My life is here. My past and present are/is here....but what about my future? Does my future know whats best for me? Or do I have to take the bull by the horns and lead it in the direction that I believe (right now) is best for me? The real question? Do I know whats best for me? Another one: Do I know what I really want? 

A quote I found (i dont remember where its from):
"Figure out what you and learn how to ask for it"

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...

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 ...

2025

Another year has come and gone, and here I am—mid-January already. Christmas was spent with family, as always. The holidays tend to be chaotic, rushing back and forth across town to visit everyone. 2024 was truly a memorable year for me! So many milestones to reflect on: I turned 40. I participated in two amateur horse shows. I earned my motorcycle endorsement. (I conquered the Twisted Sisters route on my motorcycle!) My brother bought a new house (so proud of him—just waiting for a new sister-in-law now!). I celebrated my 10-year wedding anniversary.  And I hit my 2-year mark with my company. It’s been a year of highs and some lows, but I think the highs outweighed the lows—or maybe I just blocked the lows out entirely (I do have a knack for that, haha!). While my memory isn’t quite where I wish it was, I’ve been making an effort to shake things up and challenge myself with new activities. It feels good to break out of the routine and keep my mind sharp. I’ve started gaming recent...
