Two Cents




Yesterday I was in a bit of funk. For no reason at all I spent the day feeling sad. Well if I'm being honest- it's because I'm filled to the brim with self doubt. Except I'm trying to change that, but it's really hard when everyone wants to give their two cents about what you should do with YOUR life.

Self doubt is part of the reason I started this blog. I wanted to prove to myself that if I put my time and energy into something-it will flourish. I mean why not believe that? It's gotten me this far. I put all of my time and energy into being a good student and now all of my college tuition is covered.

I do believe that hard work pays off, I just need to prove it to myself more.

Back to self doubt, if I had a dime for every time someone told me "You're not going to get a job"- I wouldn't need a job!

 When does saying "You're not going to get a job" do any good to anyone? I'm sorry are you a psychic? Can you perfectly see what my life will be like in 10 years? If so, tell me how it looks. If not, keep your mouth shut because you're fueling me with more self doubt.

Saying "You're not going to get a job" is equivalent to just saying "You can't" and we all know damn well that we CAN do anything. We really CAN. There is no limit to what humans can accomplish.

I would much rather work towards a life that will bring me happiness and fulfillment, than follow the cookie cutter path of my peers because they just want to get rich quick. That's just my two cents.

Clarity

                "The wilderness had a clarity that included me" -Cheryl Strayed, Wild Lately, I've made some dramatic changes in my life. The first change I decided to make was quitting social media. I believe that social media has both positive and negative effects. For me personally, it was detrimental to my self-esteem because I couldn't stop comparing my life to others.  Since, I have quit every platform except Snapchat, my life has become more peaceful, my self-esteem has increased, and I am able to be more productive. The second change I decided to make was to quit smoking weed. Marijuana is a wonderful herb with medicinal properties, but since I was smoking it habitually- I believe that I was using it to distract myself from my priorities and feelings. The last change I've made is to read and be in nature more. Reading other people's stories always offers me hope and inspiration, and nature is healing. These changes have a...

We embrace the diversity of trees- the different colors of leaves but we turn a blind eye when it comes to our own kind the world is so much more than black and white than left or right you know? I think it's about time we deflate our egos take a step back and examine the whole globe realize that underneath we're all flesh and bones We have the power to help each other to embrace our diversity how we do within nature to not be afraid of the unknown but to look forward to the future

Story Time: Goodwill

"but what if it doesn't come true?" "Ah, but what if it does!" My entire life I've been an avid thrift shopper. A lot of people don't like to have to hunt to find clothes they like, but for me- that's all apart of the fun. Some people like the risk of gambling at casinos, some with stocks, but my gamble is whether or not I can find what I want for under $20 at a thrift shop. For instance, for the longest time I was searching for a bomber style jacket that could keep me warm during the blistering winter in Flagstaff, AZ. I searched high and low at retail stores but couldn't justify spending $60+ on something that I didn't LOVE. You know what they say, when you know- you know . Anyway, nothing at the mall spoke to me, so I wandered over to Goodwill.  I hoped that they would have the jacket of my dreams, and sure enough in the "Men's" section I found the leather, warm, and cozy jacket I had been searching for. Of course, i...
