Lets Talk Tuesday (uh, or Thursday) - Christmas.

Hey there!

I hate Christmas or the holiday season, whatever you prefer.

First of all, now I am offending people when I say "Merry Christmas" because when can you open your mouth and not offended someone nowadays. It's ridiculous.

Second, My family kind of sucks, and no one gets together. This is partially my fault I'm sure because I live 6 hours away from most of them, but hey you could come to me once in a while too. We try to make plans & they just fall through because everyone's busy & no one wants to really put in the effort.

Third, the spending is astronomical and stupid. I would prefer you make me an owl out of a toilet paper  tube. Seriously. OR come over & make decorations & cute stuff with me. OR we could go out and get things for amazing organizations like the shoebox people.  I don't want or know what to buy you & you don't want to or know what you're going to buy me, so why are we bothering? 

Four, it's a sad time. I lost my dad in 2007 & it's just not the same, nor will it ever be. (Where's my beanie babies dad? get it together) so that makes it sad. Other family members don't speak to each other & it's just a big old mess. So where's the happy?

This post is taking a turn for the sad, & whiny so I am going to attempt to turn it around. 

I mean, it's not all bad, but if we're being honest, I am just not for this time of year. 

At least there is peppermint everything & holiday movies!

Sorry for being the Grinch, but hey if you also hate Christmas lemme know, or if you LOVE it please tell me why!

xo.

Let's Talk Tuesday - Life Decisions.

I realize it's Wednesday - whoops.

So we're just gonna pretend it's yesterday for a minute ;)

Today, I am going to talk about life decisions (You know those REALLY big ones?)

You know what is very difficult. When you have to make a HUGE life decision. One that will change everything.

It's extremley scary.

It could be anything; career change, children, buying a house, buying a car, being with someone, not being with someone. All of these things are absoultely terrifying.

The unknown is terrifying.

I think that life is just one giant leap, and you're free falling the entire time. Maybe you luck out and land on a cloud for a while, but eventually you sink through and start falling again. 

So what do you do? What do you do when you are deciding something monumental?! Tell me in the comments. 

I make lists. Pros & Cons can provide some great insight, I decide what about it is better then the current siuation & what is worse, now do they out weigh eachother? Do you leap off your comfort cloud or do you snuggle into the softness & stay right where you are? 

I ask friends & family. This can get a bit gray though because sometimes they aren't helpful. They want you to be happy so "Just choose the one that makes you happy" but, what if they both make me happy & because it's completely unknown what if I choose the new options & I am not happy at all ???? then what???

Life is hard friends. Call me out on this, but is it even harder in your 20's then anything else? It's such a cluster f*** of things. Some friends are getting married, some have 3 kids already, some are so wasted they don't even know there own name, some are just lost, some are depressed, some are still in school, some are gliding through life on a cloud full of roses, some are writing blog posts because they need an outlet, & most of us are really uncertain about what our path is in life!

P.s. This is why I share positive quotes on my Insta page every day, I need that reminder or I'll totally lose it. I think I already am.

I have had a rough week this one. It's so hard to keep frown drowing. I am falling & it's nothing but rain clouds around me this week. Sadness, defeat, loss & hardships. Thank god for good friends, good managers & awesome family. We'll make it through this, as we have made it through many hard times before. Just keep on keeping on or as Dory would say:

So how do you deal with making extreme life decisions? How is your free fall treating you these days? 

xo.
