26 March 2021-Life Updates
Sooo...it’s been over a month since I last made a personal post on here. So, here are some life updates:
1. I have been very (extremely) inconsistent with both working out and maintaining a healthier diet. This year has really been kicking my ass. There is so much I have to do in preparation for the end of this semester. I know that is not an excuse, but I really don’t have any other reason to explain me slacking. I’m just so tired all the time. No matter when I go to bed and how much sleep I get, I still feel exhausted. I’m so stressed and burnt out at this point, but I can’t stop yet. I still have like 5 more weeks. But, those 5 weeks seem so far away.
2. I’ve been actively planning my future. Anything to keep me going and to give me something to look forward to. I’ve been applying to jobs. I, recently, started budgeting and keeping better track of how much I spend each month. I made a list of places I would love to visit one day. I made another list consisting of things I want to try (pole dancing sounds especially fun). I even made a list of books I want to read within these next few months.
3. I’ve been working on putting myself first. I’ve been, slowly, setting better boundaries with people and being more mindful about my own time and needs. I definitely worry so much (too much) about other people and what they think of me. I’m constantly worried about losing people. I’m always afraid that the people I love are going to get sick of me one day and realize they don’t want to be in my life anymore and no longer want me in theirs. It’s happened before, not even once or twice...I work so hard to make sure I don’t do anything that upsets people. I have realized that I, often, go out of my way to make others happy at the expense of my own happiness. I give so much grace to to people who would, no doubt, drop me the moment I make 1 mistake. And...I’m not saying you shouldn’t drop people. If that’s what brings you peace, definitely set those boundaries with those who are draining you and are toxic for you. What I mean is that I find myself letting people get away with talking to me and treating me in ways that they, themselves, would not tolerate. So...why on earth am I tolerating it, you know? Why can’t I set boundaries with people too? Why do I always have to feel guilty for putting myself first for once? I shouldn’t feel guilty for putting myself first and neither should any of you.
Anyway, this is just me rambling. Today, I cleaned out my fridge and went through my cupboards. I’m going to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I plan on buying actual food. Not just quick snacks I can take with me on the go. My goal is to cook an actual meal tomorrow night. I think I’m also going to find time to do a light workout or even just go for a walk. I really want to start feeling like myself again.

Show up as you are this week. You are enough.🤍
So, my birthday was last week (got to kiss my health insurance good bye btw) and I just realized I had not yet updated my age in my bio...but for anyone who cares, I have, officially, made it to 26 lol
25 May 2020
So, I have, officially, updated my blog. I plan to use this to document my journey. I’m, honestly, excited to see where I will be in 6 months. If anyone is on a similar journey, I wish you the best. We can do this! :)
12 November 2022- I’m Back :)
Hey! It’s definitely been a while...
I’ve still been liking and reblogging some posts here and there...but not very frequently. It’s been a while since I’ve made a post of my own.
Honesty, I’ve been trying to limit how much I use social media. A few months ago, I deactivated my Instagram again (it has stayed deactivated since then). Last month, I, finally, deactivated my Facebook. If there was a way I could, temporarily, deactivate Snapchat, I would...
I don’t want to blame my insecurities only on social media, but social media has definitely not helped. I end up in this cycle of always deactivating, then reactivating and hurting my own feelings, which leads to a mental breakdown and me deactivating again. I’m sick of it.
Anyway, I’ve decided to just stay off Instagram and Facebook indefinitely. I’m not going to enter that deactivate then reactivate cycle anymore. It’s not healthy.
Tumblr is nice though...at least my mutuals are :)
I’m really thankful that I have not seen anything problematic on my dashboard (I’m assuming it will stay that way).
I really like the energy you all have. There have been a few times, during these past few weeks, that I have scrolled on the Tumblr app as an escape.
I don’t want to just scroll anymore, though. I want to participate again. So...this is me, officially, coming back to Tumblr again.
I want to get back on track (I wonder how many times I’ve said some variation of that statement here lol) with my goals.
I was also thinking of expanding what I post here. For example I have been, recently, rediscovering my love for reading. I think it would be fun to share some of the books I’ve been reading and plan to read...or maybe I could even make another blog...
Either way, my point is, I’m going to be more active on here again.
Tonight (or tomorrow morning) I’m going to take some time to really write out what it is I want to accomplish for the rest of this year. I’m also going to start thinking about how I want my 2023 to look. Before I know it, 2022 is going to be over and I’m going to have to make a new vision board...
Looking forward to being back :)
You better tf not and I’ll remind you everytime
