S2: E14 Finally

-

Over a month ago, I posted a blog about letting go. There were 4 major changes I needed to make and at the time I had only done two; new car and hairstyle. The other two were new glasses and a laptop.

I am proud to say, both of those have finally been achieved! 

After 7 years of the same glasses and not having my eyes checked, we are up to date! I wanted to try something new, but not too crazy. The pair I have now were the first ones I tried on. They fit perfectly, they're blue which is my favorite color, and are a little bit bigger length-wise than my previous pair. It took a while to get use to them since my right eye did get a little worse, but overall I am super happy with them! If you have seen me recently, did you notice the change?!

Now, after 10 years, I got a new laptop! My first laptop was purchased for college and I am so surprised and pleased it has lasted me this long. It still works, but it takes forever to turn on, shuts down randomly, and constantly needs to be plugged in, so it was time. I have always been a PC girl, but I made the switch to Mac! With guidance from a fellow graphic designer and Apple expert, I am now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro! I have been saving up for this for a while now and so I was prepared, but still slightly scared to make such a big purchase! Since it will overall help me with my career, I was more than happy to do it. It's an adjustment, but so far I am having fun learning something new! 

Change can be scary. What is scarier though is never embracing it and seeing what else is out there. I am SO proud of myself for making all 4 of these things happen in the past couple years. I couldn't have done them without a lot of support and encouragement from friends and family. It was also nice to have this blog to hold myself accountable. If you missed my previous post or want to reread it, you can check it out here: S2: E10 Let Go

Here is your sign to create your own "finally" moment! Go out and make changes or crush some goals!

S2: E10 Let Go

-

I have always had a hard time with changes throughout my life. Even though it is the one constant thing to happen. But as I get older, I am realizing how much it is needed and I have been embracing it. Life would be boring if everything stayed the same. Imagine where we would be today if things didn't change and progress.  Two years ago, I was in need of a new car REAL BAD. My Ford Taurus was good to me for my first years of driving, and more. It got me here and there, but eventually, it was time for something different. Me being me, I felt bad having to get rid of it and thinking about all the good times driving my friends around and going to fun places. But it wasn't even safe to drive anymore... no power steering, the floor was rotted, my door wouldn't shut in the winter time, needless to say, I had very low standards when looking for a new one. Now I have my Nissan Sentra and I love it SO MUCH! There are so many new features that I didn't have before, and the overal...

S2: E9 Yogurt Cup

If you know me at all, then you probably know that my all time favorite show is Boy Meets World. Clearly, because my whole brand is even based off of it! One of my favorite moments in the show is when Eric and Cory go on a road trip together. What Cory doesn't know is that for Eric, this isn't just a trip. He decides he isn't going home afterwards. Along their travels though, they come across the World's Largest Yogurt Cup, which they must visit! There is even a Parade of Sprinkles that Cory checks out, but doesn't get the memo about wearing goggles to protect his eyes. 😂 (Images found on Google from the show, I do not own the rights to them - sharing for visual purpose) I feel I am a lot like Cory Matthews in many ways, but one being how I would be just as excited for this random iconic monument. My dream is to visit all 50 states and I would hope to find as many of the "World's Largest" things along the way! SADLY, this one was just made up for the ...

S3: E9 Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year

"Never apologize  for how you feel,  for how you hurt,  for how much you love." I'll be honest with you. I feel like I have been in a bit of a slump the past 2 months. Waves of loneliness, FOMO, fear in general, being different or having unique interests, the constant comparison and not being where I "should be" in life. All of it is valid, but this is MY YEAR.  In honor of my 30th back on January 19th, I decided to do something fun for myself on the 19th of every month this year - so far it's been a success! July is my "half-birthday" month and I thought it would be a good time to step back to appreciate all the good/positives that have happened since my birthday rather than get stuck in the slump. Being my own Valentine, throwing myself a party, seeing Hamilton... ...Grilled Cheese Weekend, Free Cone Day, a cute/confident outfit.... ...reuniting with friends, Crumbl Cookie adventures, Nostalgia Fair... ...Immersive Disney Experience, flowers from...
