The Big Change
Part of being a blogger means actually coming back and creating something. I get that. I understand completely the task that I've bestowed upon myself. However, actually doing it...is another thing. So instead of apologizing for like, the trillionth time, we're going to just jump on in. #SorryNotSorry
I digress.
Whilst procrastinating, editing FF, I stumbled (and I use that term loosely) upon these tweens and twenty-odd millennials who probably make more money flexing their big toe on a weekend trip to Cabo than I would in my entire life.
And I'm not going to lie, it put me in my feelings. All of a sudden (again, I use that term loosely because if you know me it doesn't take much), this feeling of existential dread washed over my body like WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?
And I'm not oblivious to the fact that some people are just #blessed. They either put in the hard work and the cosmos are gracious enough to bestow them with great power. Or you know, they're born into it.
Don't get me wrong both are working to create a brand, manage it, and make sure it stays afloat. So by no means am I "throwing shade" at my fellow sisters of the world but at the same time seeing others hit that "glow up" kind of...well, it really sucks.
This isn't some sort of woe is me, pity party but more of general WTF life?
Why should I feel jelly over someone else's success? Why should I put myself down as if I don't have something fabulous to offer to the world?
It's completely normal to feel as if you don't matter. Have an off day, week, hell, even year BUT (yes there's an actual message behind this) don't EVER compare your self-worth or personal struggle with someone else's.
There will be pressure to uphold the balance of work/love/family/social life but that's all normal so don't give up. If you're looking for a sign, here it is. DON'T GIVE UP. You'll find that thing you're good at.
Do you ever feel like you're not good at anything? Like you're in the prime of your life and yet you don't have your life together? Do you relate to this meme?
You're not alone, trust me.
And this post is for YOU!
In this day and age, it's hard NOT to compare yourself to others and I recently found myself spiraling down the rabbit hole that is the: insta and youtube star.
You know what I'm talking about. Where you stop writing for a fraction of a second to check out your newsfeed and somehow end up 3 hours later on youtube watching makeup tutorials or how to keep your cabinet clean with these 5 simple dollar store hacks videos.

Or should I say what the F*ck body?

Every human-being on this planet is doing their best to grind or live their life their own way. We each have a personal path and it just so happens that some paths peak before others. Your time is coming. Your 'glow up' is around the corner. But you also have to work for it.
And that's what I've decided to do. We're making a change and yes it's scary and time consuming and sometimes you just want to lay/lie (whatever you know what I mean) in bed all day and watch Avatar: The Last Air Bender.
NOT TODAY DEPRESSION, YOU UGLY B*TCH
You've got to make that commitment to edit, create, post, draw whatever it is you're supposed to be working on and put yourself out there.
Don't keep yourself from the room where it happens.
