My true story, in a quick 25.

1. I am a huge hypocrite. I don’t like that about myself, and am trying to fix it. I am trying to take my own advice instead of making excuses. 
2. I’m scared of change. I generally only show it behind closed doors. 
3. I love to smile and laugh. A lot. 
4. My family is huge to me. My closest friends included. If you cannot accept them, we will probably have a problem. 
5. One of my biggest fears is disappointing others, but I’m even more scared of disappointing myself. 
6. I tend to care too much about what other people think of me. 
7. I can get kind of crazy, but in a good way. 
8. I enjoy most- if not all- sports. I love spending hours tossing around a football or kicking a soccer ball around. 
9. I believe that there is a huge difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. 
10. I love to help. I wish I was able to help out in a more meaningful way more often. 
11. I’m really quiet when I first meet new people, but I enjoy making new friends. 
12. I wish I had kept up dance, singing and gymnastics. 
13. I love running in the rain. I feel refreshed, invigorated, renewed and it helps me clear my head. 
14. I keep a journal for when I want to write creatively, or have something on my mind. 
15. I love my music. I go for the lyrics or beat. It allows me to have a song to match my exact mood. 16. I consider the bond I have with all my siblings special and unique. Despite distance and age, I cherish them all and don’t know what I would do without them. Just like many of my friends are my family, my siblings are my friends. 
17. If I ever got in trouble in school, it was for reading during math class. 
18. Some of my favourite memories are from the cottage with my family. 
19. I really enjoy bowling, miniature golf, and skating despite that fact that I am not very good at any of them. It gives me a chance to learn, grow, and laugh at myself. 
20. I sometimes wonder about the world in ways many people do not understand. 
21. I believe in true love and happily ever after’s. I want it. And I hope I will be lucky enough to have a family by the time I am 30. 
22. Even though it drained my savings account, I’m happy I had the opportunity to go experience and enjoy Italy and Paris, France; even at the fast pace it was traveled at. 
23. My grandparents are the greatest people I know 
24. I love playing games with my family when we are all together. 
25. I love nature. The simplicity in nature compared to society appeals to me. I find it serene and full of beauty.

Consistently Inconsistent

 I've certainly proven that I'm unable to regularly journal or blog. That I'm pulled to write when things are bad or awry or beyond my control, but rarely in a time where I feel joy, happiness or am at peace with things. We all know I'm here, journaling again, because I'm in my head. Feeling. Reflecting. Likely overthinking. As to be expected - consistently inconsistent.  I've been pushing myself for months now. Focusing on doing more, achieving more, earning more, finding more....always more . And I am so t i r e d. Somewhere along the way of trying to redefine myself and achieve goals I had set for myself, I lost sight of why I was doing things. What was motivating me. Why I set these goals. 

Tick Tock

Tick Tock Tick tock That's the sound I hear, every time I debate changing something. That's the sound I hear when I wonder if the work I'm doing is enough It's the sound I hear when I wonder how I can make a bigger, better impact It's the sound I hear when I question my purpose and abilities Tick Tock…Tick Tock…Tick Tock. Over and over, I hear that same sound. Am I ready for a car? A house? A family? Tick Tock.  Will I ever be?

Moving Forward

New year, new goals. For so many of us, our goals or 'resolutions' created every new year quickly dissipate.  I'm not sure if it lack of focus, lack of time, lack of determination or simply slacking.  It doesn't truly matter why so many of us cannot follow through on our goals, at least that isn't my point.  My point is that many of us enter every new year with a new goal, a new outlook...striving for improvement, for change. And for once, I'm excited. I'm not going to rehash my 2012 year for you- it was the standard ups and downs and you all can relate in your own way.  Rather I want to focus on the future.  One of my biggest goals is to conquer my anxiety and kick it to the curb.  I am so tired of it controlling many aspects of my life.  I want to live again.  I want to stop the doubt, the fear, the uncertainty, and the worrying.  The past 4 and a half months have been eye opening for me, and I feel like I've already come so far.  I...
