So the Journey Begins...

First official blog. I have been wanting to do this for so long. There is something about writing my thoughts and feelings out to the world anonymously that appeals to me. I am not too sure where I want to start, but I figure a small introduction might work just fine. I'm Canadian. And I love it. And I am a small town girl. These two small things have shaped me hugely into who I am and what this blog will contain. I am huge on family and friends, believe in God, an animal lover and people person, and an optimist. I have had my hardships growing up so far, between family,school and everything in between, but overall I am a happy-go-lucky kinda girl. Anything from my life may end up on here. Anything and everything. It may range from simple thoughts and good days to a post about something I've contemplated about in depth for a long period of time. Anything posted by me may be free form, but there will probably be some poems posted on here as well. This blog is going to allow you to see a bit of me, the true me. I am going to be completely honest and true. But this blog isn't just about me, it's about my long time friend as well. This, readers, is a joint blog. I challenge you to read often and distinguish us by our own unique 'voices'. Say hello to my partner in crime.

haha. Thanks for leading the way! Well as you probably have guessed I am Canadian and a small town girl as well. We have actually known each other for quite a long time and know what each other has gone through to become the people we are today. I am also a family / friends person, believe in God, an animal fanatic, and love my sports! I have gone through some challenging obstacles the last year or so, dealing with the who I want to be and forming it into reality as well with the troubles of school, family, and money. I am your typical girl-next-door who sees the good in everyone. This blog is basically just to show my thoughts to the world and have one person be like... hey I totally get that! Hope you all enjoy our insights and get to just sit back, relax, and dive right in to some (hopefully) fantastic reading!!!

It's all about perspective

I found myself earlier reflecting on yesterday - was it a bad day, or was it a good day? I don't usually label my days as bad or good, to be clear, but yesterday wasn't a regular day. Niagara Falls, Ontario The short of it: I had an anxiety attack, in the rain, in downtown London, on the way to an event with my partner who had yet to witness an attack. The works - tears, hyperventilation, nervous energy and jitters. But to truly elaborate the perspective bit, there is a longer story to it.  I think it's important to add context, to shape why it was a matter of a bad day vs good day. So here we go.

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. 

Vulnerability

For the past few days, perhaps even a week now, I have been tossing and turning many ideas through my head of what to blog about.  I even was able to get a draft going on the value of actions vs words, but it just doesn't feel finished yet. I finally came up with a concept. Vulnerability. I know most of us know what vulnerability is, or what it means to be vulnerable, but in case anyone is looking for clarification, Webster's dictionary defines vulnerable as "capable of being physically or emotionally wounded; open to attack or damage." So many of us spend our lives running from being vulnerable, from trying to protect ourselves because we simply don't want to be hurt.  I'm not talking just about relationships here, but everything.  Some of us don't like to have pets, because eventually a bond is created and that makes us open to pain, especially knowing that odds are we will outlive our pets.  It also pertains to careers- many of us stay inside the ...
