It takes courage

I continue to discover myself each day, and I feel like I have to shout it to the world. I am a human being, a woman with ambition, a girl with curves, a college graduate, a career woman, a best friend, sister, and a daughter. I am not perfect, I am not all put together, and I am single. I am a single LDS 26 year old... SO WHAT!?!

I have learned something in my time, I am sick of apologies. 
I am sick of apologizing for things I cannot do, things that are out of my control.
I am tired of apologizing for being hurtful, when my intentions are to speak the truth, or speak my mind.
Everyone gets to say what they are thinking, so why can't I? 
I apologize for things I didn't even do, no more guilt sponge.

Life is hard, you don't always get what you want, we all get hurt or hurt someone in time. You don't have to follow the crowd, and it is ok to see the bigger picture.

You can be religious, suspicious, and find life delicious (yes rhyme intended). 

I am over being this person that feels like they always have to be weary. Of course I will remain a kind hearted person, but as the new Cinderella movie says "have courage and be kind". 

I want to face this world to not be afraid of everything. I am sick of poorest image, I don't care what others think of me, I am a good person, but I do have my flaws.

You can be the same, it just takes courage.

I am always constantly finding new things to read, I actually have two other books on my docket to read on these subjects that I will write about later.  OK... so now the real topic: TOXIC PEOPLE So how does the first part of my post and the main topic correlate? Well simple. I was writing in the "52 Lists for Happiness" book tonight, and one of the questions is: "List the best choices you have made in your life". Mine goes as such: Going to Europe Graduating from Colleg

Things a California State of Mind Taught Me.

This last week I went on my first vacation in a while. I have taken time off to help out with family things, and have taken a day here or there, but not a FULL week off from work in a LONG time. Well I did this past week, and I went to California with my friends Annah and Kayla. We went to the beach, Disneyland, and bummed around a museum and a cool shopping district. But let me tell you why this trip was so special - it taught me some things I needed to know about myself, about my friendships, and about my mental health! This is my favorite picture I took the entire trip, it explains how I felt the entire length of the trip - HAPPY and relaxed, free to be myself. Let me start off by saying - I am myself pretty much most of the day, but this trip let me do things on my own time with my own ways. 1. I is kind, I is smart, and I is important!
