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.

Let Me Talk About Podcasts

Let me talk about podcasts... If you have been living under a rock - podcasts are a thing. I am pretty sure that they have been around since the birth of the iPod.  So why am I talking about podcasts? Well I have never really been one for listening to podcasts up until this year. Some of you (my -4 readers) may have your hesitations about them too.  Here were some of mine: "Ugh I don't want to listen to people talking all the time". "Music is life!" "I don't even know what to listen to!" Well as I have gotten older - I find myself listening to "good music" which is the same stuff I listened to in college and way before. I found myself in a time warp. It was either my old school college rap, boy bands, techno, and all that. I like alternative rock, but this new stuff like Taylor Swift is killing me.  So I started listening to books on audio, and when I did not have money to purchase another book on audio or fi...

Who am I?

Lately I have been contemplating the number one question we all have. It happens to everyone and various stages in our lives. WHO AM I?  You know the basics: I am - Adriana, Single, LDS, Master's Student, I like to read and write, I love my family and my friends.  A very generic Twitter "about me" - identify yourself in 160 words or less.  But who are you deep down, what do you like to do?  I am Adriana, and I am Single, LDS, and a Master's Student trying to further my career, date, and also obtain new hobbies like writing and developing new interests. I belong to a book club where I get to read extensively and broaden my genres of books, and I also am attempting to write a book and perhaps publish it on Amazon's publishing page. That is a more in depth about me.  As we go on through our lives we always want to change the mold.  I think about my parents. Here they are in their 60's and deciding that they want to change their f...
