First Friday blog post!

Happy Friday everyone! Friday's are blissful for many reasons, sleeping in till 2 pm? Blissful! Having an incredible cheat day that you may or may not regret later on? blissful! Or maybe just doing a nice skin care routine and binge-watching your favorite TV shows? again blissful!

As this is my first Friday doing a blog post, I wanted to talk about how friends can either make you or break you. When I first thought of starting my blog, my mind was constantly swirling, I thought I wasn't good enough or experienced enough and almost gave in to my doubts, but luckily I was surrounded by people who constantly hyped me up and pushed me to do my best and I really have to give them most of the credit!

With that being said, I started to wonder what it would be like if I was surrounded by people who din't motivate me, who constantly tried to bring me down, I probably would have never started this blog because I'd give in to all the negativity and knowing myself, not once consider them "toxic", I would probably agree with them.

It's so important to surround yourself with people who not only uplift you, but bring comfort and support and also tell you when you're wrong. And if that's something you don't feel around the people you're surrounded with, then it's time to look for new and better ones because life really is too short to not want the best for yourself.

I've had a few experiences with toxic friends and believe me at the beginning I never once thought they were "toxic" , I used to blame myself and constantly put all my effort into what's commonly known as a "one-sided friendship" , it took me a long time to understand the difference as I was pretty naive and considered everyone "genuine".

So if you're surrounded by people who not only make you feel bad about yourself but also drain your energy,chances are they're "toxic" and it's best to walk away from them and not feel any guilt!

It's not okay to let people walk all over you when they please, it's not okay for them to cancel plans when they don't feel like it, and it's certainly not okay for them to joke about you whether it's about your personality, looks, hobbies or the way you like to do things. There's a difference between jokes that actually make you laugh and jokes that make you doubt your capabilities.

Always remember to put yourself first, because if YOU don't do it, no one else will. Everyone of us has the right to choose what's best for us because we're worth a lot more than what we receive!

Life as we know it.

The term YOLO sounds so simple yet so particularly deep. Sure, we live only once but we also experience each day once which sounds bizarre considering we live every day in the same pattern. Every day that we live, every minute that passes by never comes back almost like we’ll never relive today again even if tomorrow feels the same! This makes me wonder how a small improvement to a 24 hour day can change the way we live it. I sometimes find myself pondering life. How it’s the perfect balance of consistency and inconsistency, how one decision made today can completely alter the route of your life the next day. It’s the perception of realizing that there are so many people in this world who we’ll never know, who will never have any impact on us or whose life we’ll never be a part of. It’s the notion that no matter how slow or fast time flies, it’s always somehow moving forward and never stationary. It’s the awareness that happiness can be attained if we’re pleased with all

Feelings ~ 5/9/23

Isn't life truly fascinating? It's remarkable how a single moment in a person's life can alter what seems predetermined as fate and destiny, yet in our eyes, it's merely a moment of interchangeable paths – that instance when life takes an unexpected yet incredibly beautiful turn. These are the moments that, once entered, leave us forever changed. Perhaps it's destiny gently guiding events towards a perfect ending. There's a yearning for home and belonging, even in places that no longer hold that feeling. Not because of sad events, but because moments evolve into cherished memories, and life has ushered us along a different path. These are the moments that beckon reflection. As you sit in that exact spot, in the same seat, you can't help but wonder how those moments have transformed into memories, sometimes overlooked as life's hustle takes center stage. Isn't it beautiful how one ordinary step on an average day, at the most ordinary time, can become

A writing discovery.

So I've been having difficulties coming up with a blog topic, then I figured why not talk about that? When I initially started writing, I had this idea in my head that the things I write should always have a purpose and be of an excellent caliber, but as time passed, I realized that wasn't always the case. Blogging does not always have to be about discussing things that need to be heard by the majority. To be realistic, it can be as straightforward as writing about your day. Blogging, in my perspective, is essentially open-access journaling. We express our feelings simply by talking about them, and we receive a response that usually goes something like "I can absolutely empathize with this". There's something restorative about writing, even if it's about the most illogical of subjects. It's the human connection we feel while discussing significant moments in our lives that might have a completely different impact on someone else depending on where that m
