So, my blog posts have *seriously* been lacking. I have been slammed with work, that I didn't have time. So, my posts have been missing. I have had a lot of good ideas but I have just been running around making plans TWO weeks in advance, and just trying to juggle this thing called life. (it's fun, but needs a lot of attention).
I also did not realize how much blogging keeps me same, I was talking with my best friend Rachael and I was telling her how I missed my blog and she said to me "well, it's your creative outlet". It really does help you figure out things in your life even if your blogging isn't always deep and insightful. #isthatweird

Anyways, enough about my crazy beautiful life, lets talk about a subject that I am itching to cover.

Acceptance.

So, if you were to ask me where I'd be in five years ago when I was 21, I'd tell you something along the lines of, "I'd have my own apartment, I'd have a job and go to school, I'd have a life planned out ahead of me, ect. ect." Well, I am 21 now, and I am so happy with where I am in life.

I realized the other night that I am almost done with college, and I am one step closer to the real world. I have about a year and a half left (Yayyyyy summer classes). I realized that this next summer I will have to find another internship to work, and I will have to be able to get my resume looking spiffy, and I need to start looking at apartments, (I was sat in my room making mental lists for my future). I realized something, what's meant to be will be.

I can sit in my room and make some five year plan of where I want to be, how I want things to be, what I imagine them to be. But, the thing is, life happens. Whether I like it or not life does what it wants. I can not control where the next day takes me, all I can do is take it one hour at a time (I would say one day at a time, but, lets be real...a lot can change in 60mins).

When I finished making up all these mental lists, I realized that I am beyond pleased with where my life is headed, and where I am at in life. I realized that I am a smart, confident, and I have so much going for me. That the fear, and the anxiety I was having was based off of the fact that I was not being accepting.

I know how far I have come. Even better, when I realized how far I've come, I felt a wave of relaxation and peace. All that was happening was that I was coming to an acceptance with where I am in life and where I am going in life.

It was one of the best feelings you could ever have. Honestly.

Have you ever had a life realization that leaves you feeling more content than when you woke up? (does that question even make sense?)

Keep Calm and Carry On

Well hey there, all my beautiful people! This past week has been *Crazy*. I have been making list on top of list and I have been planning my weeks two weeks at a time. (I know, what type of crazy person does such a thing?) Well, I have been and it has been making my days a little less stressful, sometimes more stressful because I want to fit all sorts of events into one week and I have to stop myself and say *no*, because there are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a week. (common sense I know, but sometimes we forget).

Last Sunday my week just took off with a racing start. I had my first test at Kennesaw and I am pretty sure I owned it after HOURS *upon hours* of studying. I had the test on the wonderful hump day, the struggle was real to keep the momentum up all week long. (I had about three venti iced coffees on Tuesday night). Yes, I am a chain coffee drinker. It is a bit of a problem (or as I call it a solution). I also constantly had my planner with me, and my phone somewhere near by. I eventually just turned off my phone and said goodbye to all social media and studied. (Discipline post to come soon!)

Anyways, all sorts of fun stuff happened this week!!! I found out my friend Jen is going to be doing my hair and makeup for my 21st birthday this Sunday (I am beyond excited). I went to Six Flags (an amusement park with rides and fun!), I did a lot of homework, and I ate lots of food. (I WILL be hitting the gym this week!!)

So sorry that I missed my very first authentic #realtalkwednesday post, I promise I will be blogging a lot more this week! (Last week was just a little cray, cray)!!

More to come my lovelies!!

Keep Calm and Carry On
