12 things holding you back.

I hope that by the time you finish reading this list, you've re-evaluated your life and the things you allow to take up unnecessary space in your world.


1. A sense of entitlement about the amount of material things you think you deserve in life, especially when it's too much, much more than you need to be safe & comfortable.

2. The phone numbers of people that never, EVER call or text you first and often don't respond when you contact them first.

3. Facebook friendships with people you don't really know, don't care about, and post ridiculous things that make you roll your eyes.

4. Subscriptions to magazines that make you feel ugly, fat, poor and unstylish.

5. Resentment for your friends who are in happy relationships because part of you feels like them having love somehow means there is less hope out there for you.

6. People who constantly make weird comments about superficial things that make you feel really self - conscious.

7. Shame over the amount of debt you are living with.

8. Family members who make you feel terrible about yourself, who contribute nothing to your life, and whose only connection to you at this point is genetics.

9. Memories of the time that you label " the best time of your life", which makes you consciously feel as though everything else you do won't compare or will just be part of an overall downward slope.

10. Subscriptions to online stores that you can't afford, and which send you TONS of emails & texts about sales you should NOT be spending money on.

11. Junk food that you know you're going to binge eat if you keep them in your house. 

and the one that SHOULD have been #1, but I saved the best for last....

12. Love for people who will NEVER love you back, no matter how much energy you devote to caring about them & wondering what they're doing at this very moment. 



yes.

525, 600 minutes.

 With my birthday swiftly approaching, I decided to compile a list of all of the lessons life has taught me this past year.



  1. In a relationship someone will always love someone less or more than the other one does
  2.  Don’t fall for people you will never meet
  3.  Sometimes people aren’t worthy of a second chance
  4.  Enjoy the "butterflies" - even if just for a day
  5. Men will almost always want more than just friendship
  6.  People will always take credit for things you have achieved if you don’t speak up
  7.  When you act more positively, people will react much more positively to you
  8.  People will always take you for granted, friends especially
  9.  Stop expecting people to do anything right - humans will fail you 99.99% of the time
  10. Children are a blessing, even when they ruin your favorite things - like your waistline.
  11.  Twilight is a stupid movie
  12.  Sometimes saying thank you is all that person needed to hear
  13.  Appreciate everyone and everything you have - because nothing lasts forever
  14.  Sometimes the nicest words come from the strangest of places
  15. Often the most beautiful people have no idea just how beautiful they are
  16. Eventually, it will all make sense
