Reminder

When you have one of those days where you just feel like you can't do it, liike you aren't good enough and whatever it is you want will never happen, it is important to look back.  Look back at all the things you have accomplished that you didn't think were possible.  It is important to remind yourself that you CAN do anything you want, it just means that you need to PUT IN WORK.  You have to remember that not everything will come easily and it is important to always work hard, do your very best, show dedication and even make some sacrifices in order to get where you want to be in life.  What's the famous saying?  "No one said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it"  YEAH, THAT.

Believe in yourself girly!  You can do this.  You've done it before!

Do you boo

Midnight confessions

There are some absolutes in this world.  For example, things will not always go the way you planned them, life will always come up, and people, no matter how much you love and support them will always inevitably let you down.  The problem with the last item on that list is that I feel there is a difference between loving someone unconditionally and accepting all of their faults and imperfections versus knowing your own worth and not tolerating someone who takes advantage and mistreats your loyalty, love and generosity.

The past couple of days have been filled with a mixture of various emotions.  My best friend got married this weekend and that had me reflecting on how long we have known each other and all the things we've been through and just what and how much she means to me in my life.  As a result I've also started to analyze other relationships (friendships) in my life.  Some in particular that I have come to realize are not as honest and genuine as I believed them to be. To know me is to know that above all I value honesty more than anything else.  They say the truth hurts, and although that may be true, I believe that lies (no matter how big or small) hurt more.

So what's a girl to do?  Accept them for exactly who they are or decide whether or not that version of them fits into the life and environment you want for yourself.
