get off autopilot

Living is a verb, not a constant state. Let's think about why we're here and what we're doing with our time.
Don't get too comfy, this is an ongoing thing.

“Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are. ”

Walk the walk

ValleyFair: Ripcord. Told Joe we'd do it two years ago so this summer, it will be time. You're attached to a cord with another person and both free fall from 180 ft up.

Work Hard. I don't think I've ever exerted all my effort, maybe it's time that I start.

Quit Judging. Everyone's just as ready to judge and stereotype me as I am of them. I'm afraid it's in my nature but that's hardly an excuse.

For the most part, everything I set out to do in life is in the works, I'm taking necessary measures for the desired outcomes...we'll have to wait and see.

Never let go OR Never say never

Let go of insecurities. They really don't serve me.

Let go of bad memories. I've learned all I need to from my experiences no need to revisit old pains.

Hang onto good friends. They matter, it's about time they knew that.

Hang onto faith. It's gotten me through all my troubles, take care of it even when it's not a rough time.

Fast Forward

About time I know the difference between quantity and quality, and which is more important to me.

Last time I rush through something is college. From here on out, life will be a stroll in the park.

I don't need to rush milestones, they'll come when I'm ready.

Life is short, but it's not a race, my pace is okay.

Can't handle the truth

I always said that I will lie to spare feelings before I will ever tell the truth. Maybe I should quit that.


Maybe I don't want to do what you want, this time, I'll tell you.

Sorry Sorry Sorry

I won't apologize for doing what I want to do.

I won't be guilty for living my life.

I won't be sorry for being me.

I won't be sorry for telling the truth.

NO!

I don't like hearing the word 'No" so I don't tend to dish it. Working on that!

Friends who lift, friends who drag

I believe I have done just that, there is something to learn from everyone so I won't do it entirely. I won't force myself to spend time with someone I don't like, or who puts me down. It's not elementary school anymore.

I won't forgive and forget just because it's the right thing to do, everything is dependent on circumstances, I won't blanket everything under a 'general' rule.

Power giving


No one has power over me now, and that wasn't always true.

I've recently learned that I'm not as powerless as I and everyone else thought. It's useless to know it's there and not exercise it, that's where I'm going to improve.


Interested vs interesting

I do whatever I like, whether it's cool to you, that's your problem.

Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it

as restrained as I feel at times, I need to look at my personal freedoms.

Freedom from financial burdens

Freedom from things like cooking for myself

Freedom to squander my money on worthless interests and a good time

Being as dependent on my parents as I am doesn't make me any less of a grown up than anyone else. Talk to me, you'd  understand.

Who I am

That's in the works, always will be.
