“learn every day new ways to love yourself”

-JH Hard

Happy Friday! It’s a good day because Taylor Swift dropped her new song “Lover” and it is so good! I currently have it on repeat. But besides Tay Tay dropping this amazing jam, my parents are in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday! My actual birthday is not until next week, but my parents have a wedding to attend on the day of my birthday so could not be here to celebrate. My sister, however, will be in town next week to celebrate! I am excited for two full weekends of family time!

“fear and insecurity will always try to talk us into settling for lesser things”

-Bob Goff

Happy Friday!! This week was… well.. in the wise words of Urkel “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”. I hurt my back Sunday morning and have been dealing with it ever since. This is the second time in a little over a month that I have had back issues… welcome to your 30’s.

“you’re not behind. It’s not too late. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Everything is unfolding. Don’t judge yourself or be hard on yourself about how long something is taking to happen. Be patient. Your time is coming. Just be thankful that you made it this far.”

– Well + Good

Happy Friday! Like many of you I am happy it is finally the weekend! And it’s August, my birthday month! I accept presents in the form of cash or checks.. thank you! Anyway, this week was not as crazy as the previous, but still a fun one.

“you must learn to trust that there is a future waiting for you

that is beyond what you might be able to grasp at this present moment”

Happy Friday! What a week… TGIF. This week was a rollercoaster of emotions, events, and work. There was the good and the bad. I started this week not in a very good place mentally. All day Sunday and Monday I was struggling, mentally and emotionally. One of those days when you can’t stop the self-criticism. Beyond that I was irritated, sad, angry with everything, and felt defeated. Sometimes you have to go through the downs to appreciate the happy moments. Luckily by Monday evening I was in a much better mood and out of my demoralized mental state. Thanks to being surrounded by friends.
