The Only Constant in the World

The only thing
Constant in the world
Is change
That’s why today I take life as it comes.

You know that sign? The one that says “I hate change” that I wear on my forehead?

I’ve recently realized that it’s in my best interest to take it down.

Some areas of my life will require routine: my finances, my time management, writing practice and exercise to name a few.

Everything else should probably be a tad more flexible.

The truth is that I’m too young to have a set definition of who I am. I haven’t done or experienced enough to get set in my ways this early in life. I have a general idea of what I want. To be powerful, mind, body and spirit. To convey grace and intelligence without losing my natural spunk and confidence. I want to write things that empower people (and women in particular) to kick ass and take names. Wherever I land career-wise, I want to be great at whatever I do. In short, I just want to be great in every way possible.

Just When I Think I Know…

Just when I think I know some shit, I realize that I don’t know shit.

And this, people, is called your 20s.

I am not a fan of change. Blame it on my astrological sign, (Yes I’m one of those people) but I spend a great deal of time working to create balance in my life. And once I achieve that, I am pleased and want nothing more to maintain that stability for as long as possible.

Most change screws with me (with the exception of changing my hair. I’ll chop off my hair without batting an eyelash). Not because I’m unable to adapt, I actually adapt quite well. It’s just that I detest having my balance disrupted. This approach doesn’t leave too much room for growth and I’m reminded of this every time I mature a little bit more.

It's A Celebration, B**ches!

Cheers to me!

Cheers to me!

What am I celebrating?

I am just effin happy to be here.

Lately, I’ve been kinda working on CJ’s nerves (Bless his heart) because I’m always shocked at how genuinely happy I am. I can see how hearing the same thing over and over and over wears on a person, but as a woman who has spent the majority of her life muddling through difficulty or being insanely anxious about the difficulties to come, to wake up everyday content is a HUGE DEAL.

Since I don’t want to keep burdening him with my gleeful rambling, I’m just going to do it here.

It’s been a long time coming, but a change has surely come in my life. And dammit, nothing’s ever felt sweeter!

P.S. New hairstyle coming soon. Pics next week.
