Create Your World

So...

I hesitated as I typed this. Can I really start a blog?

It seems simple enough but as we all know (or should know by now), all the sh*t that seems easy usually becomes the very things that become huge time & soul consuming forces of dread (or entertainment)...aka they're hard AF to successfully pull off, but hey, I've got time.

Why Me?

Because I am ready to create and explore my world. What makes it beautiful, what makes it unique, what makes it meaningful to me. My preferences in life are anything but dull. What can I say? I've never been a fan of things that don't glitter. 

WTF does that mean?

It means I have never, and will never, play exactly by the rules when it comes to life. I'm tired of people telling me how I should live, who I should be, and what I should want.

Last year, I graduated college (Cum Laude, may I add) and felt ready and excited to kick life's ass...but to funny as it may be, I felt more like it kicked mine. My PGD (Post-graduate depression) hit me HARD (as it does most). I missed being a student. I missed the creative freedom that comes with being in school and being surrounded by a community of like minds (who also know how to get lit on a friday). All of a sudden I felt so much societal pressure to be "$ucce$$ful" and start taking adulting seriously. Being a psychology major, I immediately began to overanalyze my life choices and what people suggested I do with them. I began to live life to quiet the noise society made and stopped doing things for myself. Surprisingly, it's actually a really easy cycle to fall into.

It doesn't work for me.

I'm tired of feeling guilty for doing exactly as I please.

I realized- The life I have lived up until now, and the life I want for myself, must be created.

Living for others (this includes social media you fiends) is INAUTHENTIC.

I'm over it.

DO as you please.

LIVE as you please.

CREATE what you please.

Feel no guilt, and savor every lesson.
