Happy Monday !
To be quite honest, I'm behind on sleep, homesick and really missing my hubs. He's on a guys trip for the next few days by the way. (And I'm actually kinda jealous right now) Hahaa.I'm sure Saturday will be here soon enough. But aside from that, I've had a little bit of down time for myself. (I'm sure i'll appreciate it later ). Anyways I'm in the process of a few different things. For starters, my Dad called me a couple weeks ago to help him with his tshirt designing biz that he recently started in his free time. It's still in the beginning stages, but still its pretty exciting.Secondly, my mom and I have had some recent conversations lately and decided to collab on a fun little project. Will share soon. Also, I already have a list in mind of friends i'll be reaching out to for their input, hopefully they will want to collab as well:)
Sometimes I feel a bit all over the place considering there's all of these different things I want to do. But this I have come to realization about myself:
I love learning about beauty/skin care/staying healthy/exercise. (Explains why I was considering learning how to be a yoga instructor,lol).
I love people,travel,diverse foods, and music of course,duh.
-Anyways literally for over a year or so I've been seriously thinking about learning how to become a lash technician w/Extreme Lashes. Since I tried out the lashes last year, I was inspired by the lash tech and her drive to having a successful business (that she genuinely enjoyed). If I did decide to go for it, I could either work in a salon or just have my own business at home and/or go to my clients instead. I've done tons of research and 4 training days is all I need to be fully certified and doing my own thing. It's so natural looking and very popular these days. Plus it's a great career. We shall see :)
-Starting a new youtube channel for music/writing stuff. Dylan got me a really nice mic for Xmas and it's time I should put it to use. My only thing is, nowadays people think because you are starting a youtube channel that your aiming for fame. When in reality, I'm really not. Music is my first love and creating my own covers I think would be pretty cool. Plus I feel like 27 is a little too old to start aiming for it. My husband disagrees with me on that one, lol. (Considering one of his favorite artists/ J.Cole got discovered in his late 20's ).
-Some days, I want to write a fiction novel. Other days, a somewhat fiction novel based around me and D's young love as teenagers into adulthood, lol. Other days, heck a freakin book on my outlooks and experiences on life sounds pretty good too.
-Helping kids,helping people. I won't go into too much detail b/c I could go on and on talking about how incredible it is. But I miss working and volunteering at the L.a Dream Center. I loved that Elijah, D and I would go together all of the time. My mom and sisters were even part of the one in Atlanta while we lived in California. Recently I found out there is a Jacksonville Dream Center not far from our house. What are the chances?? Crazy. Also, my good friend Mahlet has been away going on a year now working in the Peace Corp ,in Malawi. And the things they get to do on a daily basis...it's amazing. Simply Inspiring.
-I know I was destined to be a mom of course:) But whatever it is i'm destined to do as a career, hopefully it will be something in the creative/arts field, something that adds some good to this world.

*(I'm too lazy to proofread this post right now, so excuse any of my errors peeps)
LOL, there are a few errors! But I agree with Dylan...it's not too late to be discovered or aim for a career if that's what you want. If you want to write a story then write one. The best advice I can give about writing is for the first draft just write. Don't worry about errors or grammar or anything; just get your words on the paper. And I can relate to your dilemma; I was there a year or so ago. I couldn't decide what it was I wanted to do. I felt like I wanted to do everything but really I was just running from the one thing I really wanted to do (and was scared to pursue). Now that I've decided to just go for it no matter what things have kind of come together for me on that front. Maybe you just need to be honest about what it is you want to do; what it is you want to be (when you grow up) and that will probably help. Love you lots, friend. (I am also being lazy and don't feel like proofreading this, lol)
ReplyDeleteLol I freakin love you my friend. Thats some real dang good advice. I really appreciate the realness. Hopefully I can just be honest with myself, figure it out and put the fear aside.
ReplyDeleteXOXO.
Haha, I love you too which is why I wanted to give you some advice. It's not easy to make a decision. Just reading your post made me remember how I was feeling. I'm here if you need to bounce idea's off me or need some encouragement.
