#FindYourYou

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. It seems like once I got my current job and started school that I lost the time and focus of my writing.

That leads me to my purpose of this post.

Have you taken a step back from your life, looked at what you’re doing, and asked yourself why you’re doing it? Why am I working where I’m working? Why am I back in school? Why is my free time spent horizontally?

We are the ones that make the choices in our lives. I chose to be back in school. I chose to apply for my current job. But what’s it all for.

How many times do you do something out of perceived obligation? Attending a group event. Going to a birthday party.

But what is your real obligation in life?

I feel like the answer is simple and twofold. First find your happiness. Test the waters and figure out what things actually make you happy as opposed to making someone else happy. Second, make it your own. Love your life uniquely. Please don’t be someone else.

As for me, decisions are made to declutter my activities so that I can simplify my routine and simply live.

Farewell to complication. Farewell to waste.

And hello to me.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
