Brave New Girl

These last few weeks have been a true eye-opener for me. I've been depressed, distraught, exhausted, and etc. I've questioned myself & my actions despite that I already had made concrete plans for my near future. For once in my life, I could not hinge my emotions on a significant other or relative. I had to answer to myself and make decisions solely for me.

I could make a decision and know that it only affected/benefitted me directly. I could be selfish and reckless and not care about the outcome. The experience has put me at a crossroads. For too long, I've fussed and complained because my actions benefitted me and not others.

I've sacrificed my sanity and dignity for my SOs but no longer. I will enjoy you while you are with me. I will cherish our times together but I will not put your feelings first. I gave you a heart to take care of and you have not treated it well. I will now care for it.

If I see fit, you will slowly get pieces of it back. If not, then we shall part ways.

On a new topic, I've made the decision to travel more. I continue to say how I will go places but never follow through. This will stop. I'm doing nothing but hampering my dreams by doing this. I start with Las Vegas in July and London in September. It's time I put my money where my mouth is.

Speaking of money, I've decided to make my certification work for me. I will devote as much spare time as I can into building up my wedding consulting business. It's time to stop running and grow up. I want a house, a family, and security. I WILL GET IT.

this is what Id love to gain

free from all the pain and sorrow
never feel the hurt again"

I enjoy being a girl...

Sometimes. I timed my actual girl ritual today and it clocked in at a whopping hour and twenty minutes. That's including: shampoo/deep condition, shaving, depilitory, facial mask, shower, exfoiliation and moisturizing. I am now the bearer of what may be the most silkiest, smoothest body in 15 miles.

While I enjoy being able to toss on a dress and heels, the point of getting there is insanely time consuming. In light of this, I grin and bare this because dammit I look hot afterwards.

Misdirection

So much has been going on that I feel like my frequency is off. Instead of a deep, calm bell, I'm getting the high pitched whine of a turbine. I've finally started my perfume business on Etsy (http://mercurypotions.etsy.com). I got my ABC bridal consultant renewal form & I'm waffling on whether or not I should try that again. My job is the same quagmire it's always been & frankly it's getting harder and harder for me to get up the energy to go every morning.

I yearn for so much more but lack the direction to get it. I see the goal but the path is lost. It's time I swallowed my own medicine and get my life together. I will make a list of my goals and see which ones to cut out and which ones to renew. I truly need to figure out what I want to do with my life. All this tossing & switching is not good my health, sanity nor soul.
