You guys, I know I've been slacking here. I'll spare the excuses and just say that I haven't been feeling particularly motivated. I went to see my therapist last week and we discussed why my moods have been affecting my productivity. I'm still struggling, but as always, she asked tough questions and put things into perspective so I'm determined to keep up a normal blogging schedule for my own sanity sake (and because she encouraged me to).
I feel so much more connected when I blog, and it's a part of my life that I want to continue. I hope you're still with me :)
Since I feel like I've been a stranger, I thought it would be a good time to share some life updates and join a link-up that was recommended to me. Here is a recap of current musings...
Anticipating - Nate and I are going to see The Lumineers and Vance Joy in December! You guys probably know how much we love going to shows and The Lumineers have been on my list for a couple years. I've already seen Vance Joy and he's amazing! If you ever get the chance, go! Any suggestions on what to wear? I normally dress down for shows (especially when there's a mosh pit involved) but this time I want to look more put together.
Realizing - That I need to ask for help more often and be open to receiving it. I hate relaying my problems, even to friends. I'd rather help others than help myself, and that can be pretty isolating and destructive.
Reviewing - So many good things, including this Laneige lip mask! Full thoughts coming soon, but it's safe to say that I'm obsessed and have been slapping this on every night before bed.
Following - I've cut way back on my social media footprint, mostly because I compare myself to others. That isn't exactly going to get me to my "stop thinking you suck" goals. Plus, I haven't been feeling as creative in my Instagram posting so I'm not looking around as much either. But, I still enjoy following my girls!
Gina,
Rachelle,
Amy Ann,
Carylee, to name a few.
Appreciating - Cooler weather! It finally feels like Fall here and I am so thrilled to be snuggled up in my fleece blanket as I type this. It's the little things in life, right?
Investigating - School. I was enrolled in copy editing and digital content courses at UCSD, but my certificate has yet to be completed. I'm so indecisive! It's like, pick a lane already! So I've been going back and forth about next semester and whether I want to continue my studies. I'll keep you posted, but I'm leaning towards yes. Education is never a regret.
Happy November! Linking up with
Anne in Residence and
A Hopeful Hood.
