In today’s age of modern technology and social media it is so easy to be swept away by how great and amazing peoples lives look. You see this person going to medical school and that person traveling the globe. Then you start to think you’ve done something wrong on your path that has made you fall behind. You dig yourself out of the pit by reminding yourself that you’ve come so far but then the cycle repeats again.
But since starting this blog I am slowly teaching myself that it is okay to feel down sometimes. However, I shouldn’t compare my path to someone else’s.
I’m happy with where I am in life. I’ve got a good job, a fab boo thang, a snuggle pup, and super supportive friends and family. Everytime I get into a rut I remind myself that I’ve made it this far and I can go even further!! My life is my own personal mountain to climb and it’s totally fine to hit a plateau or stumble but as long as I get up and get back to climbing I’ll be just fine!!
I actually did something pretty awesome that came from comparing myself to someone else on Facebook. I have been talking for a year or two about going back to school and getting my masters. So when I saw someone I knew got into medical school, a fire was lit under me and I applied!! I want to thank that person for helping me reach for a goal! I am hoping to get into one of the programs I have chosen so I can prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to!
Most importantly right now in my life I want to thank everyone who is supporting me and wishing me well. I have this rule for my life that if you can’t be my cheerleader when I’m rooting for you than I don’t want that friendship. This is my life garden and I want it filled with beautiful flowers (even though I hate actual flowers, theoretical ones are cool) and no weeds!!! The flowers are the ones who lift me up and make me feel like I can conquer the world!! I want them to feel the same always!!
So in this season of my life I’m growing and I’m very proud of that. I’m expanding my mind and being more flexible with everything!! I can do this! You can do this!! We can do this!!!
If you’re looking for someone to cheer you on, I’ll be your gal!!
Xoxo,
