The fact that I have had time to blog, not once but three times in a week makes me so proud, LOL. It is week 41 of "Finish This," but only week four for me. So here it goes, it is gonna be rough because these are not easy sentence starters for me this time.
1. I feel like bad ass when...
OK, the reason this one is hard for me is because I am not even close to being a bad ass. Honestly, I am the furthest thing from it. I have a huge heart and when I care about something I commit 150%. But this doesn't mean I am a push over either, I learned to build a tough skin. I have dealt with some really crappy people and they are my motivation to be a better person. I have had people knock me down and hurt me because I was caring for them too much. In my last blog post, I wrote about my recent breakup. I had spent four years building him up, only for him to bring me down and make me feel like a failure. Well I felt like a bad ass when I stopped crying that night and told him exactly how I felt. It was all things that he needed to hear and I am sure that what I was saying was hurtful and the added curse words were probably not needed but in the end I walked out of there that night hurt beyond belief but at the same time feeling like a bad ass for not walking away like a coward and leaving him feeling like he had some kind of power over me. I am not saying that yelling or getting mad someone is a way to prove that you are bad ass, what I am saying is that I felt like bad ass when I started to find strength from within myself to do something that I never had before. I feel like a bad ass everyday because I know who I am and I am proud of who I am becoming.
2. One thing that always cheers me up...
The reason this one is so hard for me is because there are so many things that cheer me up. Seeing my baby cousin laugh is one of the best forms of medicines to cheer me up. My family in general does a pretty amazing job of cheering me up and giving me advice. Another thing that cheers me up is music. When I first got my jeep, the radio was broken and I drove around in silence and I literally thought I was going to lose my mind. It doesn't matter the genre or singer, music clears my head and lets me turn off my brain for a few minutes. Another thing that cheers me up is the times that I spend with friends, new and old. The past month I have surrounded myself with people who make me happy. They make me laugh and make me feel good. Some of these people just walked into my life two weeks ago and they have cheered me up in ways people I have known my entire life haven't been able to. Life is about surrounding yourself with people that lift you up and even on my worst days, I am reminded that these people are there to make me smile even when I don't want to.
3.The quotes that I live by...
And the reason I struggle with this one is because I love quotes. I love when words speak to you in a way that you weren't expecting and I love how they mean different things to each person that reads them. So I will only pick three that have spoke to me in the last week for this purpose. If you want a glimpse into how obsessive I am with the quote thing, check out my Pinterest, then you will understand.
That's it...Now it's your turn...finish this
