Coffee Dates, Finding New Books, And Learning To Roll With The Punches In Life!

OOPSIE! It's Tuesday and I am finally checking in from the weekend! Honestly, I don't know what's been going on with life but it's been snatching my wig lately! Ha! I think we all have those periods where things seem to be all over the place and there's nothing you can do about it honestly! But that's neither here nor there, I am just glad that I can sit down and write a few words over in this space today! I have a lot of things I want to cover so let's get started, shall we? 

First things first, I know I said that I was going to cut back on coffee but I surely have not! I have decided to drink pure decaf on days when I am at home and I will treat myself to some yummy caffeinated coffee when I am out and about in the city. This little method has been very helpful because I have seen a huge decrease in my migraines lately (which is a plus). I don't think anyone truly understands how bad migraines can affect your day to day life and I am VERY glad to finally have them under control for a while, or at least for the remainder of the summer.

Besides those sneaky little migraines, I have been SUPER determined to live my very best life! For the most part, summer is supposed to be relaxing, chilling and having a hot girl summer :) but as far as I can tell, people feel overworked and stressed out. * Including myself sometimes*. But I have decided that that's NOT going to stop me from planning my own coffee dates and catching a bit of fresh air sometimes!

If anything, I have gotten VERY comfortable with going places by myself mainly because I just enjoy being surrounded by my own thoughts! Of course, I enjoy a small talk from time to time but sometimes I just need to unwind within my own presence! Can anyone else relate to this phenomenon? Life as a millennial can get VERY strange and I just want to know if I am experiencing something that other people my age are experiencing or noticing as well! Don't leave ya girl hanging and let me know what you think in the comments down below!

Normally when I am lost in my thoughts, my mind can come across all types of topics from the grocery list all the way to things such as what am I even doing with my life? Ugh!

But I try not to let those little things get to me! Everyone's life post-grad is very different and sometimes you have to make decisions that are best for you! If I'm being completely honest here, I am perfectly ok with where I am at in life but I am a massive overthinker and sometimes I like to plan things that aren't meant to be planned!

Going with the flow has NEVER been my cup of tea but lately, I have been feeling a little bit more connected to the idea of just rolling with the punches of life. Let me enjoy things ok......?...!

Starting NOW, I am going to stop being so hard on myself and just let life do its thing! Ok, yes I know I can be a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiit of a control freak when it comes to the important things in life but I do think I have accomplished more than enough and I deserve to relax a little!

For those of you that TRULY know me then you already have a small sense that I'm never going to stop fully looking for the answers to life! Ha! But that doesn't mean I won't simmer down and learn to live a little and enjoy life in the unknown for a bit!

At the end of the day, life is waaaay too short to be stressed out. Don't get me wrong, as a 28-year-old there are some things I just HAVE to be responsible about but that doesn't mean I have to make such big life decisions at such a young age. Heck, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a successful life! That's my story and I am sticking to it! Ha! Well, I am going to sign off for the afternoon and I'll see you guys around the internets! Happy Tuesday!

Always Living and Forever Learning,
