Motivational Monday…

Hey Yinz Guys and Happy Motivational Monday. Here on my blog, I will like to start using some Mondays to just post a short post sharing some of my favorite motivational quotes for not only my readers but for myself as well.

Today’s quote is ”Get out of your own way”. I think every now and then we all deal with some type of self-doubt, I know I especially do. Being a creative, I find myself…

Since moving to Philadelphia in July, I feel like I’ve been stuck in a constant state of motion. If I’m not working OT at work, I’m going to multiple doctors appointments, running around the city with my new roommate aka my sister, chasing my cat out the kitchen, off the table and out of my plants, or I’m going across town to spend time with my boyfriend. Either way, I’m doing something or going…

I am tired of half ass weak relationships. I’m not looking to get into a “non-relationship” relationship. I want a real, genuine, raw, love. I want consistency and commitment not someone who’s gonna keep up a routine for about a month and afterwards let it die down, I want to be able go about my day carefree and not have to worry if you’re entertaining someone in a way you know damn well you’d get upset if I did the same. I want consideration. I want you to think about me throughout the day, respect me and keep in mind how your actions might affect me, and us as a whole. If you’re busy all day that’s fine, but just try and let me know so i’m not sitting up having my mind travel to unconventional places. I want growth. The point of a relationship is to learn, expand and grow from it so you can create a true bond with each other. I want to be able to build something great that’s not all just for show. I want communication and maturity. I want us to feel comfortable talking to eachother so that if there is an issue or problem there won’t be any hesitance to open up with eachother. I want us to be able to confide in each other and say things that we’ve never admitted out loud. I want to have a strong level of trust and honesty. I don’t want to have to doubt your intentions or your motives, I want to be able to tell and show you things that others don’t have access to without regret. I want to be comfortable to my core with you. I want us to work our asses off, get this money and go on vacation together. I want laughter, effort, and unforgettable times, phenomenal sex and even better conversation. I want to be claimed and shown off, not by social media but from you. I want to be appreciated and celebrated. I want thoughtfulness and passion. I want the love between us to beam and radiate so strong that it’s undeniable. I want this to be mutual. I want love. not lust, not a situationship, not “idk what we are but your mines”. I want love. So if you cannot and are not willing to put in the work to create that with me, then leave me the fuck alone.

So…I’m finally sitting down and starting this blog post. Who knew it would be this hard to talk about something I’m so open about and living with on a daily basis.

Good Morning & Happy #Wednesday! Here's a lil reminder for you AND for me! #Repost @myleik ・・・ When someone feels like they "can't" say no, they try to impose those feelings onto you. I used to be like that, deeply devastated by NOs because I never felt like I could say it. Now that I have learned to accept a NO, it's so much easier for me to give it. I learned that NO is never about the other person, it's a mechanism used to manage our personal boundaries. #mytaughtyou #lessonsinNO (at SouthSide Works)
