What I Learned From Quitting My Job With No Plan - The Muse: Quitting your job with no back-up plan in place...

A little nighttime reading + lessons to remember to calm my nerves...

1. We naturally crave approval and reassurance (especially me and with the way I was raised lol) but we don’t need them. 2. Feeling scared and overwhelmed is exhilarating and will push us in the right direction. 3. We won’t know what we’re capable of unless we try. Plus, nothing cool ever really happens if we always play it safe. 4. Our careers don’t define us. Only our actions do.

Ultimately, our sense of identity and purpose comes from within ourselves and this weekend (+ a couple of tear-filled discussions) reminded me of that. Now I need to accept that I’m actually a few digs closer to discovering my treasures than I thought I was and then start digging even harder.

One more for good measure. #friendsforever

He met his girlfriend because of me! #cupidfasho #bcisleepnotstudy #wafflefriesforeverbetch

We’re all bound to change and develop as the years go by, so what does that mean for marriage?

Still on a just-witnessed-an-awesome-wedding high.

Though I’m far from getting married (I have yet to be in a truly long-term committed relationship!), I always wonder if it will be the right choice for me. I get really intrigued by the fact that people change over time and some don’t fully realize that marriage accelerates that change, too. And then they don’t know how to accept and roll with those changes. Hence the divorce rate! It’s scary.

But then I meet people and read articles like this one that make me feel reassured again - love & marriage is still a choice that could be right for me should I consciously decide on it and actively pursue to make it right for myself (and my S.O.) every day.

Personal thought catalog

I didn’t know what Thought Catalog was a few years back. But since stumbling on it, I’ve found it rather therapeutic. Some people think it’s annoying when others publicly rant or share their feelings (and to an extent I agree, too). I, however, also think it’s important and weirdly comforting to know that you’re not alone. To read other’s thoughts and feelings helps reassess or reaffirm your own.

When you’re constantly in your own head, it’s hard to be sane. I personally like seeing my thoughts elsewhere so I have more room to think.

I realize my thoughts have always gone here onto tumblr. My own personal thought catalog. I’m thinking I should start a real mini-story blog to help document my own ridiculous life but we’ll see. I already have a style blog that I update never. I get really distracted.

Anyway, life is pretty awesome and so is Thought Catalog.
