Reflecting on Past vs Future: A Personal Journey

Daily writing promptDo you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?View all responses If I had to choose which one I think about more – future or past? I would pick past – it’s been a challenge for me for a very log time. …like my entire life. I am always wondering what would have happened if…..I would have said. Should I have?

Reflecting on Past vs Future: A Personal Journey

We're nearly at the end of another week. It's weird how it feels like time is flying and also moving like a sloth at the same time. However, as time progresses, so do you. I admire you for the progress you've been making. Even in the toughest moments, you're quietly overcoming challenges to become a different version of yourself. You should take a moment to look at how far you've come! I'm proud of you. You should be proud of yourself. Please take the weekend to recharge and do something for yourself; A sweet treat, some face-masks, yoga, a walk in nature. You deserve it. As always, I'll be cheering you on. -- 💜💜 Victoria

2am drunk thoughts from me

[entahiz-elyoum-blog]

I love seeing my friends achieve great things. The biggest one Ive been seeing lately is getting accepted into/intending to attend Ivy League universities. 

As my heart feels the joy for those people, my mind wanders in a different direction. I start to wonder to myself, where could I have been if maybe i just worked a little harder? If i just pushed myself that much more. Could I be where those people are? 

Its funny that I ask myself these questions because I already know the answer. 

Its No. 

No matter how hard I could've worked, or how much extra time I could've put, I would've ended up where I am today regardless, and thats because its what God decreed for me. No matter what i could've done differently with my life thinking that it could've affected the outcome, it really wouldn't have. When God wants you somewhere, thats where you'll end up regardless of what you do or what you change in your life. 

As I sit and think of what could've been, I realize that I really wouldn't have it any other way. I love where I am today and feel like I would've missed out on an entire life adventure if I was anywhere else. Im surrounded by amazing people who I love from the bottom of my heart and am in an amazing educational facility that I am learning so much from, knowledge wise and character wise. I cant imagine my life anywhere else. At the end of the day, we all get the same piece of paper, the only thing thats different are the words written across the top and the signatures at the bottom. 

With that said, a sincere congrats to all my friends and family members who are on to big things with the big boys, but I like where I am right here; where I belong. 

I guess I can go back to studying now.

Reflection

So a year ago today, May 11, marks the 1 year mark of my graduation from undergrad.

WOW! Time certainly flies by. I can't believe I've been out of school for a year. I've contemplated about going back to school and getting my Master's many times. Sad thing is, financial aid is even harder to obtain for that higher level of education. I'm a first generation grad in my family. Statistically I probably wouldn't have successfully made it to college let alone graduate. But I did it. Now that I've graduated, it's crazy. I never realized how structured, yet free my life seemed during school. Yeah, oxymoron lol It's the truth though. When you are in school you may go through many struggles but it doesn't compare to what kind of struggle comes post undergrad life.

Working all the time, your life consumes of paying MORE bills, and MORE responsibilities, etc. Don't get me wrong. Graduating when I did was perfect. I came, I saw, I conquered. Little did I realize though, I was challenged everyday in school with the knowledge I can obtain. Now the current full time job I have is a wonderful establishment, I'm not longer challenged.  AND a person like me w/o challenge is like a  child genius when bored. I don't act out, but I surely have lack of enthusiasm b/c of no challenges.

I have more time in my head to think and giving a person like me all that time to think is detrimental to my happiness. When you work all the time you have to find balance. That's become so difficult for me. You'd think with the kind of person I was throughout all my life in school with multi-tasking that wouldn't be so hard. It is. School gave me variety. I've come to the conclusion I need a career that will give me the best of both worlds or I will hate working everyday of my life. That's not okay. I love the company I work for, but I need a new position. Not to mention a pay that will reflect the worth of my degree.

Concrete

A good foundation supports anything that is stacked on top of it. It provides the strong starting point to all weight it may have to carry.

With people; some have a strong foundation built from values, taught to them as children, or maybe an experience in life that has engineered great thinking and reflection. Until one comes face to face with their true values they are not living to life's full potential, merely just skimming the surface.

Many of us live blindly, floating through ideas, made up fantasies and impulsive decisions about what we may want in a moment. Many of us are unhappy and lacking something deeper; we spend much of our time confused about what that might be.

Look inwards for the answers, they will not come easy. Reflect on who you are and who you initiate other people to be. What you give to, and how you treat other people is very important to who you are. 

Do you know who you are, what you want, who you want to be?

White Out

The weather report said Snow squalls were forecasted for the day And communication would be down As a result of the complete white out I thought of calling you Just to see how you found the snow to be Were you frozen to the core With those familiar shivers crawling down your spine? Were you as blinded as I was by the white? Did you have time to retreat inside Before the blizzard blew through? All these questions I'd been meaning to ask you Swirled themselves in pretty patterns of snowflakes Within the storm clouds of my imagination I dialled your number on my phone But all I got was a busy tone And I realized that we had been in a white out Of broken communication For a much longer time Than the weatherman said this storm would last Separated by the harsh distance of ice and snow It was my cold heart that had let you go

Reflecting

I was sitting on my tree of life thing this afternoon, and started thinking to myself....why did Rover trick me into being mayor? Why did that turtle dude retire? Red is actually allowed in the cities and while he still sells fake things, no one is ever like "you need a password because he's illegal" anymore. And he won! Tom Nook gave up the retail store business and went into real estate. Everything is a mess in Alchera! And so, my conclusion. The reason I'm mayor...NO....KING?!
