Growing Pains

***I am challenging myself to write in my blog more.. Well I will attempt to write once a week. Thanks to a dear friend reminding that I do have to release sometimes. ***


I am more of a paper and pencil type of writer but neither are available to me.. **Don't get me more, I love my HP..  but...** Currently, I'm sitting in Centennial Park watching birds **pigeons** and people in their daily routines.


This is the perfect place to reflect about your thoughts. Now, I heard that Centennial Park is the place that is usually overcrowd with people for concerts and events.. but today it is my refuge. With my pumps, planner, Breeze card all in hand. I am reflecting.   


As of today, I have been living in Atlanta for 5 months. My experiences in this city have been the most challenging. I believe it never crossed my mind that how much you endure mentally after relocating. My cross country move has invited, determination to stick with me long term. Subconsciously, I've attained more strength and diligence. 


All in the matter of a few months, I've
*lost a job
*unfortunately withdraw from school 
*shed some old habits
*came to some revelations about self


Of course this took a toll on me, I've experience some depression and confusing thoughts. 


Thankfully, I have a spirit of optimism and I realized this has not been the most comfortable growth spur but it's been helpful. It's actually been one of the best! 


I've learn some things. Last year, I working 3 jobs.. barely taking care of myself properly and running from self..not reflecting...not living! 


I am excited about my season of growing, loving, accepting, healing. I'm experiencing gratification for life. 


I see my gifts and opening myself to accepting them. 




In a nut shell.. I'm remembering that....




“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - Mark Victor Hansen 




**Pun intended... ***Side note... *point taken..

..Out with the old, in with the new...

We must remember that when in stages of growth, to make room for new gifts, people and opportunities..

My experience with growth is.. it's bit difficult...

Letting go.. is a bit more of a challenge than what we lead on..

Sighs..

Growth is uncomfortable. It's not a flowery stage of life when we bloom without any struggles..

Growth is about being stretch and it's VERY awkward..

I assume the key in this matter is to remember these experiences as stepping stone to a bigger picture..

Missing in Action

I had to take some time off from blogging for a bit because I wasn't very happy. I didn't want to share my unhealthy thoughts. 

I decided to take a HUGE risk, pick up and move to Atlanta! 

My original plan was to move in November. 

However there was a series of events that just had me puzzled.
I also realized how that I am living a really adult life 

and

I haven't live a little. 

so.. 

Atlanta here I come.. 

Maybe I'll find what I am looking for? 

Maybe there will be a shift for me?

Who knows right?

Life Lesson.. Number 001.. Grease fires.

I think will use my "life lessons" section of my blog for funny little things that happens to me.

For example:

Life Lesson 001.

Remember while broiling chicken in the oven. Double, double, double check and see if there is a hot bar above your dinner.
Otherwise you have a grease fire, like I did yesterday.

Smile.

Quick tip: Use flour in a grease fire!
*That's something I google*
