I want to love myself, before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant, and now after being pregnant not only for myself but for Bug, too

She deserves a mom who isn’t measuring her self worth against that last roll of fat that will not budge off of her stomach (seriously, why the hell is that thing still sticking around), and who will bake (and eat) cookies with her on a cold winter’s day.

I’m not necessarily the same person that I was when I was 18 and I want my content and image to reflect that

University felt a bit like a transitional period from teenager to adult and now I feel like I have nothing to hide behind now even though I still don’t want to be an adult. I was having so many existential crises over where I should be living and working whilst actively trying to avoid making a decision about any long-term plans. I contemplated moving to Glasgow, switching jobs, taking online courses and started looking at masters programmes because without the student lifestyle, I lost my way quite a bit. However, it’s evident from talking to me or reading my dissertation, that Edinburgh is a huge part of my identity and giving it up by moving away wasn’t going to be the cure that I thought it would be. Instead, I moved to a different part of the city, the West End, switched to a full-time role at my job and started taking myself out on dates again.

I want to learn from what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in the past and adjust for the writer I am now

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know I’ve done 30-day first drafts of my last three manuscripts. I LOVE this process, but now that I have a chronic illness, I may have to adjust this a little to make sure I’m taking care of myself.

I decided to major in Communication studies because I knew that I had a gift for speaking and communicating with others

Keywords: {0}

I wanted to speak for audiences and make a difference in the world. I believe that I can be the sunshine on a cloudy day and show my light to those that may be struggling. I want to inform people about what is most important and teach them how to be successful. I have prepared for this goal by attending my communication classes and by starting a Communication Studies club at Grand Valley. I wanted to be a part of something that was greater than myself. I will continue to prepare and to work hard to accomplish my goals. I want to inspire others and grow into a better person and role model for people to look up to.

There are many things I want to try but there are also quite a few things limiting what I can do

Having other people comment on your assessments and teaching approaches seems like a good way to gain new perspectives with which you can better yourself. Now I only have the internet for those things but hopefully things will start looking up and I will soon get to do the things I could not before.
