I am no longer asking myself what I should do that will make my parents proud, but what I want to do that will make ME happy

Embracing this crazy but wonderful journey and not obsessing over the future. What success looks like to me now is much healthier, much clearer, and a whole lot of who I am and who I aim to be. It could still change though, for as long as I’m growing as a person.

I wanted to try out his outdoor class

Keywords: My Portugal visits , brita , energy , Onestepatatime , singelwoman , zumba

so I took my car and drove off. Suddenly I passed a large shopping center, and decided to do a stop there. I want to buy a Brita (water filtration system) and both save nature and my arms carrying all those water bottles around! Once I entered the building I saw that they also had a car wash service. Perfect! My car really needs a clean after being on the road for so many miles. First available appointment was in Tuesday. Said and done!

The job I ended up with just happens to be the one I have wanted to land in for the last 9 years and due to a retirement was already in the works for me to train in, but it was very uncertain if anyone else would bump me for it

These were all personal areas for myself that I wanted to grow and I am so thankful that I have! When I think of looking at my ‘reverse gap,’ it is hard not to feel happy about what improvements have happened. I find I have no reason to get caught up feeling not good enough comparing to others when I just compare to my past self. Then think back 2 years, then 5 and 10. Some of these things happened that I hadn’t expected. A year ago, I didn’t know I was going to get the job I wanted. A year ago, if I thought about an exercise program, I wouldn’t have considered committing to more than 6 weeks of working out.

Whenever I want something, the unspoken assumption is that once I get this thing, life will be better, my nagging desire will finally cease

Keywords: allow, anxiety, aspirations, attachment, avoidance, discomfort, grasping, grateful, gratitude, happiness, let go, mindfulness, peace, practice, reaching, wanting

It dawned on me this morning that wanting is part of what it means to be alive. Even though we may reach our goals or obtain whatever it is we desire, that wanting is not going to go away. There will always be something else to fixate on. We are all going through life chasing a moving target. At first this can seem rather depressing. Will we never truly reach happiness then?

I want to thank my classmates for the past 5 months as we created such wonderful memories together

You guys made my semester fun and special, and I genuinely hope that we’ll be able to hang out again next semester. I know that some of them will shift strands and I’ll miss some of them, but I also know that they’ll be happy because they’re on the strand they want, and I’m glad for them as a result. Already, I’m starting to miss them and the laughs we shared.

I want people I care about to be happy and I go into DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY mode sometimes

Keywords: {0}

I realized that that whole chain of traumatic memories and accompanying feels boiled down to two things for me. Fear of abandonment and rejection. Breaking news: when I boil them down and process them almost ALL of my negative self talk and negative emotions are rooted in those fears. That people I *think* love me will just…leave. And the curtain will fall and it will just be me wondering why I make everyone leave.
