I wish I had sought therapy, specifically bereavement counselling, earlier on

Keywords: Bereavement , Opinion , Death and dying , Family , Mental health , Health

It suddenly dawned on me that my family did not waste a single minute of their lives; they lived and loved fiercely every single day. I needed to do the same. I went back to my studies at university, curbed my vices and started to live rather than just exist. After all, this is what my family would have wanted for me.

I want to shift my focus to teaching how to build a closet full of staples where you have an opportunity to shop your own closet and have countless choices

Keywords: Living , Style

Since I would describe my own personal style as classic, preppy and nautical, I will be making a capsule closet of my own that reflects that. You can expect lots of navy, stripes, and gingham with pops of color. I also plan on covering the whole gambit of occasions to meet all of your dressing needs. Honestly, the more I think about this personal challenge and project, the more excited I get. Who knows, it may even inspire me to completely Marie Kondo my entire closet. That may be quite a stretch, but it’s nice to daydream.

I want to take you with me so that we can all fly together

Keywords: {0}

I have to say, it’s a little sad to be writing my last post here. But you can always find me on basically every social media platform using Normal in Training, because that’s still me. Except instead of training to be normal, I’ve got my training wheels on because I’m learning how to fly.

I’ve been wanting to play this since I first heard it several years ago

Keywords: art , creativity , find your center , get your shit together , music , zen

the best part of my lesson was a collaboration of sorts… One song I wanted to play (that I introduced him to) was “Scratching Machine” by Janko Nilovic, part of the Montparnasse 2000 Library. It was a collection of circa 1970s French contemporary jazz. It was mostly used for incidental music in various shows. Anyway, this particular piece has an amazing bass riff and guitar riff. Alas, no sheet music. So while I was snowbound, I picked out the main note I heard, showed my instructor and damned if he didn’t figure out the right notes for the chord! He was playing a bunch until I finally exclaimed, “That’s the one!” It’s exciting when you find someone with perfect pitch like yourself! In any case, he wrote it down so I would remember what the fuck I was playing, taught me to strum it… I was beside myself!

I was often called selfish when all I wanted to do was enjoy something for myself

Keywords: Everyday Life , Life Updates

I understand peace comes from within (I could be wrong) and getting the peace I desire is going to take a lot of work. Being more mindful and intentional with my words and actions, forgiving myself for past decisions I’ve made, allowing myself grace, and allowing myself time to heal. Creating a safe place for myself to grow and evolve as a person. It’s not going to happen overnight however going back to things I enjoy, creating new habits as simple as they are, have brought a level of peace and calm to my life I think I was searching for. Life is already hard as it is but finding the little things that make us happy or what we enjoy makes it better. This is a lesson I am learning, not being afraid to do what I want to do and not being afraid of trying. Just do, just doing whatever I want with no fear and regrets. I wrote this post because I’ve been grappling with different aspects of my life lately, and this was an area that took a hit the most. I wanted to share with you some of the little things (I may have mentioned in the past) I have been doing to create a more peaceful environment for myself. If you have made it to the end of the post, thank you, thank you for allowing me to share a bit of myself, and thank you for the support.

There are so many things that I want to learn, especially things that I never tried because they seemed too hard

Keywords: {0}

Part of what changed my perspective [has] been my absence from social, in fact, after a few months I dropped social media, I stopped caring about other people’s opinions, and stopped worrying about showing my success to everyone.

I want to feel the urgency, the rush, the feeling that you can get caught doing something you shouldn’t be doing

Keywords: Blogger , love or be killed , new book , teaser , writing

I think that’s exactly why I’m not sure I’ll get out of the deep end like some people. I won’t learn from this. I won’t be lucky enough to grow from the lessons learned. Instead, I’m willingly pushing myself down further because seeing him with anyone else provides me with a gut-wrenching feeling. Not like most people who have watched their ex move onto someone else and it tore them apart. For me it’s more of a tightening and sickening feeling, because I know seeing him with someone else doesn’t mean I’m jealous. It means I’m scared and not for myself, but for them. I’ve hidden in the shadows patiently waiting for his next victim, but I’m always too late. Each time a new woman appears I don’t have enough to actually get the bastard. I love him, but not in a way a woman should love a man. I love the chase. I love the thrill that I almost catch him every time and yet he’s still always one step ahead allowing me another day to plan my next move. Even though I know it’s numbing every piece of my existence and is slowly killing me from the inside out, I can’t shake the feeling of loving the game so much it puts me in danger.

I Want to Improve My Stress

In contrast to negative stress, positive stress/eustress is a type of stress that can have a beneficial effect on us. Positive stress is produced and released from facing challenges. This type of stress can help to motivate and offer energy to an individual.

Just like every international student I wanted to stand out, stand out in English in a room with 90% students born in America who knew English as their mother language

Keywords: {0}

Honestly, I would say that what I learned in this class has boosted my confidence in other classrooms as well. I believe this was a great first contact with college in America.
