The nest isn't big enough for the both of us….
Welcome back everyone!!! I just wanted to give
a quick shout out to all my loyal viewers, thank you for stopping by twice a
week to read my content and to those of you who comment on my posts with kinds
words of encouragement and useful tips. Your support does not go unnoticed, it hasn’t
been a month since I’ve started my blog and it has already received over 300
page views!!!! (whoooooo)
I am so proud of myself for being consistent and staying motivated when my odds seemed bleak!
Today’s topic has much to do with my personal
life and current circumstances. A new addition has been added in my household,
which is a positive overall and a realization of my time at home. It has really
made me focus more on what my future should look like. Earlier this week I registered
for my last semester of my undergraduate career!!!
I am beyond excited and thrilled and feel
totally validated; I overcame and have made it to the finish line!! Please leave
comments about your feelings during your last semester at university or post
high school education; what did you major in and why?
I am registered to take my LSAT this June
and, determined to attend my first semester in law school Fall of 2018. So, I have
a pretty clear idea of what I want to do after undergrad, but I don’t have any
idea of where I want to go (to live) and start that chapter of my life. Back to
my home situation, I have always enjoyed my own space, been responsible for
bills, etc., and had a great pride in being independent.
I have prayed about the day where I wouldn’t live
with family and I’d really be “free”, I am somewhat free now but not how I would
like (if that makes sense).
So, my dilemma is how do I know when my time is up?
1.
When you get
excited when no one is home?
2.
You get annoyed
when someone harasses you while you’re in the bathroom?
3.
When you must
specifically schedule time to occupy areas of the house?
I’m
pretty much experiencing all the above, in addition to my longtime boyfriend wanting
me to move in with him…
I
tend to overthink and highly scrutinize… you know the whole pros and cons list
or in some cases skipping that and just thinking about all the things that could
go wrong.
I
am so use to having a plan and then a backup plan and then a backup plan to
that backup plan. But, then I have moments of deep thought about my only ONE
life I have, and at this very moment I’ll never be this young again with all
that I have now, so why not go with it? Why not live? Why not take the risk? I’ll
never know what something is like if I never give it a try.
I
will keep you guys updated!!! For now, leave me comments of what point in your
life you had to make a big decision, what motivated you? Was it intuition? Family?
Or pure risk (going with the flow)?
Additional
update I have uploaded a new tutorial on my YouTube channel so make sure to
check that out and if you haven’t already check out the video that correlates
with my last post “Affirmations aren’t realistic”.
Thanks for stopping by make sure to like, comment,

suggestions!!!
Xoxox,

I love your post, I have had to make major decisions at to points in my life. Once when my daughter was killed and I had to raise her daughter, and one recently when I decided to start selling my body scrubs and look for another job at the same time. I guess I could say I had come to the point where I needed a change. Great post and keep your head up and make sure you get that me time.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing your story!! you're very strong.....your comment is very inspiring and has motivated me.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Toni. Congratulations on your achievements.
ReplyDeleteThank You!!!
DeleteTough decisions are a part of life. I will say that if you move from one person's home into another person's home, that's like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. I know that's the popular course these days. But popular doesn't always equal right. I'd would weight that decision very carefully.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the honesty. I appreciate it!
