I'm not falling.

A quote I found recently has really stuck out to me and been on my mind lately.
"Stumbling is not falling"
It's four simple words but it got me thinking.
It
may seem like we are falling but take a step back and we are just stumbling, hitting a roadblock that we will definitely learn something from.
I've been trying to keep that in mind lately as little things come up. It's seriously not the end of the world and looking back later in life the little things I think are so big, probably won't even be remembered.
It’s seriously not worth stressing over all this small stuff. So I’m working on it!
Still, it’s easier said then done.

Est. 1994.

15 years ago today our family became official. Mom and Dad had a "real" wedding and us three started our journey together. 15 years later we're still going strong, stronger then ever actually.We've added 3 more people which totally completes us and we all know what family is and what it means to us.

For me they're the biggest blessing I have. I'm soo grateful for all of them. I have an amazing life and I'm glad they make it possible and we all get to share it.

They're my best friends.

Happy Anniversary!

MY life.

I can be who ever I want and those around me will respect it. With openness, love and encouragement. I am the one who chooses how I live, how I progress and what my standards are. I choose to "never let my circumstances dictate my future" and to live as I want to. Taking advice from only those I admire, and doing what's best for me at that particular time. Living with no regrets, loving with no boundaries and dreaming as if I can achieve anything.
Because I can.
This is my world and I have to shape it before someone else does, going confidently in the direction of my dreams.
I choose.
It's my life.

Who am I?

I've been thinking a lot lately about myself, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't really know who I am. Not in a bad way, I just don't really get myself yet. Why do I do the things I do? Who do I want to be? What makes me, me? It’s a lot to think about.
I guess no one has them self 100% figured out though, right?

Being social.

The truth is... Being in one place scares me. The whole not moving around, seeing the same thing everyday and seeing the same people frequently has been alot to handle for me and my whole family lately. Sounds terrible right, like I can't handle living "normal" like everyone else. It's not that I dislike where we are, I keep hearing "It's Florida you should be happy, people go there for vacation" yeah, that's true. The place isn't bad, it's actually quiet nice. It's not that I dislike the people, cause I have actually met some really great ones who I enjoy. It's just a change.

But my biggest thing is being around people... sounds like a hermit, right? I like the feeling of meeting someone hanging out and moving on, does that mean I'm un-social? I have good relationships with friends who I don't see on a weekly basis, they're still my "best friends", but lately I've been feeling the distance. With distance in miles sometimes becomes distance in friendships, and that sucks. So maybe being in one place will be good for me in that sense. Meeting new people and having relationships where we actually get to see each other frequently. I feel so different from everyone around me though which makes me not even want to try. That's my problem, only I can choose to not be so closed off to those around me.

But now I'm going to put my self out there, be open to new people, new friendships and new experiences. Hello, positivity.
