A Break Can Be Needed

When life kicks you in the ass, you need to step back for a few moments or in my case months to rethink your decisions

A Break Can Be Needed
pexel

Sometimes in life we (as people) need to take a step back and rethink and evaluate certain decisions and life choices. When we rethink and evaluate these decisions, it can tend to draw you into a dark depressive type of time....and for me this was no exception. Even though I personally work in the health & wellness field, the idea of having a bad day or a bad week or even a bad month are very normal. Especially someone like myself that deals with everything under the sun and more. It can be difficult listening to people's issues & problems, with them turning back around to you and expecting you to fix these problems and issues with snap of a finger. I'm going to sound like a five year old right now but, life can be really hard, if not impossible. I am a person, not a magician. And life definitely kicked me in the ass these past two months. But, the best thing and part is I made it through alive and well. Am I still dealing with a lot of turmoil and troubling thoughts with some aspects of my life? Yes, but isn't everyone. Are there areas of my life that are working itself out? Yes, there are. Some not as quickly as others. Will I be ok? For all intensive purposes yes. Am I a dark and twisted person? Yes, but people who are not tend to be boring. All I know is that my life finally has some direction and I believe this is the direction I am meant to be going. I hope you reading this having a wonderful start to 2018 and wishing you a lovely week, thank you for reading.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
