The Trigger Point

I’ve recently realized I’ve gotten myself into a pretty crappy situation. I’ve always been very stupid and unaware of danger so this is not an uncommon occurrence. But this specific situation, or more accurately put-environment, has been tearing me down more so than I’ve ever experience. And, it is not providing me much insight either so ultimately, it’s complete crap.

Let me explain myself, I’m always up for a challenge. I’m up for some beat down if it leads to some new learned knowledge and profound findings of who I am. But…in this current situation, I see none of that. Truth be told, I can probably always learn something new and I do…but the toxicity of my current environment is overshadowing any benefit it might produce.

Simply, I’ve stupidly allowed myself to be dragged into a whirlwind of negativity. It has become such a beast to the point where every corner of my life seems to attract more toxicity and my usually high tolerance and patience for negative things has jumped out the window and said “I quit”. At this point, I honestly have to say “I can’t stand this shit anymore. I’m so done. Fuck you.”

I would like to believe the person who just said the above quotation is not the essence of who I am and because of that, it is frustrating. Negativity has so consumed my life. Hence, I want to address a few things, my angry vent:


1) I’m capable of many things and anything. We are all. Don’t drag me down just because you don’t believe in you and thus you don’t believe in me. I FUCKING CAN.

2) There doesn’t have to be a motive to every action. Desire is enough as long as you don’t hurt anyone. Intention matters and if you have bad intention—you suck.

3) Fuck with the He said, she said. I’m not in high school. I don’t care. I don’t want to be dragged into drama. I don’t want to play the blame game. Open, honest communication is key and if you can’t do that. I can’t deal with your shit.

This episode of mine has all been triggered because I was sick and then I was questioned. It’s petty but it’s the tipping point. I can be sick and post facebook pictures without having my integrity questioned. I refuse to not do something simply so I can fit a standard of what it means to be sick. If you are in an environment where you have to constantly question the motives and honesty of those around you, I suggest you get the fuck out because that’s not how life should be.

Here's a disclaimer note: To be honest, I think the people in my life are great. And though my above vent is a tad angry, I’m not trying to attack anyone. I’m just really upset at all the deceit, hypocrisy, and negative thoughts people have of one another. So yeah, ending vent.

P.S. Not the Come-back Entry I wanted but it is important to be honest. This is step #1 to positive change. Step #2: Make the choice. Step #3: Follow through.

Relaunch in April/May 2014

Hey all,

To those randoms readers that end on my blog, just letting you know that I am determined to relaunch later this Spring. I just feel like I need some time to regroup. And, by setting up a launch date...it makes me feel like it is more official and that there is a fresh start. So stay tune!

So much love,

Growing Up

Some days are easier than others and today I'm having an off day. To be honest, my off days actually happens more frequently than I would like but it has become a lot better since the new year and I've been seeing things in more of a perspective. However, I'm a little bit frustrated today.

There's this reoccurring message that the universe seems to be throwing in my face: grow up. Let me clarify, I'm fully aware that I need to grow up and that I'm growing up and that I am a grown up. I am working on it. I am trying to figure out my life and I am really aware of this need to have my life become stable...to have a career. I consider myself an ambitious person and I know I have nothing to show for right now but I am conscious of it and working on discovering my path.

In 2013, all I did was stressed out about what I should be doing with my life and it took a lot to calm myself down and start fresh, to feel inspired and motivated again. I have so many failures under my belt that 2013 was a tipping point and it was difficult for me to recover. I HATED myself in 2013. And I am ashamed of myself for feeling that way but I felt like I was insignificant.

I don't want 2014 to be a repeat of me feeling incompetent. I don't know what I'm doing with my life still. I want too many things and I strive too high. The reality is I might fall flat on my face and I don't want that. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. So hearing people (as good intention as they may be) remind me of my need to grow up does not do me any good. I am working on it.

But I did give myself a due date. I do have a game plan. I do have a time line. And I have made plans and back up plans. I am figuring out what I like and what I don't. I am taking chances and, most important, I am trying.

I am taking dance classes again. I am signed up for acting classes. I did take a kids yoga certification course and have a few more educational courses that I plan to take. I haven't figured out a way to combine all my interests and love into one career but I'm taking chances in everything. So my respond to growing up...yes, I do need to grow up...but people do it differently and not all process can be seen.


So much love,
atypical
JaneDoe.

Wake up to reality

I haven't accomplished as much as I set out to accomplish in 2013. However, that is not to say 2013 was a failure because I refuse to believe it is. Rather, 2013 was a wake up call and now that I'm awake it's time for action.

Simply put...I'm still kind of dazed with the realization that everything I've ever wanted sort of fell apart (I'll give the details later). And since I've officially graduated from college the reality of becoming an adult dawned on me. It's time to grow up and figure things out--fast!

I'm a generation Y kid. I grew up with the message of: "You are special and unique...just like everyone else" and I don't know what to do with the smack hard realization that my fantasy ideals don't fit reality standards. I mean...what are you suppose to do when everything you've ever wanted turns out to be impossible for you. And then of course there's the question of: what is it that you really want? Do you really really want it? Do you deserve it? Is that you?


I guess I'm just ranting along but it is so important that I start writing today. So here's my end message: Time to wake up and figure things out. Most importantly, time to take action. Let 2014 be the year of action...let today be the start. With that note, I'm going to say good night because it is super important to me to get my health back in order and go on a routine.

So much love,
atypical
