"Changes" - Coming Soon to a Life Near You!


Changes: they happen.  And they can suck.  A famous few include puberty (everything is changing), the seasons (unless you are here in California), and the political climate (which I will NOT be getting into).  My point is that they exist and, like it or not, they help make the world go round.

I have been on a hiatus from blogging (and most of the things I enjoy) for the last few months because of this driving force - though if change were to ever have a drivers licence it would get that licence revoked so fast for speed infringements alone.  By last few months I mean since January.  So almost 7 months?  Change has recently dictated my daily life.  So here is a quick rundown of what's been going on.

1. The title of this blog has changed to reflect the main change... That could be phrased a lot better... But you get the point.  The trio has met it's end.  It's been a good year and some change (see that pun there?), but the boyfriend and I are moving on in our own way (reflected in change number 2).  So the blog will evolve to show this.

2.  I am now engaged.  There will be a post on that later down the line.

3.  The fiance and I are moving.  Finding a place was an interesting journey.  If it was affordable it was farther away than we wanted to be, and if it was within a reasonable distance to campus it was out of our price range.  It was like trying to find the one platinum needle in a pile of silver needles.  Fucking impossible.  Then one's we could compromise on had requirements we could not meet: 2 years record in a previous location, 3 times the rent as our monthly income, and a Pegasus/Unicorn offspring.  But we finally managed to find a place, within our current complex just two buildings over.  We are lucky.

4.  Job's are changing us, slowly but surely.  I get to continue my work in costuming as we face a new semester in grad school (RIP boyfriend/boyfriends social life).  But also the job hunt continues.  Recently I had 5 interviews within 1 week, out of the 50+ applications I had submitted the previous week within a 3 day period.  Some of these were even second interviews! Didn't get any of the jobs...  Finding a job so the fiance and I can keep the new place is harder than I was hoping.

So these are the most recent reasons for not being online.  Part of it does have to do with self-motivation, admittedly.  But I needed to take some of the time for myself since all of the stress started getting to me.  Hopefully these remaining months will turn things around.  It's all looking up from here.

The Concept of Minimalism and Roommates

Minimalism is a journey to find what truly makes you happy in life.  It isn't a fad about having the cleanest space with the least goods.  It isn't a switch you flip one day and spontaneously do.  You can't force yourself through getting rid of things.  You will never be able to "convert" people to minimalism.  And it certainly isn't a set number of things needed or not needed to "be a minimalist".  Everyone has their own version of what minimalism is. What minimalism is to me is finding what sparks a smile.  It's about adding meaning back into your life.  It's about remembering what really matters to you, building meaningful relationships, and not always wondering what this mad dash of society is.  It's about breaking the habit of compulsory purchasing and asking yourself "Why?"  "Why am I buying this?" "Does it mean that much to me?" This is a journey I found myself starting about a year or so ago, and...

2018, New Year

New Years Resolution: Learn to never feel the need to have a resolution again.  Just be happy with your imperfect self. This is, in my humble opinion, the one thing people always mean to say, but can never bring themselves to do.  It's the main goal, isn't it? Be happy with who you are? Here I am, one month into the new year, and this is only my first blog entry when I thought I should be on my third or fourth.  But you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that because up until this point in my life, I have had nothing but schedules, and although those can really help you when you're busy, I am tired of them controlling me.  But I shouldn't say that they controlled me. That would be incorrect.  What I should say is that I am tired of letting myself be defined by the schedules I make and force myself to keep.  I should accept the point that I need some flexibility. 2017 marks my first New Years Resolution that I held onto all year long: n...
