Tuesday Update: Big News

Just wanted to give you fellas a brief update. Last time I posted I was lowkey freaking out. Not gonna lie.... I am still freaking out. But I am definitely doing much better. Time heals all wounds, as they say.

I can't really apply for work anywhere else because I don't want to lose my seniority and I don't have enough experience and education to get great pay elsewhere. So I am just going to hope my managers realize my true potential. And keep thinking that I will go back to school at some point and maybe I will get my degree mailed to me. That's how that works, right?

All that being said, I - please don't get mad at me for this guys. If you are close to me and know me well I ask that you reign in the strong desire to hit me when I say this. But I am starting an online shop again : D

The same problems that have come up in the past are still there. I have a partner that is not as motivated as I am, but damn at least I have a partner. LostMindShop.com if y'all were interested. There aren't any designs up yet because we wanted to print them first for some cool pictures.

 The difference between this and other times is that this shop won't be based on dropshipping, reselling or anything like that. We will be selling our own unique designs. Maybe we'd do better on something like redbubble, society6, or store envy. Maybe in the future, we will incorporate other items. But we will see where this goes. I think I might make a separate post about how to start an online business, since at this point and failing so many times previously I know a thing or two.

Wish me luck!

6 Tips for Coping With Stress

When I first started going to college, I found myself lost. Like many people, I felt like there was so much that I needed to do- but I had no idea what that was. Even now in my '9 to 5', I find myself feeling guilty and anxious. I feel like I could be doing more, I just don't know what. That vague anxiety and feeling of unfulfillment, plus the stress of bills and an unsatisfied family means that I find it hard to take the time to take care of myself. What does this result in? I'm sure many of you have been in my place and you can guess. Sleeping too much, too little, too restlessly. Drinking and eating too much causing me to gain weight. Breaking out. Finding it hard to care for myself. Even basic things like showering are hard to handle in the deepness of depression. These are not great combos for self-esteem, by the way. See, I know that I am prone to depression and anxiety. But I have found ways that work for me to get through those times. And I actively work...

Weekend Update

If you've read my last post you know that I was kind of starting to freak out over the upcoming move. Then this morning I woke up groggy and spent an hour on Instagram. Here you will see how my best friend Rei asked if we were going to Michael's. So we went to Michael's. It jump-started my day and kept me from getting angsty and depressed from staying in.  Here is something I'm definitely going to be DIYing when I finish moving in. Some fam-spam. Ricky and I got sushi after. And then I started packing. I took a 2.5 hour nap. I was browsing Youtube for inspiration when Ricky suggested finishing the sushi from earlier and catching up on Luke Cage.  The night ended with writing and editing... Starting the day with breakfast, coffee, and music. Ricky and I had an interesting conversation about family, abuse, sacrifice, and commitment. And of course, it is Sunday so I watched Kalyn Nicholson's new video....

Advice For Late 20s?

Anyone have any good advice for a woman in her late 20s? I thought I felt lost at 20.... yeah no. I am 26 now and have a job that COULD turn into a career or it could just stay a dead end job. I have been with my corporation under different sister companies for almost 3 years and other than the experience I really don't have anything to show for it. I can very much relate to " You Go, Girl " saying that she is tired under/overwhelmed and feeling unfulfilled. I am hoping to find some advice on what to do. I'm getting tossed around at a job, and should just be grateful I am not getting laid off. But maybe I feel entitled because they had just promised me a promotion... I would love to hustle and manifest my life as I want it- but I don't know what to aim for. Feeling very lost. Guess I will see where things take me. Guess this is where I need to brainstorm, search, and make myself a vision board ... Off to Pinterest!
