Hi loves. Can I be real with you all? I feel like I can because we're slowly forming this relationship where we can really relate to one another...

Where do I even start? I have just been so out of it these past few weeks and I'm slowly (very slowly) getting back into the swing of things. Unfortunately, I've had more loses than wins recently and it's really taking a toll on me emotionally, mentally, and physically. I literally feel like I've just been dropped off in a foreign country with no phone, no money, and no direction. Just standing there in the middle of the street with everyone passing around me. I guess it's just because I'm in this crazy, awkward stage in life right now? Job hunting, looking into graduate programs, deciding on a career path -- not for the faint of heart my friends. Plus, I think my lack of travel has stifled my creativity! Not to mention other stipulations I'd rather not go into detail about. 

So, over the past few days, I've started digging my way out of this pitiful pit I've put myself in. I'm earnestly seeking employment I'm qualified for within the tri-county area. I've selected a graduate program to apply to. Plus, I've decided to list and research areas across the country and different career options I'm interested in. I'm slowly trying to figure it out! But the highlight of this awkward part of life is that I've finally created a little routine for myself which is a task in and of itself for me!

Let me tell you, I am awful at routines.
[Examples] Take medication as prescribed? Probably not. Turn Netflix off after that last episode? *Continues to watch episode after episode after episode. Actually leave home on time? Girl, I wear this MK watch to make my wrist look good, not tell time. 

But this new routine I've developed has been going strong for a good 2 1/2 weeks now. Ya'll, I get up every morning between 8am and 9:30am and go running! Not actual running takes place. It's more like half walk, half jog. But still, I get my lazy but up and do something productive. And I'm not talking about just a few laps. No, ma'am. Ya girl adds a mile each week! I started with just 2 miles and now I'm up to 4 miles everyday this week. Next week will be 5 miles, the next 6 miles, etc. I'm not even complaining about it or dragging either. I actually really, really enjoy it! Running gets my mind going and creative juices flowing! 

With all of that said, I just wanted to let you all know I'm alive and well. I'm still into this blogging thing and I hope you all continue to hang around! 

​xo,
