I know what you’re all probably thinking. She didn't post last week oh my lantaaaa (as this comes two weeks late because I thought I had set a posting time but didn't lol) she must be taking another break. Well, have no fear friends (yall were shaking in your boots weren't ya). Yes, I may not have posted on here the other week but it was for a very good reason. Not that I really need a reason as this is my site, and sometimes life just happens, a writer's block or two come up, etcetera etcetera. And honestly, I can post whenever I want to, it’s not something that I should apologize for if I don’t happen to do it (also something I need to get better at, not apologizing unnecessarily); but I want to try and stay consistent with it as much as I can. With my last post, I talked about being an open book and learning when to be published and when to stay private. Back in quarantine, it was a lot easier as I spent 90% of my days doing …. Well not much lol. I was allotted more downtime than I truly knew what to do with, but my passion for writing and a small little dream that I had held onto for years came into fruition and I am so damn thankful for it every day. I shared with you all countless stories (well actually 50 but who is counting lol) of adventures, heartbreak, and growth. And while a lot of my life is out there for others, there is also a huge chunk that I like to keep just for myself as well.
I have been back to work for almost a year now and while at times it is still an adjustment as my schedule can vary week to week - I am learning to just take it to step by step and go with the flow. This is exactly what I did when it came to last Thursday. Was I a bit flustered and stressed at first that I didn’t get a post out for ya’ll. I’ll admit, yeah I was. I just had made my come back this last month and wanted to keep up with it. However, I quickly did a 180 and took a deep breath realizing that it was ok. It still is ok. And it always will be ok if I happen to skip a week or two….or twenty. While writing is something that I absolutely love doing with all my heart, I also want to be out living my life and creating those stories of this one-of-a-kind and unique book of mine. I want to create those core memories and share special moments with the people who mean the most to me. The ones that I will look back on in thirty years with nothing but a smile on my face.
Part of my family was in town last Thursday and Friday, and while I have made various trips down to San Diego to see them, and vice versa. This one was a tad bit different. It was one of my sister's birthdays and I got to treat her to one of her all-time favorite things. Disney. The last few years have been extremely tough on her - and while I won't go into detail as it is her own story to share. What I will say is that I am extremely proud of her and just those two simple days brought me so much joy that is really indescribable. To be able to witness her improvement and be there for one of her victories is a pretty damn good feeling. She is the Elsa to my Anna and her braid is being let down and she is realizing the power and strength that she possesses <3
Thank you for being one of my absolute best friends. I thank God every day that he blessed me with amazing sisters and partners in crime - you and tiff truly are one of a kind (we really are a unique bunch aren't we - you're welcome mom and dad). You're now just two years shy of your dirty thirty hehehe, and you best believe that young Jenna Rink said it best - you are gonna be flirty, and thriving. But until then, You go glen coco. This one is for you bebe!
