Oh Insomnia, How I Loathe Thee

Not sure why it is, maybe it's anxiety or metabolism, but the older I get the more I am effected by insomnia. A random noise can wake me up at 3am and bam! Up for the day! Most frustrating thing ever!

However, since I am up I might as well blog a little update y'all on my life these days! Not that you're actually following but hey, we're all a little curious sometimes, lol!

Since my last post regarding my education, I have been approved to re-enroll into the nursing program I used to attend. The program has changed deans, curriculum, and instructors but has the same great advisors who motivated me to come back and achieve my goals! So that is pretty exciting! I am starting in January; with the said, I am beginning to get a little nervous. Granted, it has been 4 long years since that whole ordeal and I have matured a ton! But still, when you are traumatized by such a thing it can be hard to attempt it again!

My fears aren't that I won't know what I'm doing. Hell, I have gained even more experience since that point in my life and learned so much more about the field that seems to keep pulling me back in. I tell ya, I tried so hard to do ANYTHING else! However, the health care field evidently needs me and must be what the good Lord put me on this blessed earth to do! But seriously, I feel like as much and as hard as I tried to attempt real estate, business, or anything else, I gravitated right back to nursing.

That being said, my anxiousness purely comes from how badly I want to achieve this goal and put this failure behind me for good! I know once I am back into classes and clinicals, it will all click and be easy, I hope so anyway.

My mom always told me I need to slow down and take it one step at a time. I was always that kid with that grand scheme for my educational plan. It always failed because I was looking too far ahead. Sure, it would be great to start looking into bachelor's programs and thinking about specialities. That's my usual go to. Achieve one small, teeny step, then fly toward the next. Impatience at its best! But this time, my life is completely different. I'm not living with my parents, single, without a care I'm the world, healthy (that I thought) and going to a girls night every night at the country bar. I am a live-in girlfriend, with a responsible lieutenant boyfriend, a sweet 9 year old boy who looks up to us, with responsibilities and a bedtime. I want them to be proud! I want me to be proud.

So I guess I've answered my own insomnia question, I'm thinking and over analyzing... Surprised? Not so much! I'm praying and trusting that this is the final step in this ginormous life lesson I've been on since my diagnosis. But hey, not my plan right? It's God's.

Hope yall have a happy Tuesday! Time for coffee and some breakfast!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Save the Fave!

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle and a whole lotta Jesus! Every summer and spring, I get a tad mani obsessed! Glitter, pastels, and accent nails take over from the matte, jewel tones, and dark colors of winter and fall! I love doing my own nails, mainly because I'm a control freak and I hate bubbles, smudges, creases, and any possibility that would cause me to tell the manicurist to redo each flaw. I think they would kill me, haha! I absolutely love sparkles and accent nails! I know this isn't a new trend and people have since moved on to nail ombrees but I'm still doing the accent, surprise surprise I'm not up on the new trends! Why change if I still love it?! One polish that is my summer go-to is this sparkle from Sephora by OPI, "Meet Me at the Disco". It is the perfect pairing to almost every spring/summer shade. Since I am a true Florida girl, spring and summer tend to be one in the same, as are the shades! We only really have three seasons:...
