"I'm going down... follow if you want, I won't just hang around like you showed me where to go.. Already out of foolproof ideas so don't ask me how to get started it's all uncharted... LA LA LA LAAA!" - Sara Bareilles "Uncharted"
Love that song... I definitely think it speaks to me because it defines how I feel, especially when I'm in my funky days. How many of us fall into a funk of "This isn't what I wanted" or "This is not how I pictured things to be" Raise of Hands? Anyone, Anyone? .... Ah, yes you in the back! ... I know I do and for me especially, sometimes its hard to pull yourself out. Depending on the goal you set to reach or a situation, the funky mood can turn into funky days and sometimes weeks or months at a time... yea depression. As 20-Somethings, I think we ride ourselves really hard to make the most of our lives. The era that we live in is a demanding one; between pressing work schedules, image issues and the pressures from family and friends we sometimes begin to feel bogged down. Eventually you find yourself unmotivated because you can't seem to make everyone happy or accomplish all you set out to do. One of my favorite lines from the song above is " Compare... where you are to where you wanna be and you'll get... nowhere"
It resonates with me because its the truth; we all aspire to be something or make something of our time here and we consistently ask ourselves " what is it that I'm doing that I can't seem to do X,Y,Z" ... we have to remember its not necessarily the journey but the destination that defines the success you experience in life. Everyday will not be the most fulfilling or rewarding... your gonna disappoint people and not be able to do all you want, but God ( or whomever your higher power maybe) graciously gives us a new day everyday. With that, comes a new opportunity to achieve all you may desire. Beating yourself up over the "uncontrollable" ( as I call them) is insane; it can lead to many issues including depression, with drawl from those closest to you and other mental/physical health issues. We must lean on the understanding that we are not super heroes, running around with an 'S' on our chest... but just people trying to make due with what we have. The future is most definitely uncharted but that's what makes each day exciting... the unknown.

L.A.L #2 : WRESTLEMANIA!!!
What a beautiful sunny day it is in Farmington Hills, MI! I love springtime and esp. sunny days... really lifts your spirits... ANYWHO This blog will be a 2 part adventure, so bare with me.
Never apologize for being who you are, that's like apologizing for being real! Of course this is a lesson that is taught to you as a child yet it doesn't quite become useful until your older. As 20- Somethings we all go thru phases and changes; some of us find that our method of handling situations may not have been the most effective or that the way you view yourself is not what's portrayed. No matter the situation, never apologize for being the person that you are most comfortable being. I am not perfect in any shape or form but I am aware of my realities; I'm aware that I can be moody, sometimes demanding and talk smack.... but these qualities do not complete the make-up of who I am. I'm also very generous (sometimes to a fault), optimistic and thoughtful; Therefore I will not be ruled by my bad qualities, but instead embrace them and keep it moving. If someone in your life doesn't approve of who you are, that doesn't make them a bad person. It means that sometimes people grow apart and that just means that life is indeed moving forward. Relationships of any kind are hard to maintain, esp. the older the relationship grows. Yet if you are ever at a crossroads where your being asked to compromise yourself for the betterment of another, then its time to re-evaluate that relationship. You should never have to change to get along with someone or go with their program.... march to your own beat! Trust me my dear 20- Somethings, its hard being who you are in a world full of stereotypes, but the reward, peace of mind and sound sleep you have at night is well worth it :)
Now on to the fun stuff .... Live A Little #2!! This time we took it to 1 of my favorite bars (Bailey's Bar and Grill in Dearborn, MI) for one of my favorite sports... WRESTLING!! Yes I am an avid watcher of wrestling and am not ashamed lol
This bar is awesome! Best Bar food I've had so far and the set-up (This is the Basement!!) is comfortable with long couches in the front... it feels like your at home enjoying this match. They show the pay-per-views once a month and the crowd never disappoints... it's always packed! $59.99 to watch it at home versus $3 a person to watch at the bar.... yea I'm there! I believe in giving everything a try once... 1 year later we're regulars lol I enjoy these events because its one way to see some of the people in my life that I don't get to see to often, laugh and pig out. There always on Sundays and its just a great way to start the week.
Til' next time my dear 20-Somethings "Take Care of Yourself and Each Other" lol :)
