2015 Year of Greatness Review
Well, it's almost 2015 and it's time to look back at it:
When I started this year, I set out to make it the year of greatness. And now that the year is almost over, I have to say that it certainly was.
When I started this year, I set out to make it the year of greatness. Now tha I the year is almost over, I have to say that it certainly was.
I may have gotten side tracked from making videos but life got in the way. In a good way. I graduated from university, finally. I met someone that I've been with longer than anyone else. And I've found myself a job I can be excited about.
2015 really has been an amazing year. I graduated, I got a job, and I found an amazing guy. I just spent Christmas night with my boyfriend and his family and it was the best Christmas I have ever had. Christmas for me is usually some decorations inside the house and then one present from a secret Santa exchange I do with my high school friends. But this year, I got to give (and receive) a bunch of gifts to my boyfriend and friends. Plus I spent a great night with my boyfriend and his family playing board games and talking.
I feel like he is practically everything I am looking for. I know I've mentioned the list a bunch of times before, but I think when the time comes, you kinda throw the list out because all those things don't really matter anymore when you've found the right side person.
Now, 2015 turned out exactly how I wanted it to. I think I fulfilled all of my resolutions this year. I hope I can make 2016 even better!!

It's bound to happen someday
I know it's a bit morbid, but every time I travel I fear something terrible will happen to me or my travel companions and that no one will ever get to hear my last, final thoughts.
Of course my sister and mom will probably pick apart my things and keep what they want, but then again, they probably don't want any of my things. I think I'd let my best friend have any/all of the Disney stuff that I have and maybe some of my clothes. Honestly, all of my sweaters would probably just go to charity. Anyone who knows me probably knows how much I love all my sweaters (there are a lot.)
But of course, final words:
To my best friend Lia, even though we never talk, and you only emerge for one sentence to one conversation, you are my best friend and I'm glad to have met you all those years ago. Thanks for being the one I can tell all my things to, and thanks for loving me through all the dark times.
To Cody, I hope our friendship in the last years have been as good for you as it has been for me. You have helped me through some tough months and I hope I have been there enough for you too. I feel like we've been through so much together that I trust you with and about anything.
Boyfriend, we've only known each other for a few months but like always, it feels like it's been a life time. I want to spend every day with you and I think about you almost every moment that I can. Our inside jokes and cute nick names make me laugh and all the experiences and adventures we've had, I'm glad was with you. I love you so much
Family is hard to think about, there are so many that I haven't see in so long and there are things I haven't said. Being from a more closed off family, we don't tell each other that we love each other in those words, and I know I haven't shown it much lately, but I do. I truly do. I have attitude when I'm with them because I can. It's that knowing that I could never drive them away that allows me to act out the way I do.
I have my present for my secret santa on the floor, not yet wrapped, same as my present for my bb which is right next to it. I have a drawer full of tsum tsums in my night stand also a bag of them in my closet. I have so many books that I will never read. I have outfits for different occasions that I will never get to show off. I have pictures I will never get to take. I will have videos, pictures, and thoughts that I never get to share with anyone.
If my life ended this week, I don't know what I'd regret....but I think I'd like to fulfill some of my own wishes these next few days before the year is over.

Fabulous: Motivate Me!
 |
| In the Google Play Store |
Growing up means being able to take care of yourself. I recently downloaded this app called Fabulous: Motivate Me! I found it in the health & fitness category under the habits section.
 |
| Journeys to choose from |
Basically, Fabulous is an app that encourages you to change your daily habits for the better. You don't have to do it every day, and it is best to start small. They give you a couple of choices for a habit you want to change/achieve. There are options like sleeping better, keeping energized, or eating healthier. I started with the sleeping better journey.
They started me on a "disconnect & create" path. I have to turn off my devices and connect with those around me. Maybe read a book, talk to my family, or play with my dog (my own examples). And after completing this for three days, the app comes up with a new thing to try. All these habits they have are to aid me on my way to better sleeping.
 |
| My current evening ritual |
There's an option to set an alarm and it will ring before you go to bed and tell you to do all the things on your list in that order with each item as a timed task. I currently have read, shower, and meditate (newest task from the app) on my evening routine. There's also options for morning and afternoon routines. Right now I have all the alarms turned off but I do have many habits on my lists, I just enjoy crossing them off after I've accomplished them even though I don't do it any day.
 |
| Make me fabulous |
Another cool feature on the app is called "Make Me Fabulous". I particularly like this feature, there are preset routines to do such as yoga or meditation. The first one I tried was a 10 minute stretch and I have to day, I felt super energized and ready to start the day after that. These you can try at any point in the day and if you have them on your habits checklist, you can cross them off right then and there!

It Happens to the Best of Us
December 7, 2015
I am having a bad day. That's not a thing I say very often and there are so many factors piling on to make it worse and worse. But this happens to everyone, people get bad days all the time. I have a nice house, I have a loving dog, I have a job, why should I complain about bad days when there are people going through worse?
Yes, there are people starving and dying all over the world and here I am in an office watching youtube videos and eating my take-out lunch complaining about what a horrible day I am feeling. I am grateful that at the end of the day I get to go home in my car and snuggle in my bed but still if negative things never happened, the world would never progress.
Here are all the bad things that have happened thus far:
-My boyfriend and I got into a little tiff last night. He was complaining about all the money he spends with me. Well I'm sorry that I let you pay for more than 50% of the things that we do. I've told my friends this problem and they've told me "he's your boyfriend, he's supposed to pay" and they don't understand what the problem is
-Some guy told me to move my car. I work in a plaza with a bunch of other offices. I park where I can see my car, the guy whose office I parked in front of (not even in front, just partly to the side) stopped me while I was getting out this morning and told me to park on my own side. I told him that I like to park where I can see my car. I only started parking there because I noticed how empty those spots were the majority of the week. As I am sitting here now, I noticed that the guy left at around 11 this morning and hasn't returned for the last 6 hours. I'm sorry, are you asking me to not park in an unoccupied space because you can't park there once a week? You already have a space, right next to where I parked. If anything happens to my car, it is on you. And for your information, this is a shared lot, there are no assigned spaces. Unless you show me in the lease agreement that I have to park over here, you shouldn't be allowed to say anything. (On second thought, he does drive a big scary pick-up truck that can run me over so I might not want to piss him off.)
The bad mood I woke up with probably overexaggerated everything I'm feeling but another thing that happened is
-My co-worker wouldn't move the boxes. We work in a tiny office space and there's a small "foyer" type area where the front door is. That is where we put all the outgoing/incoming boxes. But this guy chose to leave 3 boxes in the middle of the room right between the two office doors. I kindly asked him to move it to the side to avoid me tripping again (because I already tripped on it once) and he told me that it is the loading area of where the boxes go and he can't do anything. I pointed out an open space for him to put it but nope, he told me to move the heavy boxes myself and left to go to lunch.
These three little things led to me being annoyed and pissed off at everything. I will be grateful and happy for what I have tomorrow but as for today, I will choose to steam and be short with everyone.
