Recklessly Thirty

"Stop trying to control everything and just let go" - Tyler Durden, Fight Club  Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in Fight Club Let's face it, this is the hottest picture of Brad Pitt... Ever!  As for the quote, this is something I need to remember on a daily basis. I am someone who likes to have a plan and be in control of everything I possibly can be. Sometimes, you just have to remember that you just have to let go and let fate take it's course! 

Don't worry be happy No, seriously, drop the worries. When you find yourself stressing out about the things you have zero control over, you have got to learn to let it go I am still in the process of learning how to be free of the negative things in life that grab me by the hair and throw me down. Fortunately, over a year ago, I was informed of a silly little challenge online that is supposed to remind you every day that there is something in life worth being happy about! I did the challenge when told about it. For a little over 100 days I took a picture of something that made me happy. Some days it was the man I was dating, other days it was a meal I prepared, a candy bar, or me and a friend. I post the pictures to my Instagram page and overused the hashtags it's just one more thing that makes me happy! Recently I had found myself finding negative aspects of my days instead of positive so I decided to do the 100 Happy Days challenge again! Round two as I like to call it...

Twenty something's, go out there today... Every day, and get what you want ! There is nothing in this world that will hold you back more than yourself!  Trust me, I know. Work harder to be where you want to be in life so that you can play harder when you get there!  What's motivating you today?

It is absolutely fantastic having weekends off. Sunday funday for me consists of laying in bed, munching on potato chips and binging on Lifetime movies and whatever else is on. This past Sunday I got to watch Billy Madison for probably the 40th time. I always get a good laugh out of it, but it really got my gears grinding about making a decision on whether or not I want to go back to school for a bachelors degree. When you're in junior high and high school, grown ups are always talking about how important it is to get a good education, to work hard, and to go to college to score a great job in the real world. Had I known that they weren't just blowing smoke I would have really tried harder. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and what I do. So much so that I'm working towards moving up in my field. So much so that I'm considering going back to school to further my education. {{{YIKES}}}  I was a C average student in high school. I thought I'd just bre...

Since starting my blog back in May of this year, I have begun to follow a few fellow twenty something bloggers. There is one specifically that caught my attention because of the way she writes and the topics she chooses to speak upon. This young woman is a twenty something in the midst of her own struggle of an adventure to thirty like myself. Being one year younger than me, I can relate completely to her blog, Twenty Everything. After reading one of her posts that hit me close to home, I reached out to her to give her my positive feedback. Next I asked her if she would mind me featuring her blog via my blog. Gladly and gratefully, she agreed! I put together an e-mail of random questions to ask her. Some meaningful, some just for no reason at all! In doing this, I learned that my fellow blogger, Sarah, was more like me than I even realized! Without further ado... Q: Why did you start blogging and what prompted that decision? A: " I have always loved writing! It's a...

That's right, I have gone and done it again! I never cease to stop surprising myself with all of the silly things that I say or do. Back in September, I compiled a list of the random things I find myself doing  sometimes . It wasn't anything special, just my way of letting people know that I am one weird, funny, normal human being and it's ok for all of you twenty something's to feel the same way about yourselves! Sometimes I ...Make lists upon lists. I say this with no exaggeration to the fact that I will literally make a list of things to do and then a separate, individual to-do list of how to get the first list done. Some call it OCD, I call it organized!...But for real, that's OCD, I know! Sometimes I ...Eat potato chips in bed. Yeah, I said it! I will lie in bed and be on Pinterest or watch tv on my iPad and eat an entire can of Pringles. At times I forget that I even did it the night before and wake up in a sea of crumbs and wonder what happened. I am in n...

The majority of you twenty something's will end up making your New Years resolution something along the lines of losing weight and dieting better. Maybe you'll try to quit smoking...again! Perhaps you will try to drink less. Lets face it, you'll work out for a month at most and give up because it's a lot of work. The fried foods call your name loudly. Hey it does my name too, that's why I don't work out...ever! If you're going to quit smoking, just do it already. Enough with the electronic cigarette bullshit! Man up and cold turkey it! Just quit. It's gross!! As for drinking? Well let me put it this way... After the New Year, it's February, which means Valentine's Day. As a single woman, I will be home with a glass of wine! Did I say glass? I meant a bottle....or two! Ah hell, let's face it. I'm not quitting on the drinking any time soon! 2015 for me is going to be a major change in my lifestyle!Allow me to begin with this year. If you...
