My Hopes For 2025

  I am definitely having some jitters about leaving my job. I am so excited for the freedom, but a part of me is really going to miss my apartment and New York. Living here has been such a dream. This is the first apartment I have truly loved and felt like home in. I love the beat and pulse of New York City (what a cliche, right?). But I am so heartbroken at having to leave my apartment. I even thought about renegotiating my contract with my current job and went through the entire process of creating a plan to possibly stay in my current position. But a part of me knows that is not the right step. Sure, I'll get to stay in my apartment and continue my life here, but there is no growth in that. I have to accept the fact that I am stagnant in this job and there will be no opportunities to grow as both a professional and a person. This job is suffocating me and I am unable to live my life because of it. Hell, I haven't even gone on a date in over 5 years. I don't even look pre...

Cooling Down

 


This week has been so nice because the weather is finally staring to cool down. The mornings have a chill in the air and the evenings are mild. I've busted out my sweaters for the official start of sweater weather! The leaves are also starting to change a bit around here. 

Today's my dad's birthday. Surreal to think that he is 59 years old today. My family's coming over before we head out to the zoo and PF Chang's for a birthday dinner. I've finally got all of my fall decor out and can't wait to bake some pumpkin snickerdoodles before they come over.

I placed an Ulta order for the first time in like months. I need to do a makeup refresh and toss out all of my makeup that has been collecting bacteria. Some of the things are like 5+ years old - yikes! There's something so refreshing about buying new makeup. I definitely don't wear nearly makeup as often as I used to and my self-care has been minimal - so it feels really nice to buy products to treat myself with. I may even do an old school haul post, who knows. 

This week, I've decided to focus on self-care. No matter how rushed I am or how behind I may be for work, I need to prioritize self-care and taking care of my physical and mental health. My morning routine is sacred to me and instead of doing work, finishing notes, and just laying in bed full of anxiety - I want to spend some time with nature, relax with my cup of coffee, and just de-stress.
