Act Your Age

Day 30/31

Wow we’re almost there...I’m super happy I ended up posting (pretty much) everyday. As of late my boys and I have been talking about the fact that we’re all 26, turning 27 next year and it’s somewhat of a crazy, surreal and scary feeling. The cool thing about life is that in the same way that you never stop growing, you also never stop learning. I’m constantly learning new things about myself, my friends, life, love, relationships, you name it, I’m constantly learning and I don’t think it’ll ever stop. It’s funny cuz my boys and I have this joke where we tell each other to act your age whenever we’re doing something dumb or immature lol. It’s funny cuz I find myself talking about a lot of grown up things as of late...moving out, getting married, buying a car, getting your own place, you name it. It’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind or moving too slow when you see people your age or younger doing those things like getting married or moving out and stuff, but similarly you also see people your age or older in similar stages as you, still grinding and still trying to figure things out. I’m just reminded that everyone moves at their own pace, but we’re all going to reach the finish line eventually...and if you’re a person who cares about being able to say you’re ahead or that you’ve made it before somebody else than so be it, but it’s okay to “be slower”, I’d rather say it’s okay to move at your own pace, to move at your own sense of urgency. Don’t feel the need to rush or play catch up to someone else because that might not be your speed or your path, do you. Till tomorrow, see y’all!

Growing Pains

Day 29/31

Throwback to 2011...again it’s almost the end of the year and it’s cool to see how much I’ve grown whether my writing, my mentality or whatever. So yeah, enjoy...

Apologies In Advance

Day 28/31

I think I underestimate the reach that this blog has sometimes and I swear I mean that in the humblest way possible. I mean I know I have a decently sized community of viewers but sometimes I underestimate just how many people really do read my blog and how many of those people I see on a regular basis lol whether family, friends or coworkers. I’ve told y’all many times that I and this blog have pissed off many people over the years...many friends and best friends have gotten angry at me for writing about them for whatever reason LOL. It’s not the first and surely isn’t the last time that this blog will upset people. It’s funny because I wrote something about a coworker and I never expected so many other coworkers to read and ask me about it LOL, I mean like I said in the post, it’s light...it’s not a big deal and I’m not a person to hold grudges or get super angry. I will say that for you or for anyone...you don’t want to be that coworker that everyone hates working with or comes in to work and thinks to themselves frick he/she is working today...like take a chill pill kill bill, ain’t nothing that serious. If y’all know me and if y’all know this blog more specifically, you’ll know I’m honest, to a fault at times, but it is what it is, I keep it real 100% regardless what it is and who you are. It’s never meant to be malicious or hurtful, this is a place I come to express myself and speak my mind. It’s my own personal diary/journal, I told y’all that whenever I write, I write as if no one is reading this but me, it helps keep me honest. So yeah, it is what it is, this is me, see y’all tomorrow!

We All Got Issues

Day 27/31

Can you just take in that just like that Christmas has come and gone and New Years is in the horizon...doesn’t feel like it does it? We’ve also hardly had any snow here in Toronto either which kinda kills my holiday and Christmas mood. But anyways...everyone’s got problems, everyone’s a little bit crazy and everyone’s got some sort of baggage that they carry with them into any friendship, relationship or situation: I used to think that I chilled with certain people over others because they had less baggage and were a little less crazy. But I feel like I’m realizing that it’s all perspective and we’re all crazy and we’ve all got our own problems to a certain extent. What makes someone more appealing to be around than another person isn’t the fact that they have less baggage, but that we’re willing to tolerate them more...whether cuz we like them more or they’re more pleasant to be around. Cuz I’ve been thinking as of late just the friends and people I have in my life...some of y’all are NUTS...like off the wall crazy LOOOOL. But I love y’all to death...I’m used to your craziness and whatever baggage you bring to our relationship because I know I have my own things I and you have to deal with as well. That’s one of the beauties of friendships and relationship...everyone bring something different to the table...crazy exes, psycho personality, random quirks or flaws...but in time you either learn to love and accept that and then or you turn around and walk away never to cross paths ever again. It’s jokes cuz I think about crazy self and the random and annoying things, quirks and tendencies that I bring and I laugh lol I’m just like damn, how does anyone put up with me LOL. But anyways, on that note...see y’all tomorrow.

Pain Is Love

Day 26/31

Here’s something I wrote in 2010, probably one of the first things I’ve ever posted on Facebook, back when I first started writing. I never get to finishing it...LOL, maybe I will...

Where Has The Time Gone?

Day 25/31

I always love this time of year, Christmas...New Years...despite how busy it is it’s nice to see everyone together at dinners, parties and gatherings. Where has the time gone tho? I look back to previous Christmas’ and New Years’ and I remember sleepovers with my friends...gaming into the night, waking up super early just to game even more. I remember waking up super early to go Boxing Day shopping and struggle of spending 45 minutes looking for parking and debating paying for valet parking lol. I miss those days when everyone was together, when school was our biggest issue but we still had all the time in the world to chill. I remember huge potlucks with my friends, cooking dinners together, trying to set up my friend with the newest girl haha, it seemed like only yesterday. Now I look around and it’s sad but it’s also cool to see where everyone has gone but more so how well everyone is doing. It’s cool to see how friends have moved to different countries, cities, churches, houses, you name it. But the one thing that’ll always be there is those times and memories that we shared. I mean it’s nice to reminisce but I never want to dwell and try to relive that stuff because it distracts from the present. But anyways, hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas...whether chilling with family, friends or just relaxing by yourself, I’ll see y’all tomorrow!

Merry Christmas

Day 24/31

Merry Christmas y’all, thought I’d hit y’all with an early post since I know I’m behind one day and I owe y’all a post. As the year winds down...it’s felt like it’s blown by but also gone by hella slow, but I’ll save that for my year end wrap up post. Honestly work has kept me so busy that it doesn’t even really feel like Christmas or the holidays. It’s weird because at work and at the mall there’s all these decorations and stuff that you’d think it’d put me in the Christmas spirit but the consensus from my coworkers and I was that we don’t really feel like it’s Christmas lol. Maybe it’s the snow, maybe it’s all the business, who knows. It’s crazy to think that 2018 is just about over and 2019 is right around the corner and then in another year it’ll be 2020, just saying and typing that out feels weird lol. But yeah I don’t got much for y’all right now, other than Merry Christmas, kick back, relax and enjoy today, see y’all later!
