Shut Up & Take a Bath or Somethin'

I was searching through pinterest today and looking at some of my favorite beauty bloggers and was like "WHY. WHY AM I NOT THEM." Ugh, I was getting kind of irritated at the fact that I'm not some gorgeous beauty blogger who gets paid to make videos and release products or give opinions. I don't make cool vlogs. I don't really know any make up techniques and I buy my clothes from thrift stores.

In the midst of my frustration and irritability I remembered how old I am. Something I think I forget quite often. I am only in college, just out of high school. I have a whole life ahead of me to do things I want to do. I often wonder why I am not married yet, why I don't have a steady income, why I have to take classes I don't want to take, and why I can only afford to eat 80 cent boxes of noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner. And then I remember the one thing I was taught from a very young age age....patience.

WHY DON'T I HAVE PATIENCE.

Well, in this fast paced crazy I want everything now type world, I think patience is a key skill to learn and to obtain.

Sometimes when I am freaking out about why I'm not married with 4 kids and a dog yet, I like to just tell my self to shut up and drink some dr. pepper and maybe watch some New Girl (which btw, in my opinion, is one of the greatest shows on Netflix.) and take a nap. I think some of us, INCLUDING ME, just feel like we have to go go go all the time. BUT WHY. Take some time for yourself. Be patient with

yourself and where you are in life. (and I will strive to be too). Just enjoy the ride and try to make it a little bit better for yourself.

Because in all honesty, it's torturing to question and nag yourself. Like come on, just give yourself a break and take a bubble bath or somethin.

Just some thoughts from inside my crazy head.
