Courage

I was doing what I do best (blog surfing... pathetic I realize) and I happened upon this blog
Be Different... Act Normal. And I found this video about life, venerability and courage. This women, Brene Brown, has spent years researching people and the way they live to come to this conclusion. I know that it is long (about 20 minuets) but if you do have the time please watch it.  I know that when you watch this you may think "I already knew this" or "Ya ya... it isn't that simple" but I say to you, maybe it is that simple.
To just stop.
To love deeper.
To start today to let the world know the real you, all the imperfections and scars.

I don't talk from experience but I say this as someone who is struggling to find out who I am. To let myself be seen. To breakdown those walls and let others in. It is hard. I'm not really sure how to do it but I'm going to keep trying. I know that now at this moment, I have a better understanding of myself. I can look into my life and say "Yeah, I see it. I can fix that." I have courage.

Life... and other news

So if you haven't noticed I have been having a rough time having any motivation to blog. I go in spurts it seems like. One month I'm on fire and the next I have nothing interesting to write about. I have been overwhelmed lately with school, work, money and life. This has been a rough semester so far in terms of scheduling. I have work everyday, some days 10 hours a day, and trying to fit in school has got me a little stressed. But I am doing better this week in controlling what I can control and letting the rest go.

In other news, one of the greatest little stores in Rexburg call Panache is having a great giveaway on their blog! Isn't this necklace just cute as can be?! Panache is a fabulous place to shop. They get shipments in multiple times a week and their prices are just perfect for the college student's budget!
