Love for UNIS

A lot of people keep asking me, "How do you hang out with the people from your high school in college?" It's pretty simple. My high school was special and some people just don't appreciate their high schools as much as I did. On top of that, I'm getting to know people. I didn't know many of them before. It's a good feeling knowing that these people have the same-ish background as me. We all have the same values, principles and open-mindedness. That's enough for me to respect them and want to be around them. So, next time you ask one of us that, try to keep in mind that many of us didn't know each other before. If you vibe with someone, you just do and there is really nothing else to it. There's no other way to explain it but I'll make it brief: Because of them, I will always have a little piece of home with me. 

Don't devote all your time to someone who doesn't want to devote any time to you.

It's All Good

I guess it's about being completely vulnerable. And being okay with it. And knowing that because of this vulnerability, there will be a lot of pit falls and lots of failed-to-be-met expectations. You just need to know that it's worth it in the end. You just need to know that those expectations are nothing but that--expectations. You should never be led by high expectations because the problem is that when they are not met, they crush you. And I now know that that was my problem. And I'm okay with that. I guess it's hard to admit that you never really stop learning. It's a never-ending process and there's no way to really know if you've ever progressed or reached the end of something. It's impossible to know what the best of the best is. And that's when everything goes to shit. That's when you can't stop thinking about how it could be better...can't ever stop wishing for what you can't have at the moment. And then the impatience gets overwhelming...and at some point nothing is really good enough for you anymore. And this is all just because the expectations have not been met. Now, I'll look back and know that I did the best that I could've done and if I had to go back and change something, I wouldn't at all. Because if I am always thinking about how I can change something, then it will never do that exactly: change. So I guess I am admitting that I fucked up a beautiful thing...something that could've blossomed into something amazing in the right time. And I'm finally okay with that. I'm okay with the fact that no matter how hard I tried, maybe it just wasn't enough in the moment. But one day it will be. And I hope for the best. I hope with all my heart that I've learned.

It's just such a relieving feeling...knowing that I can now look back and know that I did everything that I could've done...that I fought when I should've...that I was happy when I should've been. And that's a truly amazing feeling. Only instills wonder and optimism for the future.

Stay high all the time to keep you off my mind

So recently I've really been thinking about what I want to make out of these next three years academically. The good news is that I've finally decided on a career that I truly look forward to. Initially, I thought I would be going down the traditional path of a psycholology major, open up my own practice and provide therapy. But lately, I was listening to someone talk about how their psychologist had completely ruined their day...had made them feel insufficient. I thought about and I realized that I didn't want to be that person. I didn't want to be the person who could make another person feel small. And although I know that I will always mean well, I know that it can be easy to judge. So, I've decided on taking on Life Coaching. Too excited for this. :)
