The Path Isn't Always Short n' Sweet (And That's Alright)

Sometimes there are moments that we may doubt ourselves and wonder if we'll ever accomplish our dreams. Here's a little reminder that we shouldn't compare ourselves to other's time frame for success and keep working at goals at our own timing. Only we have the map to our success, and even the seemingly impossible is indeed possible. Case and point: after over ten years in the music industry, Sabrina Carpenter finally hit the jackpot by breaking records worldwide with her smash hit albums Emails I Can't Send (2022) and Short N' Sweet (2024).

As someone who has been a fan of her art from the beginning, it's bittersweet because I always knew that Carpenter could do it. It was just a matter of time until the entire world discovered this as well. At the end of November 2023, Sabrina was barely cracking into the Top 40 on the US radio. Now, this year, she had five songs land on the charts. As of November 2024, she has four simultaneous hits on the radio.

To tell the truth, I cheered just as hard when she was at number forty and when she hit number one. The first achievement, quite literally set the stage for the incredible year Sabrina Carpenter is having. Playing for a sold-out stadium tour, collaborating with her idols, traveling the world, singing on iconic television shows, earning her first six Grammy nominations, and growing her fanbase all happened within the span of a year.

If someone told me at this time last year that Sabrina Carpenter would hit all of these major milestones within the span of a year, I would have thought they were pulling my leg. To be clear, it wouldn't have been because I didn't believe that Carpenter was capable of this (It is very clear that she most certainly is), but rather because it is a rare feat to hit all those major accomplishments within the time frame of a year. This takes me back to my original point. The pathway to success isn't the same for everyone. There are times when we may sit in our rooms at night questioning, who we will become and if we will ever make our dreams a reality. The answer is yes.

When accepting a recognition at the Variety Hitmakers Rising Artist Award Ceremony in December of 2023, Carpenter expressed how she had been told that she was like a tortoise, which initially annoyed her. However, she came to realize the power of this creature because although slow and steady may be frustrating, sometimes that is that is the road that is necessary to take in order to reach the stars. Not everyone's path will be short n' sweet, but that's alright. In that moment, Sabrina Carpenter had no idea how her career was about to skyrocket, but she didn't give up and kept doing what she does best: working late because she is and always will be a phenomenal singer.

OC Valentine's Challenge -> Day 3: No Second Chances Romance

She's back from Earth-2, after making a name for herself over there as The Flash. Jared is on the precipice of starting something with Wally – late night ice creams and stolen kisses in the hallway – and it's amazing as any new thing can be. But when he sees her, a little doubt starts to creep in. Maybe... he's thinking, they ended things too soon, and she's back for a reason...

Jesse pulls him aside, after a few days of skirted encounters and uneasy glances on Jared's part, to talk. They grab their regulars from Jitters, speed up to a city roof, and reminisce. In the sun, with the breeze, without the stressors of a superhero life, they realise one thing: they like each other, they have fun, they feel free to be themselves around each other... but in a way that makes them better off as friends. Not everything has to be some magical, pre-destined, meant-to-be 'thing'.

Sabrina Carpenters songs

We are more than friends but less than a relationship, caught in the delicate in-between where feelings run deep but are never fully acknowledged. There's a silent comfort in our connection, yet an aching emptiness in what we're missing. Our moments together are filled with unspoken words and lingering glances, a bittersweet dance of almost-love. Each laugh and shared secret is tinged with the sadness of knowing we're holding back. We cherish this fragile bond, but the uncertainty leaves us restless and longing for more. The closeness we feel is both a blessing and a curse, a constant reminder of what could be.

I took a 6yo boy to his placement and as soon as I got him situated in the back he saw my SpongeBob driver’s license air freshener hanging on my rearview mirror. He asked if that’s really SpongeBob’s driver’s license and I said yeah it’s real. Then he asked where I got it if SpongeBob’s underwater so I told him I wore a helmet like Sandy and stole it from SpongeBob when he slept, and without missing a beat he goes “That’s identity fraud”
