#i wish to consume alllll the media

[aengelren]

life after seeing people start waking up and stop idolizing elitism and celebrity culture, feeding their pockets while the working class and third world countries suffer..is the human revolution near?

[murasaki-sama]

Me: Nah, I don’t have a hyper fixation or a life long fandom.

My friend: *starts watching her first ever Addams Family media*

Me: *slides up alongside.* Well, hello there. May I interest in you several incoherent rants about the history, characters, themes, glory and influences of the most glorious Addams Family?

Sweetest, Biggest Fan

This will literally waste your time so...you’ve been warned.

Just based off of this picrew (mine is last) because it gave me crazy Bakugou fan vibes. I’m not going to wait because it will end up like the other things and never see the light of day so apologies if there’s editing mishaps. I know it’s Feb but new year new me!

Words: 1.2K

Warnings: This plays with the Yandere theme so keep that in mind. No smut, no “kinks” of mine, just a random post that I already warned you about ,but see you are refusing to listen and need to learn for yourself...

Honestly it’s just me being a menace writing about a menace...Also this didn’t paste how I wanted so... enjoy 😉

Begin Scene 👏🏾

Anyone else would have simply turned off the television. Or maybe pause and squeal with joy that the real life Dynamight was going to be in the same neighborhood at such close vicinity. Hell they might even call up their friends to start planning a meet up at the location. But fuck that - you weren't just anyone. What would be nothing to anyone else sent anger pulsing through your veins, but who could blame you? You were his biggest fan. When you saw the interview with that wretched bakeshop owner a few blocks away on the news stating that Bakugou Katsuki “Lord Undercut” Explosion Murder (and greatest hero in your mind) would be gracing them with his presence you were almost happy. Almost. But that damn woman with her damn rosy cheeked smile seemed soooo thrilled that her rank little shop had been damaged by him during a villain pursuit. So thrilled because the incident caused the agency to force Bakugou to make an appearance once they reopened to get business back up and running. You remember her lips stretching ear to ear sharing that she would make him the best dessert he had ever tasted. 

You scoffed. She was so annoyingly enthusiastic, but he didn't even like sweets! Pathetic. Of course you weren’t surprised, not everyone knew him like you did. The poor girl was just stupid is all but it still pissed you off. You weren’t jealous you just knew he didn't want to subject himself to wasting his time because you knew him. She wasn't even his type! How could she be? She wasn't you. You wanted to wipe that little smile off of her face and knew just the way to do it. It was an efficient way to kill two birds with one stone honestly. Save him from wasting time and save her from the embarrassment. Heh maybe she would be calling you a hero afterwards, but there wouldn’t be a chance for her to get the words out. Unfortunately she wouldn’t have a chance to see him take his first bite.

You even got a little cute beforehand juuuust in case you happened to run into him. You were always prepared to see him. A turtle neck here, a pair of ass blessing leggings there and voila! Oh..and your spiked brass knuckles - a cute accessory and essential for handling your business at the bakery. 

It was late - surely no one would hear you. The neighborhood wasn’t that great, so the chances that someone would notice the sound of glass breaking when you took your metal bat to it was little to none. You didn’t mean to make such a rude entrance, it’s that bitch’s fault for locking the door! Honestly you didn’t have time to feel bad. You stepped into the shop, music still playing probably because she was either too excited to remember or she was still oddly in the shop. You didn’t care. You hopped over the counter, not even caring about the cupcake display you knocked over, it was probably stale anyway. If she was really a fan she would have made a fresh display for him, but no she didn’t and that’s why you couldn’t allow him to waste time on scrubs like her. Honestly the things you do for that man.

You made your way to the kitchen where you couldn't decide if it was heaven or hell. All of those (albeit delicious) delicacies on any other day would have called your name, but today you only thought about how people would be lining up in a matter of hours to have the chance to see him - YOUR idol dammit. The thought made you grab the nearest tart and  throw it against the wall. Ooh - that was therapeutic. You ripped the plastic off of the tray of cupcakes grasping one in each hand as you closed them within your fist feeling the cream filled dessert squish between your fingers. “Red velvet” you questioned as you sniffed the air - not bad. You slammed down palms first onto the table flattening two more as a jelly bursted out onto the table meeting their doom. Taking hold of a few cookies you crushed them together and twisted, making them crumble in your hand. The cakes at the other end? They tasted the ground as you swiped your arm shoving each one off the surface. The last thing it saw was the bottom of your boot as your shoe came down, filling the grooves of your sole with fudge icing and cake. After a quick game of hopscotch you took a break from stomping all over her precious time and continued your search.

There was a door in the back that was slightly cracked. That has to be it! You printed the floor with your icing covered footsteps, closer and closer until you reached the room and slowly pushed the door open further. 

Jackpot. 

You just knew the precious little thing wouldn’t leave the bakery. Back in the corner, sweating alllll that time before you figured out the hiding spot. Little shit probably knew what was coming. You were staring directly into the very thing that would cause your precious Dynamight so much trouble tomorrow.You were quick in getting close landing a nice swift kick from the side; you couldn’t wait to knock that bitch off the pedestal the media had delicately given up. You didn’t want to stop kicking but you wanted to get more personal. You looked down and took it all in, broken, leaking red on the floor admiring your work before you got on your knees and put those brass knuckles to use. It was almost too easy the way the spikes punctured through causing the dark rouge color to splatter all over your face. It was cold once it hit your face and dripped down your cheek. “Take that” as you landed another spiked smash. 

You were breathing heavily reviewing your work. Shattered and painting the walls it looked so pretty, so...tasty. You knew you had to leave soon but couldn’t help yourself as you took two fingers and swiped them across the red liquid bringing it to your tongue letting your taste buds relish in the moment. “Mmmmm”, tangy yet sweet, a delicious mixture of flavors coming from the cherry filling even after being battered into almost nothing. You almost felt bad for what you did - it wasn’t too sweet, he actually might’ve liked it. Still, you got up and made your way back to the front of the store reviewing your work as you strutted towards the window. People would surely be showing up early to see him, so you had to run home to make sure you were ready. He’s going to be so relieved! Maybe he’ll take you on a private trip to show his gratitude. You had saved him. You felt the crunch of the glass and looked back one more time. What would she think? Poor girl just had her bakery repaired... “Oh well”, you thought, “sorry it didn’t work out it’s just...I’m his biggest fan ya know? No hard feelings.” A toothy grin consumed your face as you hopped outside and waltzed your way home licking the cherry goodness off your lips wishing it was caramel instead.

I appolgize in advance for this long ass post haha.

Alright, so here's the deal. This post is gonna be part rant, part confessional, and part inspirational speech. So if your following this blog purely for the updates on my books you can skip it haha.

I know a currently published author. I used to kinda be friends with them in highschool, but it was more like a friend of a friend type deal. But I digress. Point is. They recently released there second book on Amazon. And I really wanna be happy and proud of them, and to see it as an inspirational thing, buuuuut I'm almost 100 sure they are actually a fraud?

And that's not me being bitter. I really really really wish this wasn't the case. But I have the evidence to back this theory up.

1- they claimed that there first book sold out multiple times. And to be fair this one might be at least partially true. Its rated pretty high on amazon, But then again they only have 4 people rate it and three of those people are the editor formattor and artist for the book. Soooo. Yeah I sure hope they rated it well.

2- they are constantly posting stories to there social media that are far fetched at best. They work in a bookstore. And almost every other week its a slightly diffrent story about a customer who "didn't even know" he was the author who would "burst into tears" the second he told them what the book was about because they were just Soooo touched by the message that they wept to a total stranger??? If that had happened even once it would have been an odd occurance. And this is something that apparently happens alllll the time to them. (I hate to drudge up old memes like this, but)

3- this person has recently made a tick tock and a youtube channel. And like, the content isssss questionable? And that's not necessarily a crime or anything. But they give updates about it on social media as if they are speaking to a mass of adoring fans and like...you can see how many subs and views a person has. We know he dosn't have a big fan base. And I know that sounds harsh. But like, some more gullible people have asked him for advise on how to be "successful" and "gain a following", and he answers them with authority. Like he has the answers even though he clearly dosn't? And that feels really... disingenuous at best?

4- along the same vein as 3. They recently made a post on twitter about how they are "overwhelmed by the amount of love and support they have found on the site" and how they get "some many heartfelt messages." Annnd again. I clicked the account. They literally have 5 followers. And not a SINGLE person has EVER liked, retweeted, or commented on a SINGLE tweet of theirs. Not one. Soooo like not only are you pretending to have a huge fan base that dosn't exist your also making up there engagement with you? Which this alone I feel brings validate to my doubts about the other things. Clearly they arn't above blatant lying and extreme over exaggeration. And also they either don't realize we can all seeeee these facts. Or they don't think anyone will actually check and call them on it ?????

Now there's a lot of other examples I could give. But my point isn't to put this ONE person on blast. I'm not trying to start beef or cause damage to their reputation or anything. Which is why I won't say their name or what there books are. The only way you'd know who I'm talking is if you also knew them in real life. In which case you either already know all this, or you should, so you don't fall victim to their lies.

The reason I'm saying any of this at all is because I think I know why they are doing it. And why so many indie authors or would be media mogels feel the need to do this.

The issue with trying to "build an audience" and "self market" yourself, is that you really only have 2 ways of guaranteed sucess.

You either need to have a pre established audience based on success you've already had in the past. (IE youtubers and movie stars writing successful books cause there fans will buy anything of there's reguardless.)

Or you need to buy your way in. Be it by quitting your day job to make social media your full time job, buying ads, hiring a social media person,or hiring a team of people with their own audiences (audio book narrators, cover artists, managers, ect)

And if you don't ALREADY have an audience, and you don't have the funds to BUY your way in, then your just gonna have to get real lucky.

You can be lucky for knowing somebody with an "in". They work in publishing, or advertising, or they're your rich uncle. Just someone who you can go to to get that boost one way or another to get one of the first two methods going for you.

You can get lucky by commenting the right thing on the right post and gaining followers that way. Or by being in the right place at the right time to meet somebody important.

You can be lucky by having lots of supportive friends and family who will promote you and your work FOR you.

Or lastly (and this is in the realm of being a one in a million case here. So it basically never happens without one of the other things I mentioned also being true.)

You can be lucky by working REALLY hard, and being REALLY talented, and having the world actually NOTICE YOU somehow? Just one person with influence who can find you in your dark hole of insignificance and shine a light on you so now the world can actually seee you.

And that sucks.

You could write the greatest book in the whole world. Truly a masterpiece. But if nobody buys it or reads it because they don't know who you are??? Then it dosen't matter does it?

It sucks Soooo hard.

Because untill you get those people with influence to shine a light on you, theres nothing you can do. And the market is soooooo drenched in new indie authors that the odds of the right people finding and liking your book are slim to none.

Its super unfair.

The people who have the influence arn't gonna buy a book with 0 reviews and no social media following.

Why? Because THEIR brand depends on only recommending the good shit. And they need to find that good shit NOW. If they read every book written by nobody's online, they'd have to wade through ALOT of garbage. wasting all their valuable time and money till they found something worthy. And honestly, from a business stand point, you cant really fault them for that

This is where the lies come from.

So basically no matter how you look at it, or what your strategy is, In order to get fans, you need to ALREADY HAVE THEM.

When your just starting out. And I mean truly at square one. It really feels like the only way to "make it" is to "fake it"

If you PRETEND to have a big following. And you PRETEND your books are selling really well already. And you PRETEND that people care deeply about you and your work... Then there is a chance that nobody will do the homework to find out its all a lie.

And if they think your successful already, then it sends a message to the consumers brains of "well they must be good. Everybody loves it/them".

It sucks that so many people who have found real success did so with lies, cash, and being already well connected.

And then they buy it, and they follow you, and the confirmation bias sets in, and eventually you'll dupe enough people into liking you that you don't HAVE to lie anymore.

Those of us with no cash and too high a conscious to lie our way to the top are left with virtually no chance of succeeding no matter how hard we work or how good our content is.

And I'm not claiming to be "better than" or "more worthy" than anyone else. I wanna make it clear that of your in the portion of having it fake it so you can follow your dreams then more power to you. Its a valid strategy. I hate that it works and I hate that its the only option sometimes. But I don't hate the people as creators for "doing what it takes." I get it. Really I do.

And it suckks major ass that so many people feel like this is the only way.

My whole point here. Is that we have slowly built a system where this is our reality. And honestly? End of the day? There's not a damn thing we can do to change it at this point.

In a perfect world made of unicorns and puppies. I could say "hey lets all go ready books by completely unknown authors. Be the change you wanna see in the world." But at the end of the day, especially in the unfiltered world of self publishing, It would be a complete shot in the dark to spend your resources on something completely unknown. We rely on word of mouth, and "best sellers" and high following to do the work of filtering out the bad stuff for us and it would be unrealistic if not impossible to go back on it now. Even if we wanted to there algorithms and shit built into the code. You'll never find the books that Amazon dosnt want you to find unless you search for it directly.

Now comes the confession/inspirational bit

I know all of the above to be true...But I'm choosing not to care

I'm not gonna lie my way to the top. I'm not gonna hide my struggles out of fear of seeming inferior. So here goes

I struggle a lot with depression and anxiety. I've been working on it, and I've gotten so much better in recent years. But there are always gonna be times when I slip up and my mental illnesses take over

When I was writing my first book I felt really empowered and good about myself for finally getting past all my own barriers and following my dreams.

And then once I was done writting and editing and I was ready to show the world and get feedback. I flopped.

I couldn't find anyone willing to beta read. Those who said they would do it (even people who claimed they "couldn't wait") ghosted me after I actually sent it to them

I was hoping to get 20 people. I really wanted it to be the best it could be. Only 11 actully signed up. Of that 11, 5 people actually read it: My spouse, my brother, my best friend, and 2 others. Those two others read the first bit I sent them, took a few weeks to get back to me, said they loved it, but then Neeeeeeeeever got back to me when I sent them the next chunk.

Now you can look at all that and come to the conclusion that it sucks. I know I sure did.

The struggles at each step made me doubt myself more and more to the point that I almost gave up writing all together.

And I didn't want to take about it or how it was making me feel, even though it was having a serious impact on me. I wanted to bottle it all up and let it consume me. Allllll because I didn't want people online to write me off as a failure before even giving me the chance.

I wasn't lying about being successful. I was just trying to hide the fact that I wasn't.

And that's almost as bad. Because then all the new authors just feel worse about themselves and their journey because they think they are the only ones.

Your not alone.

Everyone is struggling.

We just aren't talking about it.

I haven't written a word in over a week because I've been so afraid my second book will be dead on arrival like my first.

And I KNOW somewhere out there is someone just like me whose thinking of giving up.

Don't.

Just keep going.

Do your best. And then come find another struggling writer and share with each other. The world outside might not understand your struggle. But another author might.

We can't change the market. We can't change the way social media works, or how people decide if they will buy things

But what we CAN change, is whether those of us within the community want to be honest about our struggles and frustrations. Or if we want to hide them away and lie about them for the sake of making more sales

I think by being honest with one another we can create a better network.

That way the next time you feel like garbage for not being an "instant celebrity" like everyone else. you can look at the community and realize that you were never the problem

If we just keep making new writing friends our collective reach will eventually take hold in the outside world. Don't wait for a random influencer to notice you. Just make one friend at a time. Be known amongst your peers and maybe the rest will follow

And if your a writer desperate for feedback, or just a friend to share your troubles with. Hit me up. My inbox is always open.

20 Issues I Discovered in my Twenties

Breaking News Today -

Good morning, guys! It’s my THIRTIETH birthday immediately (wow I really feel previous simply saying that!). I can hardly consider that I used to be simply 20 years previous once I began this weblog. That’s ten years of sharing my life with you guys. In these previous ten years, I graduated from faculty, received my first massive woman job, met my husband, moved 5 completely different instances, began running a blog full-time, received married, received a canine, purchased a home, and in addition grew up. I skilled excessive pleasure (like on my wedding ceremony day) and excessive loss and grief (when my husband misplaced his mother and father). However one factor has remained fixed, and that’s the assist and love I obtain from you guys each day. I’m so grateful in your friendship, recommendation and sort phrases all through the years. Let’s be sincere, there’s no means I might nonetheless be running a blog immediately with out your assist.

At the moment I needed to share some issues that I’ve discovered in my twenties. Some had been onerous classes, and so they took me up till 12 months 29 to be taught! I’m pleased with myself for a way far I’ve come – I can nonetheless see myself as a naive twenty-year previous typing her very first weblog submit whereas sitting on her twin mattress in her sorority home. Clearly, I nonetheless have room to develop, and I by no means wish to cease rising and studying. Hopefully once I flip 40 I’ll have an entire new weblog submit for you.

1. God all the time has a plan, even when you possibly can’t see it.

There have been loads of instances the place I questioned God’s plan for my life. As an example, once I was rejected from my dream job after faculty. Or when Chris and I broke up after a 12 months of courting. I had no concept that the toughest instances in my life would result in even higher issues that God had in retailer for me. As an example, once I was rejected from my dream job, I ended up taking a job in Greenville, S.C, the place I met Chris. After we broke up, I used to be heartbroken, however put alllll of that vitality into my weblog, day after day, till I used to be in a position to get it off the bottom. And the breakup was truly nice for mine and Chris’s relationship, as a result of we each appreciated one another a lot extra once we received again collectively. Each of these issues result in the place I’m immediately. These are small examples; there are loads extra I may offer you of how God’s plan was greater than my very own.

2. Wash Your Make-up Off at Evening

Gosh such a easy one, however I actually want my faculty self had taken my very own recommendation! And on that notice, spend money on skincare routine. Your pores and skin will thanks years down the street.

3. Good friend breakups are onerous, however generally needed

I didn’t have a single “pal breakup” till my twenties. In my twenties I encountered some individuals I believed had been true mates, even greatest mates, however didn’t have my greatest curiosity at coronary heart. Good friend breakups are powerful – the grief lasts deeper and longer than grieving over an ex-boyfriend. However you’ll be happier with out somebody inflicting negativity in your life. I can have a look at the place I’m now and see how a lot happier I’m with out sure individuals making me really feel unhealthy or inflicting drama.

4. Well being is about stability

In my early twenties, I tended to be a bit obsessive over my well being. I might observe each calorie I ate, all the way down to a stick of gum, and obsess over exercising on daily basis. I could have seemed wholesome, however inside I used to be the other. It wasn’t till my mid-twenties that I found intuitive consuming. Once you hearken to your starvation cues, your physique will TELL YOU when it’s hungry and when it’s had sufficient to eat. And one thing much more superb occurs whenever you begin consuming actual, complete meals and minimize out the processed crap: your physique merely is aware of what to do. I’ve been in a position to keep at the very same weight for the previous a number of years with out serious about it in any respect. I really feel superb. And I nonetheless take pleasure in treats infrequently (particularly on trip!) with out considering twice about it, or feeling “responsible” afterward.

5. A Canine actually could be your greatest pal

I made the choice to get a canine once I was 26, though some members of the family and mates warned that I wasn’t prepared. They cautioned that I traveled quite a bit, and I could not be capable to deal with the accountability of a canine. Even Chris was in opposition to it! However, alas, solely you realize whenever you’re prepared for a canine, and I felt prepared. And it was the most effective selections I ever made. I’m actually scared to have children trigger I don’t understand how I’ll be capable to love them greater than Winnie! (haha) Seeing that little ball of fluff together with her wagging tail places the most important smile on my face at any time when I stroll within the door. Within the mornings, I like to observe Good Morning America in mattress, and Winnie crawls below the covers in between my legs – I swear I really feel happiest proper in that second! She is really my greatest pal. I inform her every part, and generally I swear she talks again. Since we don’t have children but, she is our child. And sure, Chris did come round – the very first day I introduced her house, he was as smitten together with her as I used to be.

6. It feels good to face up for your self

I used to be extremely shy rising up. I used to be all the time the quiet one within the college, and I usually let others stroll throughout me. Not anymore! I began studying that I had a voice in faculty, and since then it has grown stronger. And let me be sincere with you guys – whenever you do begin standing up for your self, it feels superb. Particularly if somebody is attempting to reap the benefits of you. Don’t allow them to! You might be WORTH IT.

7. Evaluating Your self to others is the quickest strategy to really feel anxious and unfulfilled

It takes follow and self-love to have the ability to rejoice others’ success, particularly when issues aren’t going the way in which you need in your personal life. I’ve discovered to cease evaluating myself to others (particularly different ladies on Instagram). We’re all on our personal journeys. For those who really feel down on your self, get up within the morning and write three issues that you just’re grateful for.

8. Crucial issues in life aren’t issues, they’re individuals

The running a blog trade is a bit irritating generally, as a result of it’s so materialistic. Persons are judged on their success by how massive their homes are and how much automobiles they drive. It didn’t take me very lengthy to determine that materials issues aren’t the important thing to true happiness. Once you die and go to Heaven, you possibly can’t take all of your issues with you!

9. You Can by no means please everybody

If there’s one factor running a blog has taught me, it’s this! It doesn’t matter what I do or say, how I costume, or what I consider in, I can’t and can by no means please everybody. I’ve discovered to cease worrying a lot about what others suppose. I submit about what I really like and consider, and if somebody doesn’t prefer it, then they’ll unfollow. I’ve additionally constructed up an extremely thick pores and skin by running a blog. Once you select to dwell your life on social media, you’ll inevitably obtain judgement and criticism from others. I’ve realized that more often than not, when somebody is absolutely merciless, it’s as a result of they’re sad with their very own life.

10. Exhibiting emotion (and crying) is okay

I cry in all probability each different day. I’m a delicate individual… generally I cry at commercials, different instances I cry simply serious about how a lot I really like my household and canine. I was ashamed to cry in entrance of others, however I’ve come to comprehend that it’s simply who I’m! I feel it takes a stronger individual to indicate vulnerability than to carry all of it in. I might a lot quite really feel feelings, and really feel them deeply, than not really feel in any respect.

11. Instagram is a lie

Instagram is really a spotlight reel of everybody’s life. It’s not actual life. An individual could select to share the easiest elements of their life (together with me), however there may be a lot happening behind the scenes that you just don’t find out about. I do know that I personally solely select to share a fraction of my life with the general public. There’s a lot happening and a lot that I’m feeling that I don’t share. Remind your self of that the subsequent time you see somebody’s “excellent life” on Instagram.

12. You possibly can change your life if you wish to

It all the time bugs me when individuals inform me that they’re sad with their lives. They’re sad with their home, their job, their physique, and so on. Properly, change it then! For those who’re sad with your home, then transfer. Or repair it up – paint is cheap and may remodel a room. For those who don’t like your job, discover a new one. Or work onerous and begin your personal enterprise. Sad along with your physique? Begin consuming more healthy and shifting extra. I’m a really sturdy believer than you (together with God ) management your personal happiness and your future.

13. Put on sunscreen

I REALLY want I had taken this recommendation in my early twenties. I by no means wore sunscreen, particularly on my face, considering that basis was sufficient to guard me from the solar. Now I can begin to see the results of that, with wrinkles and solar spots. Now I placed on sunscreen each single morning.

14. Drink water and ditch the weight-reduction plan drinks

Once I was in my early twenties, I hated the style of water. Significantly! I most popular Food regimen Coke, and I NEVER drank water. However this behavior led me to be hospitalized for kidney stones. It wasn’t till the previous couple of years that I spotted how superb water is, and now it’s just about the one factor I drink. Once I do drink extra water, I can see a serious distinction in my pores and skin and even my focus ranges. AND I spotted how unhealthy weight-reduction plan soda was for me and ditched it altogether – it’s full of chemical compounds and aspartame, which has critical well being dangers.

15. Ladies can Kick Butt

Anybody who actually is aware of me, is aware of I’m a feminist at coronary heart. I feel it’s ridiculous that some males are scared of ladies who make more cash than them or are extra profitable! That is 2020 you guys! In case you are a lady, go after your goals. Ask for that increase. It’s not okay for a person in your identical place to be making greater than you. Ladies actually are superb – we’re emotional, caring, have infants and lift kids, and are badass within the office, too.

16. It’s okay to have nervousness – and go on medicine for it

In my twenties, I suffered from among the worst nervousness I’ve ever had in my life. Panic assaults, days the place I didn’t wish to get away from bed, and so on. There are such a lot of of us in the identical boat, and it actually helps for us all to speak about it. I opened as much as Chris and my mother and father, and so they each inspired me to speak to my physician. I did, and was prescribed Lexapro for nervousness. It modified my life. You possibly can learn extra about my psychological well being journey right here.

17. Schooling Doesn’t At all times Come from the Classroom

I discovered quite a bit at school, particularly in faculty, however most of my studying has come from the true world. As in, after faculty. From work experiences, residing alone in an condo and paying payments, relationship experiences, and touring. And on that notice, I feel journey is the quickest strategy to broaden your thoughts. I’ve regretted many purchases, however I’ve by no means regretted a single journey I’ve taken.

18. Getting pregnant isn’t straightforward.

I all the time thought that the minute we determined we had been prepared for a kid, BOOM! It might occur immediately. Properly, my mates, I used to be mistaken. We have now been attempting to conceive since early final 12 months. It has been a tough journey, and one which may be very lonely – not many individuals perceive except they’ve been by it. You probably have a pal struggling to conceive, attain out to them and inform them you’re considering of them!

19. Marriage is gorgeous, however it’s onerous work.

I all the time thought that when you bought married, it was all roses and butterflies from there. Don’t get me incorrect, I completely LOVE being married to Chris. However marriage, like every relationship, requires work and dedication, and compromise. It’s really superb what occurs whenever you do put within the work, although. You uncover a belief and loyalty in direction of your associate that’s deeper than something you’ve ever identified. And I really feel like I actually perceive the phrase my different half, now. Chris appears like aside of myself.

20. At all times be variety

You by no means know what another person goes by. Kindness and compassion is all the time the reply.

As all the time, thanks, thanks, thanks from the underside of my coronary heart to everybody who comes again to my weblog day after day. I’m really grateful for you all. xoxo
