Hey guys... It’s been a while. Life is changing and we’re all growing up and starting new things. That’s why I want to introduce a new project of mine that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. It’s called... Tiger Lily Diary. I would love it if you followed me on social media: Twitter and Instagram. I strive to make my blog an inclusive spot where I can talk about anything that I or my readers want. If there is anything you guys want me to talk about, please message me! My latest blog post can be found here. I would love it if you guys read it and shared it!

A year in the making.

So the piece of shit I am, I haven’t updated this is a very long time, and for that I am so sorry to those who read these (like 5 of you)

This blog has been alive for maybe 9 months out of the almost 12 (wow).

For those of you who have followed along, we’ve embarked on many of an adventure. From crazy dates and weird run ins, it train adventures to and from work, and so on.

We’re gone through it all. And now it’s time for a new adventure - leaving LI and moving to NYC. And before you ask, yes, I am absolutely terrified.

Who wouldn’t be?

Ya girl is five feet tall, the upper body strength of a ramen noodle, and the adjustment process has been a lot harder than I expected.

I know a lot of these posts have seemed to be more whiny than encouraging. So let me be absolutely clear about my intentions. I started this blog after listing to thechampagnediet’s podcast Style Your Mind - where best selling author, Cara Alwil Leyba, talked about her mission with her blog of thechampagendiet- putting her voice out there so that maybe people who felt like her, knew they weren’t alone. And I just want others who may be in a similar situation to me to know they aren’t alone either

When I got here, let’s face it, I was alone. Not in a “wow poor me i’m alone” more like I put myself in a crazy situation that the risk was worth the reward - and it was and still is. I thrived for it. And I never realized that being from that small town with a small circle to a huge city with huge rewards would do. I spent my entire existence proving people wrong. The camp counselor when I was 10 telling me that I’d never amount to anything - so I helped start very very small companies that grew (shoutout to crowned4success!); to boys who called me ugly - that glow up though; to “friends” who told me that they influenced everything on campus and to “stand down” so I became the freaking voice of the student body and graduated with two degrees. I was the first in my family to graduate high school on time, to go and graduate college, and to actually freaking leave the small town I grew up in. I had my step mother tell me I was (quote) “fucking crazy” for moving to New York alone and within a week. I have my retail job tell me on my last day that (quote)”if it doesn’t work out, [I] can come back with my tail between [my] legs and have [my] job back - not questions asked.”

No matter how hard I worked and dug my heels into the ground to succeed, it’s like I always had a voice telling me I’m probably not going to do it and it’s okay to fail.

I damn well know that it’s okay to fail. 

I love failing. 

I’m a weird masochist where I love negative feedback because it shows me where to improve. I love being told I can’t do it because I want to prove people wrong. I want to be the girl who is irreplaceable and can be an asset to any operation. It’s a freaking tall order - and believe me, I’ve lost a lot of friends who have taken that trait are selfishness and arrogance and thinking I’m better than anyone else. But, if people really knew me, they’d also know that I think I’m the shittiest person alive. 

The adjustment process here was rough. I never thought of how lucky I was to be surrounded with the same people year after year growing that tight group of friends. But it’s a strange time to come home to a bunch of people in your apartment and have your friends have keys to your apartment to coming home to your cat. And I may have fucked up first impressions by trying much too hard to get people to like me, and that’s 100% on me - I messed up and know that. 

What I went through is called imposture syndrome. It’s where you look to other people so much and commonly say “I wish I did that”, “I wish I looked like that”, “why can’t I be like them.” it’s dangerous and toxic. Here’s the thing about poison: if you eat it, you die. So why feed yourself toxic thoughts. I spent a lot of my time here as, sorry, I spent every moment up until this point thinking those things and it’s almost obnoxious to think about. I put a lot of pressure on myself to not fail that i failed in the ways I didn’t plan for - being a normal person.

So, here is the point of this post:

I’m done trying to fit this mold that I unknowingly made myself. I’m done thinking I’m the issue (maybe I am in some cases and that’s ok because not everyone has to like me - which I’m also okay with). Lastly, I will continue to own who I am, where I came from, what has happened to me to push me to where I need to go, and treat myself how I treat others to how I want them to treat me. Red lipstick and all.

It took a damn year (and a name change!!!) but she’s back kids.

xxK

Hello lovelies... Are you heading into this Monday needing a little push of strength? We all do at times. Stand strong in yourself and know that God always has your back.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! . . @womenoffaith @women_of_prayer @thechampagnediet @motivation_mondays @getfaithbox . . #monday #godsgrace #mondaymotivation #findingyourpath #movingforward #faith #beyou #glowinfaith ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸✝️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPjtUIAWe1/?igshid=4f5spqqs1t0o
