Wandering Mind

Most people can't tell but internally I'm basically a maniac! Not the delusional type but the worrying type! My mind is always racing, I'm always thinking, I'm always concerned, I'm always self-Conscious, etc. Here's a glimpse into what goes through my mind a day...

1. Body image: How do I look to others. What is their perception of me? Does it really matter? What is my perception of myself? Do I measure up?

2. God: Does he hate me? Why am I always pushing against him? Will I ever be consistent with him? Am I really be called to do what I think I'm being called to do?

3. Being single: Why am I? What do I have to do in order to not be single? Am I ready for that? Is there something wrong with me? There is a huge part of me that hates being alone!

4. Grad school: Am I ready for it? I'm excited for it! But nervous at the same time! Will I be accepted by anyone I want to be accepted by? Will I fit in? Am I making the right decision about what to study?

5. GRE: WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN STUDYING FOR IT? I can't do math! I'm probably going to fail! But I shouldn't think like that! But it's probably true! I haven't even registered for it! Why am I such a sham!?

6. Therapy: Why haven't I looked into going back! I'm scared! I don't know what to expect. I don't know what else I will find! I don't know who else I will find. What if I don't like them? What about other memories?

7. Zeta: Why do people not take it seriously? I'm ready for a grad chapter! What if they don't like me? What if I don't like them? Will I be able to afford it? I really do love my Z Phi B!

8. Church: It was so great to be back in the house of the Lord! Why was I away for so long? What have I missed! What is in store for me there? Will I continue going? I need to!

9. New Job: I can't Trader Joe's anymore! I don't like the things that are happening! I hate feeling under appreciated! I don't mind the work but there is too much pressure and stress! I'm just scared I won't be able to find another job! I pray these other options work out! I would be really grateful!

10. MUSIC: Will I ever play again? I miss it so much! I need it in my life! That's what has been missing! I just need really need music!

11. Family: At times I feel disconnected! I wish we were all closer! I wonder what happened? How does it get fixed?

12. Friends: How many people really like me? Am I good friend? I think I am. But am I really? How do I know? Do people I consider friends consider me as their friends?

13. Books: There are so many books I have started and not finished! There are also a few that I have finished this year? I need to start reading like I used to!

14: Love: What does it really mean to love? Why is it so hard to let go of a love? Do you still love me? If not, why? Do I deserve love?

And yes I pretty much thought of all of this today! There is probably more that I missed but I couldn't remember everything!

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

You Passed

Remember when I said that I was going to be more diligent about posting and keeping everyone updated on what was happening? Yeah, I don't remember that either. As of September 5, 2017, I am officially a PhD Candidate. That means that I sufficiently convinced my three person committee (all women might I add) that I know what I'm talking about and am somehow capable of writing a dissertation. This a HUGE deal. Anyone who has gone through, started or completed any amount of work towards a doctorate knows just how stressful this portion of the program is. There are actually no words that will sufficiently explain how large this achievement is. *As you can tell, this post is LATE. And I do mean late. I've been a candidate for months now. Forgive me.*

You're A Non-Mother F*cking Factor!

For those who don't get the reference in the title, let me introduce to you Evelyn Lozada!  I know 'reality television' is the farthest thing from reality but this is by far one of my favorite 'reality' TV moments. It summed up her thoughts and feelings so concisely . It was a perpetual mood that I aspired to for a long time. I know the next question any logical person would pose is, why? Why would this be a perpetual mood I wanted to attain? For years I have lived in my head, afraid of my own voice and sharing my thoughts and opinions. I envied those that could "pop off" and voice their voice. I wanted to be able to say what I needed to say, how I wanted to say it, and without remorse. As I've continued to grow, I have learned that this attitude is not what communication is about. Being able to dismiss everyone around you and say everything the way you want to say it is not effective.  "Cussing everyone out is not self care...
