How do you know when you've found the one?

For some reason relationships have been on my mind a lot lately. I'm not sure why...maybe it's because everywhere I turn around there is a newly blossoming relationship or talk of an old one...OR maybe I'm just ready for my own!

To the love of my life:

So when I first started writing this post I was under the impression that it would about the man of my dreams that I haven't met yet (or maybe I already have and didn't know it). But then it hit me....you should be the love of your life! I mean who should I always be able to depend on? Other than God of course...myself! Now in no way am I saying that I have completely given up hope on finding "him" but while my search continues I will be doing things that strengthen me! Get on the road to doing activities I enjoy. Making myself smile. Being happy on my own. Giving back to those around me. So for right I'm working on being in love with myself. And I until I find someone that can top me (which will be hard, because I treat myself right!) I will be loving me!

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...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

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.*
