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!

Untitled thoughts

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#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

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...
