Chips Jobs

Sunday candids

Friday the 13th

 Friday the 13th of October

Spent the day resting and watched true crime all day, even listened to but didn't finish an episode of sword and scale nightmares.  Spooky day. I'm finally feeling better, more like myself and less Covidy. I knew I would get it pretty bad since I have an autoimmune disease, alopecia areata. For dinner tonight, I had a poblano pepper corn chowder soup. I threw in a mini everything bagel to act as the bread for a soup and bread combo. I love the two together, soup and sourdough is the best though. Anyways, soup is my new thing, ever since I got sick. Let's see if I continue to eat soup once I fully recover from covid.

lately

  I'm starting to find inner peace within myself

it's so hard to not constantly compare your life with 

someone else

social media has made the idea of the grass is always greener

more of a lifestyle and has tossed the idea of solitude and routine 

to the side

I'm grateful for my life, my family, friends, and for my job

I don't have to be "this" to get validation for strangers

I need my own validation

There is no competition, there's room for everyone

I'm finally okay with that. I'm finally content with my life.

I have dreams and hope for the future. Just remember to stay on your

own path and try not to compare your life to someone else's; as hard as it is.

getting older

Might be exposing myself here but I don't have anything to lose. 

Getting older is a privilege, it's supposed to be celebrated, not something to be ashamed of.

Why am i feeling like this? Do I have nothing to show?

How did 10 years pass by so quickly? 

When I was 10, I told my mom I never wanted to grow up. At 19, I wrote in my journal that I felt like I was retired already. At 23 when I finished college, I felt like I was retired again. Now at 35, I feel like I'm old and the clock is ticking for me to have a baby. I thought I would've had one by now, I thought I would have insurance, I thought I wouldn't have to have a roommate, I thought I would be thriving in a career. See what happens when I think?  Not such a good idea. Everything and everywhere is so expensive and time is money. I want to find something that fulfills me and my bank account. I wish that being a good person was a form of currency. I always try my best at work and while interacting with other people.  I'm at a point in my life where I just don't know what would make me happy. Something that was once interesting and what I thought was cool-job wise, after a while starts to feel like actual work and something forced. I'm not sure where I'm going with this rant but I don't know about anything anymore. 

Reflections

I got Chips a cooling jacket to wear during the summer. He didn't mind it at all. He hates water, so I for sure thought he would try to remove it by brushing up on a wall or something. Chips is a slow walker so I usually lead the way on the walks.
