Waves of Life

    So a few months ago my friend asked me if I can move out with her in about a year (maybe a couple months longer). At first, I was not sure. My requirements to move out was to have enough money and a roommate. But the more I thought about it I realized that in a year I will have a job and I should have enough money saved up. Plus my birthday and Christmas are right next to each other so I could ask for appliances and such as gifts. So I agreed because I thought it would be a fun experience to get out into the real world, especially with a friend by my side. We both also have a lot of friends moving to different states and cities or going to a faraway college. We both wanna stay in the city we were raised in and we both plan to do online college. So these were more reasons to move in with her.     I got a little scared. I thought what if I can't afford it? How will I pay for all the things we need? So I called my therapist. She calmed me down and told me she was ex...

    (Disclaimer: In no way, shape, or form am I trying to be vain or cocky).     I think it is safe to say that everyone has felt self conscience about a part of themselves. It could be their nose, stomach, hair, skin, legs, etc. I will admit I have had my fair share of insecurities. My main ones were my side profile and my stomach. For a while I just didn't think I was pretty. I thought this because no guys would DM me or talk to me like they did with my friends. No guys really complimented me either so I thought that it must be the way that I look.     I joked about how guys didn't like me or anything all the time. I tend to joke about the things that make me insecure, sad, scared, etc. I guess it's one of the ways I cope with things. Later I decided that I'm not going to be so insecure about myself and work on feeling more confident. Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!     My trick to making me feel confident was p...

    At the beginning of this school year I was excited to be a senior. I loved the classes I took, I loved my teachers, and I had lots of fun with my friends in school and outside of school (football games were my favorite thing to do on Friday nights). Everything was going smoothly. I never would have imagined what would happen next.     It was my last day at school before I went on my trip to Arizona for a competitive cheer competition. Little did I know that it would be my last day at school ever. I was at the airport when a girl from my team came up to me and told me that our competition was canceled because of the corona virus. I was sad that the competition was canceled, but we still got to go to Arizona with friends from my team, so it was okay.     I was in Arizona when we heard that school has been canceled for 2 weeks. I was excited because well, 2 weeks I got to stay home. Granted we had online school but still. Our trip came to an end. Overall i...
