SO IT'S BEEN, LIKE, TWO MONTHS

Hey everyone!
When I started this blog a year ago, it was because I wanted to be the next Bri Emery. Yeah, I know - That bar is PRETTY HIGHLY SET. (But it's still a dream I am working towards.) But y'all, blogging is some seriously hard work. Hard work that I don't have the time for like I have always dreamed I would. Like Lexie said in her post, you have to be original and creative and just so OUT there that no one can miss or forget you. And with all that I say that although I'm not that person with blogging, I hope to be that person with everything else in my life.

Now, I know I left this blog with a bit of a sour and saddened tone when I posted last, but I'm glad to report that life as a whole is seriously turning around for me.
Exhibit A: School - I am graduating in less than a month. I am graduating. In less than a month. Less than a month. Graduating. Now that that has all sunken in... I'm still processing it. It's completely insane to think that I'll be considered a working-class adult in less than four weeks. Jeeze. Sometimes I feel like I just graduated Middle School so the fact that I'm about to be done with University is just ridiculous. But it gives me sincere hope for Exhibit B.
Exhibit B: I have my own small business (!!!!!) - Yes! I do! I like to consider myself smart-ish and I decided to open shop on a platform other than Etsy. If I had a dime for ever card or paper shop I saw on Etsy I wouldn't have to sell on Etsy because I would be able to retire and move to France. With that being said, I decided to sell on Storenvy. It's a free service and you can upload as many products on as you want! And did I mention it is free!? Because it is. I'm paying two dollars a month now for extended promotion offers like buy one, get one free, or free shipping. But you don't even have to do that! It's great! And you can even personalize your store unlike all the Etsy shops that look the exact same. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID - My shop is a place of both single cards, and card collections. I'm definitely expanding in the future to have notepads, journals, calendars, etc. But for now that is all I have in there.
Exhibit C: I also do personalized things - I'm horribly busy making personalized invitations for both weddings and birthdays, as well as wedding programs. It's incredibly stressful, but just SO rewarding. There is nothing more rewarding than the smile that cross the faces of your clients when they genuinely love what I have poured my heart into. And that's what I try to do - focus all my intensive emotion into something that is truly worthwhile instead of pouring it all into Exhibit D.
Exhibit D: Men, or should I say Boys in Men's clothing - They truly mean it when they say that you won't find someone if you're lookin'. Well I said I wasn't going to pay any attention to guys anymore; that I was just going to design and live my life and focus on me. And here I am now with them just a crawlin' out of the woodworks. Exes, old guy-friends, new guys that are just jerks, exes that are still jerks. WHAT IS MY LIFE!? These boys and their games of waiting until you text them first or being sickly sweet and then mean so they can just break you and reglue you. Stupid. My game is making them think I care just oh-so-much when I'm really just forgetting them. (Somebody's gotta take these guys down a few notches).
Exhibit E: Cleaning out all the garbage in my life - People. People can either bring you down or lift you up and that's something I have really been struggling with realizing in my life. Especially the part where you have to trim those bringer-downers out of your life completely if you want to find happiness. It's hard but, as Carrie Underwood says, "Sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye." Amen, girl.

Well, my lanta, this post is absurd.
In closing, this Summer is going to be a time of serious adventures and excitement and I can't wait to live it! I'll be sharing it with you for sure so don't give up on me quite yet!
Thank you for reading that entire post about my nonsensical life!
