Staring at the green light on my computer while I talk to myself is as painful as I feel Gatsby had it while living across from Daisy.
Rewatching myself? No.
But I am obsessed with YouTube, why not be involved. I love watching old videos and recently during my hiatus from the real world, I have been playing with the iMovie on my computer.
I know that I want to blog. That's my primary concern, first and foremost. But will vlogging add a new, needed depth? Will it draw up interest?
I would love for more than just my friends to see my blog. I want other people to read about my experiences and it could maybe help them, or know that they aren't alone. Or maybe I'll know that something I'm doing is important.
Maybe vlogging is the next step in the Girl Meets World revolution? I'm already contemplating a new, or rather second Twitter account. I don't know...
Only time will tell. But I know that the two jobs I'll applied for thus far had video portions and it was brutal, maybe this'll help the whole public speaking conundrum.
I know I say it again and again... I love my sorority, and goingGreek is a huge reason for me being the woman that I am. So of course, with this past weekend being Initiation and Ritual being my Little Babe's position, I just knew I couldn't miss it! It's nice to know that you can always go home. Here are the photos from my weekend:
Know you're not alone, we're gonna make this place your home
The other day on Twitter, the goddess that is Sophia Bush retweeted, something that I've seen before but never really thought about before, onto my timeline:
15 people on what they would tell their 16yo selves
It's hard growing up... But I truly believe that if you can survive high school, you can just about survive anything. While I was fortunate enough to have great friends and family, my biggest critic has always and will always be myself. But here's something I've learned in my 23 years, it is possible to quiet the voice in your head that says you can't do something or you're not good enough, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to silence it completely but I've learned that it drives me to work harder, and not trust it blindly.
Here's what I know about me, that doesn't let the voice get too loud:
I love...
music
quotes
books (especially with strong female leads)
tv shows & movies (with a message and quotes & narration)
my friends
my family
myself
God
nail polish
tattoos (important, significant)
food
social media
fashion
writing
You have to learn how to silence the voice in your head that says you're not good enough or can't do something. I am capable of absolutely anything I put my mind to, and I am very much good enough.
"Your identity should be so secure that when someone walks away from you they don't take you with them."
So what would I tell a young KJB?
Oscar winner, Graham Moore, said it best: "Stay weird. Stay different." Stay true to yourself. Don't change something that makes you just so uniquely you. Your hair is perfect just the way it is- curly, frizzy, crazy, it's unique. Being the tallest is pretty awesome sometimes, everyone else will eventually catch up. Confidence is key-- if you own who you are and what makes you different- the voice in your head won't be able to keep you down.
I'm ecstatic to think about the time in which we are living... There is new outlook on pretty much anything women-related. There are new, updated POVs and powerful role models. Famous women, women of power in the public eye seem to be accepting that they have a duty to the women that will come after them to lift one another up. It is Women's History Month, so ya know!
