Winter Blues

Do you ever just want to get away? I do! I have been daydreaming for days about grabbing my girlfriends & taking a vacation to somewhere warm. Can't someone just fund me a mini-vacation? I would absolutely love it (seriously though.) I have a huge passion for traveling, meeting new people, exploring new areas & of course relaxing. Right now, I feel like decisions I will be making in the future are out of my hands at the current moment. This leaves me feeling anxious, aloof & wishing I was traveling. What do you do when you feel like this?

This week has started off good & I am really proud of myself-- yesterday marks my one year anniversary in my current position! Time flies... it literally seems like just yesterday I packed up my room in DC to head to Boston. 

I've said plenty of times being in your 20's isn't easy! It's a time of change & uncertainty. I try REALLY hard not to compare my journey with others but, sometimes I find myself doing it. I work in digital media which means I am on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc. during the day. I am constantly reminded of others’ lives. It sometimes gets to me!

Instead of saying oh "I wish I could go on a trip to Italy like so & so." I want to put those statements into actions! I am starting to getting frustrated-- I keep saying "I want to do this, this, this & this" & not doing any of them. It's time for my bucket list! I will continue to add onto this but for right now here are some things I would love to do (soon!)
I am keeping this small for right now, so I can actually do them! Once I do them, I will check them off & I will add more. I want to hear from anyone out there-- how do you kick the winter blues & actually make your statements into actions? Comment below!
