I’m at the airport right now about to board the plane for my first day on my new project. I’ll be flying to New York every week… Something I’ve always dreamed of. Well, almost. I’ve wanted to move to NYC, so this is a start. I decided to go with the classic black dress, and dressed it up with a grey sweater and necklace. What do you guys think?!
Who loves to travel?!
It is addicting, beneficial, and one of the best things to do in life. I haven’t even seen a small portion of the world… I have a long way to go. So many religions, cultures, food, clothing, etc. I want to experience and see it all!
I just saw a short video online, and WOW! This was an eye opener. Time to put the phone down:
I’m on Facebook, Twitter, Four Square, and Instagram. Now, I’m on WordPress. Everywhere I go, I like to take a pic of where I am… And then I have to “check in” on Four Square, which is linked to my Twitter. I then will take a really cool pic and edit it. That will then be uploaded to Instagram, which is linked to my Twitter and Facebook. So what does that mean? Just a couple of minutes, maybe 7 minutes tops to get my captions perfect, right? NO!
I will constantly get notifications from all the social media apps. That leads to me being on the phone constantly. I never realized how much life is passing right by me. I’m too busy trying to show my “friends” what I’m doing and what I’m eating. Why so they care? If they do, I can tell them all about it later.
People are too busy putting their every move online, in hopes to get more “likes” than their last upload. I am guilty of this. I need to stop and smell the roses. I don’t want life passing by me. I want to actually be IN the moment, not just be there.
So, I’m trying to be healthy so I can be more fit and lose a few pounds. Getting invisalign recently has helped a bit- it controls the snacking because I’m too lazy to keep brushing my teeth and flossing inbetween. So, what’s the issue? I GOT UPGRADED TO FIRST CLASS! Ugh. I know, why am I complaining? Because they offer Milano cookies, chocolates, and other yummy snacks on the flight!
I have two options:
1.) I take off my invisalign and munch away. Because hey, you online live once.
2.) I keep my invisalign on. Because hey, 30 seconds of enjoyment while eating a cookie is not worth having to run 1 mile for it later.
THE STRUGGLE.
