Dear Diary: December Life Update- 2018 highlights, current struggles + updates

December 1, 2018

I’m finally getting the hang of things in New York, which is a good and bad thing for me lol. I’ve found a job so I can get back into my routine of life but I also don’t want to get comfortable and I can feel it happening. There’s so much of everything in New York though, can I really get comfortable here?

I have been thinking a lot about this upcoming year, time really flies. This year I’ve had so many memories traveling to New Orleans for my birthday was a highlight, I had a blast. I graduated from college! Finally! Haha. I moved to New York, and I am falling in love with this city. I’ve also grown so much as a person, just from graduation until now has been a massive expansion in who I am as a person. I’m making myself more vulnerable, really sharing myself with others and allowing my walls to come down so people can really give me love, support and affection. I’ve never been this open, I stay to myself but I want more deep, intimate, meaningful relationships and I think I’ve gotten a lot of that the past 6 months!

I am so excited to finally be doing what I want, I don’t have to worry about school or going down a corporate path or feeling pressured. I’m a content Creator and it brings me so much joy, I have time to really put into my content. I’m making huge investments and challenging myself to give 1,000% to every photo, video and story which is also a part of me I’ve only tapped into a few times. Doing the bare minimum worked all throughout school but I’m doing something I love so I just want it to be excellent!

I’ve had this idea for a boutique for almost 6 months, I’ve been stressing myself out trying to make it exactly how I’ve envisioned and I’ve had to let go of my expectations and what I think things should look like. It might not be as grand as I want it to be but that’s only a snapshot of now, one step at a time. But it’s time to test the waters, Look out for a few pieces I’m putting on my website this month!

I’ve been in my head struggling with this concept of impact, influence and success. I’ve had a question of whether successful people set out to have impact and influence or are they just doing what they love and all of that seems to follow. Of course I want to impact the world in a major way but I know I have to take care of myself first and just do everything I want to do. Me doing my best and fulfilling my purpose is the biggest inspiration I can give to others.

I love the community I’m building though, getting to know and meeting the people who I share common interests with has been the best part of building this thing, I want to continue to expand, grow and inspire. I’m coming for 2019 so hard, taking my content to the next level, organizing my finances and traveling more!

What do you want for 2019?

XO, Mar

Instagram post 18084753208130440 Ahhhhh. New York. Lol I’m laughing while I’m writing this cause whew! You just can’t prepare for this. No matter what you think it’s going to be like, it’s a whole experience. It’s interesting. It’s an adjustment. It’s challenging. It’s amazing. I asked for New York to break me down and  build me up again, I literally said it in my first post.  Be careful what you wish for 😂  but seriously I’ve learned a lot about myself, I’ve had so much fun along with several breakdowns, missed trains and WTF moments. New York has shown me you aren’t getting anything without a fight regardless of the plethora of opportunities around. I’m excited about building this next layer of strength and character within myself. It’s not easy but I know If I stick with it, my time will come. My favorite thing about living in New York is all the different types of people, their stories and expressions. I’ve met so many talented, good hearted people who just want to be great at what they do or already are. 
What’s your favorite thing about your city?
Instagram post 18007234711267843 I really got caught up in doing it for the gram that I forgot why I was doing this for myself. I promised myself to be authentic, to share the good, bad and ugly but I found myself trying to force the ugly into a closet. 🍁 Two things I’ve learned: 
1. Some parts of your journey are sacred. Everything doesn’t need to be shared in real time or ever because some things you just have to go through and you have to go through alone. 
2. I’m a human being. I have fears, dreams, feelings etc. I can preach to people to not be afraid to make mistakes and still be afraid to make some of my own. I can say failure is a stepping block to success and still feel devastated by my failures. 
It’s okay wherever you are on your journey, it’s okay to feel the way you do, it’s okay to just be, it’s okay to live a life that others don’t understand. The only thing that matters is progress and getting back in the ring for the next fight.
