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
