Week two of me sharing some little things make me happy This week has felt much more relaxing, but Maryland is starting to reopen and that just makes me nervous right now. But this blog post is about joys, not anxieties. So here are five little things that brought me joy this week.

So the past few weeks have been really hard for me. I’ve been working extra hours and not sleeping well just because of stress and anxiety. I’ve been working from home for more than 8 weeks now and I was having some feelings of hopelessness about the whole “reopening of states” and whether things will actually go back to normal soon (if ever). And while I’m trying my best to manage all of that on my own and navigate this “new normal”, I want to share some of the things that have brought me some joy in the midst of all of this chaos. And since I stopped doing my need-to-knows, I figured this is a good, new series that can help enforce the importance of “the little things” on our lives. Especially during such a crazy time period. So to kick off the weekend, here are 5 little things that brought me joy this week.

Hi everyone. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted something on here. I’ve sort of been watching everything happen in real time and taking it all in. I have been debating whether or not I should address the current pandemic on here or not. I’ve gone over what I can say and what I can do to actually help with the problem and I still don’t really have a good answer. I’m currently social-distancing at home. I’m lucky my job allows me to continue to work at home. I know a lot of people aren’t as lucky. I know a lot of people are nervous right now too. And scared. And I’m right there with you. And while I myself am seeking comfort and answers right now during this confusing time, I wanted to share some resources that are helping me stay calm, informed and healthy.

On my blog, I have not always been so forth coming about my politics. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter (or even know me in real life) you know that’s not true at all.
I am making this blog post because I am so outraged by what I see happening in my country today. There are many things to be angry about, but because today is the 47th anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade being passed, I’d like to discuss the abortion bans happening in several states and The Supreme Court’s attempt to over throw RvW.

I am very anxious about this next decade. There are so many questions that send me spiraling. Am I gonna get married, am I gonna have kids, am I gonna move out, where will I move out to, can I make new friends, can I keep my old friends, who’s still gonna be around, who won’t be… And I freak myself out because a lot can happen in a year and even more can happen in a decade. It’s normal to make goals and have hopes for the next few years to come, but for the next decade of my life? I don’t even know where to start.

So it’s taken me a while to write this post out just because I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that it’s a new year. As exciting as that is, I was overwhelmed with work and catching up from the holidays for the last 2 weeks. I’ve been thinking about how I want 2020 to differ from 2019. I used to make resolutions and lots of lists of things I wanted to improve on, but that’s never fully worked out for me. But a trend I’ve seen on Instagram and Twitter lately is picking a one word theme for the whole year. I also got the inspiration to make this post after reading my insta-friend Taylor’s blog here (she has some great posts about one word resolutions) and she is just so intentional and sweet as can be! So after giving this some thought over the last few weeks, I’ve decided my word for 2020 is ‘unapologetic’.

So last week I made the impromptu decision to delete the 3 social media apps I use the most- Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. I had a really bad cold at the time so I was resting and didn’t just want to be on my phone all day. I thought it was just going to be for the weekend while I was recovering but I really wanted to challenge myself to last a week. I’ve always wanted to take a step back from social media to see how I felt about not being as ‘in the know’ as I usually am and what would happen to my blog Instagram if I wasn’t posting or engaging at all. If you’ve ever wanted to take a break from social media, here are some thoughts I had during my week long social media break to give you a heads up on what you can expect:

We’ve all been there. Life gets overwhelming and complicated. We revert into ourselves and things just feel ‘off’. We feel low and unworthy and just not our best selves. This feeling is not new to me and is one of the main reasons I started going to therapy. So if you’ve ever felt this way, I wanted you to know that 1. you’re not alone because 2. I deal with this all the time. Whether its because of stress or heartbreak or anxiety or…anything, here are some ways I’ve helped myself get out of a funk.
