Help! I want the world!

If any of you have been redoing a room or looking up new diy projects, you may have done what I always do and fall into a Pinterest depression. 
The Pinterest depression occurs when there is so much inspiration but you are stuck where you lack the money, time, or creativity to possibly tackle any of it ever, like forever, never ever going to do any of this but I will pin it anyways, kind of funk. 

Believe it or not, lovelies, I am in one of those funks! The pressure of redoing a room is so overwhelming when you hold so many ideas for such a small space. Although, you may be able to blame the Property Brothers and their flawless finishes for making me so uptight with perfection. I need perfection.

It's not that I don't feel I can reach perfection, because I can, but I'm afraid I can not pick a starting point. Do I want something warm, fresh, open or cozy? Should my accents be white or dark brown? Maybe even black? I know this will pin me as a child to many of you but getting my own room after nineteen years of holding back in my expression is so liberating and scary. Freedom is overwhelming but it's exactly what I need to become who I am. 

I plan on taking you all along on my journey full of hacks for the poor young adult with such a low paying job that she can't even fund her own blog! (Donate please?) I will find my balance and I hope to help you all out too! 

CSI: Corgi Stump Investigators

The day is almost here! The day I plan to spend with the love of my life doing what we do best... squealing at the sight of corgis! While we don't own one of the queens greatest gems yet, with my boyfriend being twenty and older than I, we plan to attend and gawk and pet as many balls of fluff as humanly possible! 
One of the best parts of corgi beach day is all the celebrity appearances! Including our favorites: Winston the white corgi and the three corgis, Cupcake, Hambone, and Wolfgang! I am so excited to meet them and it's honestly such a dream of ours to own corgis! We have built our relationship on that mutual love and the day will eventually arrive where we have our own fluffy angel to parade around! For now, though, I will accept as many dog kisses as it takes to hold me over!

Lazy day brainstorms

I can see such a bright future for myself, but, as all of you wonder yourselves, I don't know where to begin. I don't have the tools or experience to start over with a new career. Some things I have always wanted to do is travel and take photographs or work for a company in social media departments. This can be my own business, but I truly lack the tools I know how to use. It's hard knowing how to be successful but having no laptop to use or camera to have this blog at its best quality it can be. I have so many ideas and so much motivation but none of that will go anywhere without these tools. But that will not stop me from pursuing my dreams. My dreams of becoming someone with something to say.  Have any of you felt this way? Leave me a comment with your story and let's have a chat.

What having blue hair has taught me

While it hasn't been a crazy life commitment, my hair has had blue for the past few days and the world hasn't ended.
Adding fun colors to my hair has been something I have wanted to try for years but I was always afraid of judgement and getting weird looks. But honestly, no one has even looked at me since. In fact, I have only gotten positive responses! It is insane to be how much confidence this small change has given me, and how it puts my worries into perspective. The only judgement I had to worry about was my own. This is something that is so new to me, taking risks, that I am actually surprised how everything is the same. If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have the confidence to be here right now. Who cares, my hair is blue.

If you would all like a DIY post on getting your hair this lovely shade of blue, leave me a comment!

Today is never too late

The only difference between today and any other day is that I cut my watermelon into cubes instead of wedges. That speaks louder than you may think, as it can be hard to find the motivation while drowning in work and scheduling days to spend time with your boyfriend.

It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I am horribly bored with the way things are going. I am working part time making minimum wage and I can't seem to catch a break on moving forward with my life. But maybe I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

I mean, it's about that time of year where I begin to pound my head on the pavement since it is more pleasant than the California sun, but the clouds haven't moved all day(and neither have I). Isn't that part of inspiration? Seeing signs in everyday life that something is going right or that you need a change. I am inspired when I am at rock bottom, so I suppose I am pretty lucky for that. The only issue is that I tend to spiral before I have the idea. Delilah.. you have wanted to truly blog for so long, why not today?

So here I am...
I hope you all stick around and are involved in my adventure with me!
