recently, i took a little trip out east to one helluva town. traveling with my mom, my best friend and her mom, we had the most cliche girls trip you can imagine. from spending a solid two days shopping, fan-girling over 5th avenue, and trying every starbucks near our hotel we deeply enjoyed our time in NYC. naturally, as four theater nerds, we had to go see a few shows. i could have watched anything, but we decided on Chicago, and the new musical Anastasia. Both of these shows were absolutely amazing and left me singing the soundtrack on the walk back, in the shower, on the subway, you name it. we attempted to get tickets to see the glorious Dear Evan Hansen, but unfortunately someday I need to go to college. but, if anyone has an extra 4k laying around lmk. lets talk about how amazing ny cheesecake is, and leave out the part about the calories. oml, this stuff is a delicacy. i'm talking red velvet, carrot cake, and (my personal favorite) devil's food cheesecake. mmm mmm mmm, defiantly worth the hype. times square is all magical and stuff don't get me wrong but my favorite part in NYC is by the bay, were its a tad more quiet and a lot less busy. we took a little cruise on the water and my oh my the sights were breath taking. after crying about how pretty the skyline is for an hour we headed to the cutest little coffee shop for some warm drinks. the owners of this haven were the sweetest, funniest people i met in ny. their hospitality was so real, good work guys way too prove not all new yorkers are mean. that's a wrap for nyc, see ya next time big apple.

nothing hurts me more than seeing someone discouraged from doing something they love. they give up hopes and dreams of all sizes based on the “you won’t make it”, “that doesn’t really seem to suit you”, “you realize how much work that takes right?” and “odds aren’t very good”. It seems that traditionally, our response to these phrases is to shy away from wherever this critic is going. but in reality, the only way to achieve what we want is to go into that grey zone where the odds aren’t very good. why would people shy you away from your dreams? i have no idea. maybe they can’t stand the idea of you having extreme success someday, or maybe they do not truly know that what they say impacts you. here’s my advice, don’t listen to them. you don’t have to be someone else’s version of you, be your version of you. if you aren’t your own self, who are you? are you a watered-down version of someone else? are you so programmed to follow all of societies rules to the t that you don’t leave room for your own interpretation of life? who are you? if you cannot say “i am me today”, i hope that one day you strive to say just that. for someone may say something judgmental, discouraging, or snarky about you doing the things that make you who you love but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get out there and do it. go for it, and be the best and purest version of yourself you can be. this is your life, and you get this cool opportunity to create, love, and inspire with it. and the best part? there is no rule book, your free to make your own choices and do whatever the H E double hockey sticks you want. seize the power to choose your own path. don’t let other people’s irrelevant opinions ruin your life, it’s called your life for a reason. be purely you. |
