Memo to Self

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Alright Jenny B, you did everything you wanted to do this year. One final goal left. The biggest and most important one. So, you have to live poor until the end of the year to accomplish this goal. You know what needs to be done and how to do it. If it's not in the blueprint then you shouldn't do it. Let's go!

Hey . . . treat yourself at least as well as you do your car. You take your car in for regular checks and tune-ups, keep an eye on its 'health' - so how about doing the same for you? That body of yours is what takes you through your life, not your car! C'mon, show yourself some love!

What does not kill you only makes you stronger!!!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

You love your friend. You're happy you're going to live with her. Remember that you are glad this is happening instead of getting pissy. It will all work out, so don't sweat the little stuff, and remember to be nice to her. Even when she makes you a tiny bit crazy, you care about her, so don't be a jerk.

It is not a good idea to stay up until 2:30 trying to write. Especially when you've barely eaten for two days. This is a recipe for making yourself feel ill.

Self-care is more important than finishing crappy fanfics.

Not everyone will treat you like your ex do not let others bad treatment of you taint your heart. Be open and loving always.

Thanks, SSL - needed that message.

Take a breath, you're scared and overwhelmed. Pause. Do the next right thing, just think about that. Then do the next one after that. You can do it.

Do not get invested. Do not get heartbroken again.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Do not plan parties/social gatherings two days in a row, especially at the end of a week of heavy socializing.

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Keep doing what you do best. You have been beating your craft and trying to master it. In the end you want to be brilliant and a fucken genius at everything you do. Biggest note to self is you gotta do this everyday. Everyday!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Bringing up your feelings for someone, when you know they are aware and don't feel the same, serves no purpose but to make you both uncomfortable and and should be avoided in the future. It doesn't make her feel better about herself (even when that's the goal), it doesn't make you feel better, and it doesn't help your friendship. Just, don't.

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

If we all look deep enough we will discover we always have something we need to work on ourselves to be better people. It's part of taking responsibility for your actions. Taking that responsibility and then working to improve them. I don't like how worked up I get about shit sometimes; especially stupid little things. I am working on not doing that. When I am challenged I play out negative scenarios in my head and then act out positively instead. It's not always easy, but if I put it into enough practice I will improve myself.

[sweet satin lover]

get more sleep.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Be happy with what you have. Just because someone else can an interview with the Neonatal ICU and you didn't doesn't mean you're a failure. You got interviews with your second and third choices and that is *awesome*. You are going to get a hospital job, so be grateful for that. You'd be lucky to work in either PICU or NSICU. Learn to be satisfied with great instead of wishing for perfect. This job will only be a stepping stone anyway; you don't want to stay here forever, so your first nursing job is just your starting place. Be happy.

Salad olives are disgusting; just because they're cheaper doesn't mean they're worth it. You don't even like them on pizza.

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Soon you will spread your wings and fly. I made a promise years ago to my mom. When she died she wanted to be cremated and have her ashes spread in the ocean at San Felipe, Mexico. I am a woman of my word no matter what. When I do this it means it will all be over forever. Never again will I hurt because of this woman. I will soar through the skies freely. Time to move on.

[sweet satin lover]

Give it your all even if you are a little scared never let them know that

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Work on my human interactions more.
-Make better eye contact.
-Take a moment to actually stop and speak and not walk away right away.
-Make my presence known even after I walk away. (I want a person to feel good after talking to me. To be like, "You know that was a nice person.")
-Keep practicing these things everyday. You see plenty of people everyday.
-Smile more because you receive enough compliments about it.
-Always go out and get it Jenny B.

Take time . . . be present. There's a boat to catch (twice) and schedules to keep but be in the moment, too. Now.

Take time. Be present. Don't murder your Mom.

[deirdreb1122]

Take time. Be present. Don't murder Mom.

Take time. Be present. Don't murder sassy children.

I have one body - take care of it! But with love.
