PH/ MACUSHLA BURKE

It's been a big two weeks.... and to be honest, I really needed that time.  I needed to be able to own my own time on my accord instead of having my times slotted and planned.  I wanted to be able to call my shots and do what I want.  Stupid thing was... it didn't happen when I left, it just followed me.  I had different schedules, different time slots, more people chasing me.  It feels like it just goes on and on.

I try too hard to be harder than I actually am.  I feel that if I don't start the day with that mindset, it would end up in things becoming sloppy and inconsistent.  I NEED to learn how to be softer, distinguish the times to stand up for myself, pick my battles and care more.

I have thought over the past couple days, hardcore is not about being tough but more acceptance of how certain situations are.  Sometimes I could be right, or somethings I could be wrong.

I have taken more from this trip in way that I didn't expect to.  I can't be tough every moment of the day and with some things, its best to let down my guard.
I needed to know that its ok to give myself permission to do that.

LOST CAUSES/



OPEN MINDS/OPEN HEARTS
BALANCING BOTH MEANS THE ABILITY TO STEP OUT AND BE THE BIGGER PERSON

/PH. BLADE PRO/

/FRIEND OF MINE LEATHER SHORTS C/O GIZZY & NACHO/

In an effort to write more words and provide more substance regarding my thoughts, I often resort to thinking about things that concern me.  A piece of my mind?

Here we go.  A close friend said to me "Valerie, you donate your whole life to lost causes knowingly and that makes you not very happy at the end of the day." I admit, I do... but in an effort to grow up, chill out and calm down... I have a relatively new stance.

I will do not it again. 
Story of my life: Willingly getting pushed around.

OVER IT.
