Work and school is a mix i’m still trying to get used to. It takes pretty much takes all my time and energy. I don’t feel like doing much after other than relaxing. My passion for dance isn’t as alive as it used to be. It’s just something I do once a week for a 1-3 hrs. My dance teacher told me that the “fire” that fuels my dance isn’t burning intensely as it should be. When the semester is over, I wish to feed that flame again. Forest fire that shit lol.

After starting work, I deeply appriciate all the me time I get. Before I had a job, I took it for granted. Guess that’s what they mean by use your time wisely.  Anyways, 1 more month of this then it’s summer. Gonna do my best to give it my all.

I asked my mom if I could go out tmrw night and she said no because I had school the next day. Which is true. So I accepted it and dropped it. My mom pays for my gas, puts food on my table, gives me a place to sleep, let’s me go out every weekend and to top it off it’s only me and her living in this house together. I know it must be hard and stressful for her not having my bro and dad around living in the same household. I’m sure that through time, she’ll learn to let me go little by little. So even though i’m 18 and should have all the freedom I want and feel like I deserve, I understand why she does the things she does, and i’m willing to sacrifice going out if it means making her a bit happier. Thanks For Everything Mom. 

And I’m already exhausted from this routine, but I’m gonna make the most out what it is.
Work hard, to play hard. The playing hard part is later on, but I know when I look back it’ll be worth it.

Note to self: You got this shit!! 

But we need to take care of ourselves before we take care of each other.
