22 and No Friends…..

Hey guys,

Soooooo, it has been a long time since I put anything up on here. To be honest, life happened I completely shifted gears with where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do with my life. To quickly catch you up on my life, I am still a full time student in college, I still live a lone but moved to a different  apartment, I got first runner up this summer for Miss Puerto Rico 2014, I opened my own dance studio (I know!?! Crazy) and I work at a gift shop on weekends. Yeah, that is my life in a couple words. So as I was doing homework today I decided I wanted to get back into blogging, I have experienced and gone through things that I know people can relate to. I know that my purpose in life is to help others, which is why I decided to blog again.

Today’s topic is exactly what the title is, I currently don’t have any type of social life whats so ever. I haven’t gone out with “friends” since high school, which was in 2011….. crazy right?!?! Time and work is what I am constantly trying to keep up with, which has led me to not having any friends. So you may be thinking you have to at least have one friend and the answer is no. Owning a business especially a dance studio is difficult and rewarding at the same time. My family and students are my best friends, which I have no problem with. As you know in my previous blog posts I was bullied, which has led to trust issues with other people. I am constantly being cautious with who I surround myself with. And I have also gravitated toward children and family for any type of social enjoyment.

The point of todays post is for those who are out there feeling alone, depressed and worthless because you have no friends…..DONT. I would be lying to you all if I said I don’t get depressed some days, when I scroll through my Instagram and see picture of people having a great social life. But I have come to the realization that this is my life right now. This is where God wants me to be at this moment. I would rather have no friends than a bunch of fake friends, so to those who neglect your family and loved ones to be with friends, think twice about that decision. Family is not on this Earth forever, so try to find a happy balance between both friends and family.

Remember guys stay strong and work hard, Happy Monday!

-XOXO,

Stephanie

Chasing My Dreams…..Literally!

  Hello! And welcome back todays post will be a bit personal and emotional for me. So before I draw it out any longer I shall begin.

In just three short days I will be leaving the U.S and I am going to go completely out of my comfort zone, and do something I normally would never. As much as I want to get in to detail as to what excatly I am going to do, I can’t at the moment. Lets just say that it is something that can open many more doors for me in the future. The point of today’s post is not to talk about the actual physically activity I am going to be doing, but to share with everyone how important it is to take a chance and throw everything in the air and hope that God catches it and leads you to the right direction. I tend to sit at night especially as the days creep closer and closer and question if I am making the right choice. I am leaving my family, putting my job and my apartment on hold and taking a risk. And although I tend to question myself I still feel this sense of calmness I truly believe that it is the Lord who is telling me that it is going to be okay, he is telling me to trust him, he is telling me that this is excatly what I need to be doing at this very moment. Through the mist of the doubt and the feeling of being scared going to a place where I don’t know many people those words from the Lord  couldn’t be anymore comforting.  So what exacatly am I trying to encourage you to do? I am telling you to push yourself and take yourself to a place that you didn’t think was possible. Fight for your dreams, don’t settle for comfort, push yourself out of the ordinary box stand up and follow your dreams! One of the worst feelings is looking back and wondering “what it” I have made that mistake before and trust me I promised myself that I will no longer do that. So no matter what age you are, you are never to old to pursue your dreams, to take a chance and to make it happen! I hope that who ever reads this feels inspire, motivated and willing to make it happen! So go…..CHASE YOUR DREAMS!!

-XOXO
