Today is a blessing

Visible to anyone in the world

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

Hello to all and welcome again to my blog. I am always inspired to write as I have a lot of experiences and feelings to share about. 😁 

Today is special because after a long and arduous time of job searching, I have finally got the opportunity to have an interview on Tuesday. It might not happen the way as I exactly want it to happen but at least it's a chance. It has encouraged me at least to keep trying and to not give up on the search. Ok, so, it is a property agency, which I have little to no experience in, however, I am so excited at the idea of learning new things and growing in another field of sales. Bigger projects. A new environment. A fresh start. I am gonna hope and pray that something will come out of this, but whatever happens will happen and I have faith that what happens will be for the best for me.

Ahh, it is quite the good life just having a few ups and downs, but the slopes are what make us more grateful for what we can achieve and overcome. I believe certainly that the challenges are what make us stronger and wiser. They also help us to make better choices in life after the mistakes that we often make. The mistakes that we make just give us the opportunity to grow and have a healthier mindset. What I mean is that we are able to take constructive criticism to have a better outlook on ourselves and others in the way we work. It helps us to know how we can do a better job overall and therefore get ahead in life. That's all. Mistakes are actually really good for us sometimes. It's a learning curve. 

Well, today I am writing to you because, not only about the excitement I have for my potential job, but writing is a great way of just expressing my thoughts. I wonder what other methods there are to express thoughts. If you are reading this, would you be able to share in the comments what methods you use to express your thoughts or emotions? I am always finding ways to get my thoughts out and make them concrete for example, painting, writing, jogging, dancing, etc. 

With expressing my emotions, they often come out negatively through tears and snot 😆, but I unfortunately also have negative copers such as vaping/smoking, which I promise to stop soon since I wanna have children. In any case, I am also seeing a psychologist to help me through my thought processes as well as a psychiatrist for the medical side of things. 

Anyway, as I said, slopes, ups and downs, roller coasters, the works. I guess that's what life is, but there is reward and hope to be found in it. Light at the end of the tunnel as they say. 

Thank you for visiting😄. I hope to hear from you guys and make sure that you share your thoughts on the subject if you would like to. 

Your faithful blogger,

Briony

Another day

Visible to anyone in the world

It is quite a neutral day. Barely any sun and cloudy. A little bit gloomy but calm. I feel empowered today to write and study more than I did yesterday. I also watched the movie - A Cure for Wellness - such a brilliant movie as it has such cinematic creativity and an interesting story. I highly recommend it on Prime Video. It captivated me to keep watching and watching till the end. 

Will I have the strength to exercise today? We will see. I don't feel that motivated lately to exercise, but I realize that it is not only good for my body, but also for my mind. I need a mental boost every now and then. Otherwise, I do feel very lazy to do what I enjoy. What motivates you to exercise? If you would like to comment your ideas, I would really appreciate it. 

So far in my communication and posts on the forums, I find it very encouraging to have my classmates comment and give feedback. I realize that this is a very supportive group which I very much appreciate as I am just starting. I hope that I will do well, but since I am just starting, it might take a bit of time for me to unwrap my mind to these new concepts and information. My mind can be slow sometimes, but I do like to take in the most I can from what I see. 

While I write my blog, I like to listen to jazz. It is very calming and less distracting for me. Though, I do like to listen to my pop and rock now and again. Music is such a gift to the soul. It helps me to relax, dance, and contemplate the importance of having fun in life. We must enjoy the life we have been given or even what's left of it. What is life without having the ability to enjoy it? All I can say is to make the most of it.

UPDATE

Visible to anyone in the world

Dear Reader

I apologize for not posting in a while. Things have gotten so hectic. I didn't get the job that I was interviewed for at a photo developing company. I am quite bummed about it but what can one do but keep trying. Currently, I am unemployed, but I must keep moving forward although it is quite discouraging and difficult sometimes. What can I do but push forward and try.

Life didn't present itself as so difficult and heart-breaking when I was little. When I grew up into adulthood, it was quite a shock to the system actually. Having to adapt to the change, I needed to be put onto anti-depressants. Modern times are definitely hard considering the messed-up world we live in. How can one live without being medicated, I wonder, since it is not a very pleasant world to live in after all?

All I desire, once in a while, is to roam through a forest and smell that green nature that I cannot get by living in the city. All I can smell sometimes is furniture at home or the fumes of emissions from the car exhaust or living in the same routine without a break. I think that most are medicated for the sake of trying to survive in a hostile or boring environment without any adventure. 

Well, all is good in the hood anyhoo. I have what I need so what else could I ask for? I should count my blessings to make myself feel a bit better which I have been doing, and it does work. Life is hard but all we can do is to do our best and wait out the circumstances as time will heal and mend itself.
