OOTD: Feeling Summery Part 1

June Journal #1
If you could change one personality trait about yourself, would you? Which one?
I’d like to be more easy going. I am by nature an anxious person. I worry A LOT. I worry about everything from serious life altering events to the most minor and mundane issues. I do think that I have gotten much more comfortable in my own skin and have moved into a phase of, “Well, I survived _____________.” I can do anything in terms of my career, but deep down I do believe I worry and stress too much still. I think it stems from childhood trauma. It is easier to expect the worst, it is easier to over analyze and try to figure out what others are thinking because then it is much easier to plan and avoid pain.

Do you have a favorite spot to go out for coffee or dinner? What makes the spot so great?
Not really a must go to and sit and sip my coffee type of place; unless you count my couch on a weekend morning. Starbucks is my favorite place to get coffee when I’m out and about though. I even finally joined everyone in this decade and got the Starbucks app and card on my FitBit. I like my fancy coffees although I mostly just get simple orders like a Cafe Americano. I love trying new restaurants, especially with my girlfriends. We go to The Sawmill a lot but since it changed from Moose Factory the quality and menu variety has gone down really fast but it is one of the few places my husband will go out to eat and it was one of our first dates. I do really love the Olive Garden for the same reason.

Next week is my 38th birthday; as I get older I need/want fewer and fewer things. What I really want is to be surrounded by family and simply chill out for the evening; however, this year there are a couple of things on my radar.

What is more important in a friend: someone who makes you laugh, or someone who is always there for you?
Someone who is always there for you is the most important. Together you can love and support one another. You can make memories together and generate laughs together. If you can find someone who is always there for you and make you laugh you have hit the jackpot. I can say that I have found that in my life. You can always find things to make you laugh in this life; maybe scrolling on Instagram or watching TV but you can’t manufacture a true support network in this topsy turvy world. A true supportive friend; now that is like a diamond in the rough. But you have to remember that you have to reciprocate the support, it can’t be a one-sided relationship. I don’t have a ton of friends but I have a few top quality ladies in my life who are always there for me and I’m always there for them.
