New Years Resolution: Be Nice to Everyone- but be NICER to the people who matter most and TOUGHER with everyone else

So just for some fun- I'm going to start out by telling you guys my resolution when I was an Edgy Freshman in High School. I wanted someone to ask me "Don't you think you're crossing the line?" And for my response to be "What line?" This was an actual thing I told people semi seriously (Ok it was more of a joke- but I did really want to do that.)

This resolution is better. I've realized something: I am a nice person. So... why is that a bad thing? Well- I'm not sure the people I'm closest to would necessarily agree with that. I'm sometimes very moody and easily upset when I get stressed out.

And I feel like something that might be what is stressing me out is that I'm TOO nice to... people that I should probably be a little tougher with. I feel like people might be under the impression that I don't have a backbone when it comes to some things... and that isn't something I want people to think. I might be too trusting of people which can sometimes make me gullible... and that's just not something I really think I am. It just ends up stressing me out and then I feel like I'm not nice enough to the people I love.

So... yeah I would like to continue being the nicest person that I can be... but I also don't want anyone to do anything fishy and for me to be like fine with that I guess? This is a hard thing to explain- but essentially I don't want to waste my energy being overly nice to people that aren't nice to me in the hopes that that will make them nicer or like me more... it just hasn't been working and enough people I love actually love me that I shouldn't be worried about everyone liking me.

I hope this has helped in some way and maybe no one that reads this will be a pushover in 2020 because I'm really not a pushover and I don't want people thinking I am.

Bye!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
