Little Alexx Blog

I honestly cannot wait until it is so hot outside that I am melting. Sounds dramatic but honestly, my body can’t take this cold much longer. Having lived in the Midwest my whole life, I should be used to the cold, but man, it hurts my body, down to my bones. Ouch. Of course, now that I’m living a state over, it is slightly warmer (maybe a two degree difference) but the wind is K I L L E R. Maybe when I’m older, I’ll get smarter and live somewhere in the desert. One can dream.

Really great feedback last week! I’m honestly really happy with how far this blog has gone. I was honestly surprised with how much support I have gotten. My mom has bugged me starting one for a long time, but it took me a bit to get comfortable enough to actually publish to someone other than my family. Thank you for your kind words.

Had a great time this weekend with Mitchell! Glad I got to show him around my new home in Arkansas and we got some really really great photos. 

I don’t have time to waste. I was just talking to my roommate Sierra about this last night. We were talking about people wasting our time. I think my time is extremely valuable (which everyone should think about their time). I understand that we think we have all the time in the world, but the world is passing us by.

The average human life is 79 years. That is 692,040 hours. At 20 years old, I have lived 175,200 hours. The brief 4 years we have in college (on average) is 35,040 hours.

Granted, this may seem like a lot but consider that we spend half of our life sleeping, watching Netflix, eating, showering, and driving. The rest of those hours should be spent better educating ourselves, establishing relationships, exploring the world, and figuring out our lives. The point of what I am saying, which I hope that you will understand is that none of this petty stuff matters. Truly. Because 20 years from now, the drama will disappear from your mind and you will be left with the memories that shaped who you are. Do you know that feeling after a semester or a day’s work and think, ‘man I really could have done better if only I cared just a little more’? You know how you kind of feel bad because if only you had studied harder or maybe went to class more, you would have done better? We feel bad, don’t we? I personally don’t want to experience that feeling when I look back on my life, that feeling of regret. I never want to feel regret. I have come to terms with all of my decisions so far in my life and I don’t plan on changing that idea any time soon. Live your life to the fullest, because this is the only one you have (in this body at least). On a side note, if reincarnation is real, I would want to come back as a Giant Redwood Tree or a Beluga whale because I’m sorry, they are so FREAKING cute.

As I was living home this morning for my class (and braving the cold), I really felt an appreciation for how great my roommate is. So, I was living alone for the better portion of the fall semester and one day, she moved in. It is a really great feeling to come home to a (CLEAN) place and a happy person. We both work and are constantly going going going and when we get home from a long day, it really makes me feel appreciated and loved when I can just relax and hang out with someone who gets me. So, thank you for that, Sierra. Also thank you for dealing with sweaty me after a work out or not helping you keep your diet by offering you cake at 11 o’clock at night. Roommates are scary because we don’t know who the hell we are living with but I’m so glad I have you!

Really love how slow and sweet this song is, but has such a powerful meaning behind it. Enjoy. “So let’s love fully, and let’s love loud, and let’s love now, cause soon enough we’ll die.”

Today’s Mantra:

“I AM stepping beyond my comfort zone to create my dreams.”

LOVE this life you have been given.
