A Cheerful Reality: The Life of A Blogger

{via}

Bloggers lives can seem to be made up solely of pretty spaces and faces about 98% of the time. 

In reality, things are truly only glam about 8% of the time (with 7% of it being staged) while the rest of the time we gratefully slip our flats and lounge-pants back on.

I thought it would be fun to share a few facts that show how un-glamorous my life is.

Writing is and will always be my first love but I work full-time at an 

engineering firm that specializes in nuclear engineering.

At least once a day I am astounded by just how fortunate I truly am.

I do not see that ever changing.

My vices are beautiful bags, brunching al fresco, blowouts, fruity/chewy candy, 

episodes of Real Housewives Anywhere and great music (to name a few!)

When I was young I made a “vision book” out of a Moleskine instead of a 

vision board because I had so many dreams they did not fit on one board.

Several years later while flipping through it I was struck not only by how many things I had achieved and attained, but most importantly the ones I could now see truly mattered.

I never grew up dreaming about my fantasy wedding or prince charming. 

Even now, I feel comfort in confidently doing anything and everything on my own (even dining!)

I would rather be well liked and respected by a small few than known by many.

I am so thankful for each and every one of you that visits my blog, whether you 

leave a comment or not. Thank you, you are a part of my dreams that are coming true.

Tell me a fact about yourself if you dare!
