Evaluate Your Time

Everyone's time is valuable and precious so spend it wisely. For myself, I find being organized to be very important because it keeps me on top of my due dates and also helps me plan out my time. I love creating a to-do list for myself to complete so that after I finish a task I can cross it off and there is nothing better than crossing off things off the list when they are done. I also find my phone calendar and also a paper calendar of the month to be very helpful to keep myself organized so I don't miss important appointments and such.

Quotes that have helped me find inspiration in the things I enjoy doing, but when I may have a bad day and or just rough times in life. Some of the quotes I have on my desktop and read quite daily and those include appreciate life as it happens moments will soon pass as you wish you treasured them. "You will never have this day again to make this day count."
"Don't survive, thrive."

Evaluating your time in your life and becoming more organized will definitely help you become more successful in your life and a stronger individual.

Recovery Week

On March 9^th I had surgery on my birthmark on my cheek. Honestly, I cannot think of an exact number of surgeries that I have had in the past and currently still having because there is just too many to count, but definitely over a dozen. Today is day five of recovery and my swelling has gone down tremendously since the day I had surgery. Little by little day by day, the swelling begins to go down and I can begin to see the yellowness around my eye fade away in the distance. I know I am not the only one with this condition in the world because I have meet many different individuals in the past that have a very similar birthmark to that of mine, so I know that I am not alone on this journey. I am just so thankful for all my amazing family members, friends, and my incredible boyfriend that keeps me on my toes. The last couple of days have been very slow and I give lots of time to think about life and what is all going on because I personally prefer to stay home with loving family and not going into public because I just don’t want to experience everyone asking me “what in the world happen to you”, “do you feel safe at home”, “did you crash or something.” Those are just some of the things that people have said in the past to me and or my mom and it just makes my heart sink that people would have the courage to say such negative things to my mom and me without knowing anything about my life and what I have through. Yesterday marked my first day out and about and it felt so good to be outside and go into public again. It’s just so hard that I feel as though I have to stay home because of the looks I will receive and to be honest I am thinking that is reality unfortunately. I was born with this birthmark and I will have this beauty mark for the rest of my life and forever on, but that’s totally fine with me. My birthmark may have different colors that catch more attention than the average person and people often stare at me because they don’t know what to say, think, or do. It’s just difficult when your family and friends aren’t in your shoes so they often times don’t experience what I am feeling. I guess everyone is born uniquely different and that makes for a diverse society that makes people who they are.
