WIP – Work in Progress… I would definitely have an issue when it comes to sharing with friends of anything potentially happening. Then, it would backfire, or I feel like I am losing part of my soul. Funny enough, I have noticed the more I have stayed silent about working areas in my life, the more abundance I have gained. I definitely do feel like all my manifestations are starting to enter my reality in 2023. Yes, this is probably the most jampacked school schedule I have had in a while. In addition, more socials to be a part of. I am thankful for having the ability to do more with my life. But it is also learning how to not extend yourself. My father always tells me that I have been extending… and he is right.

Every week, I usually have to choose between multiple hangouts with multiple people. That is definitely your normal college week if you are involved with Greek Life. Today, I had to choose between getting dinner with the girls or go on a luxury date. I chose being with the girls… why? It was pre-planned for a couple of weeks, and it is important to maintain the relationship. At the end of the day, who will be there for you all the time? The girls.

It is important to set standards for yourself when you are about to start a relationship. You do not want to get love bombed or spend too much time with the person. 3 times a week is personally my limit. In addition, I do not want to prioritize one guy over my best friends.

I remembered when I felt set to the side just because a guy technically controlled one of my best friends WHOLE LIFE. It felt like I was an afterthought, and it is absolutely the worst feeling ever. In addition, you are left with picking up the pieces if and when they break up.

Getting back to my point of WIP… I only have a set of friends I tell everything about. I have learned to limit spilling my secrets. I only aim for 2. My roommate and this one girl who genuinely believes in me and is extremely excited for everything I do.

WIP works because it creates surprises for yourself and others. It is, in a way, nice. Not everyone has to know every chapter, except for my parents. I do try to refrain from telling them much about my love life because I genuinely do not know what is going to happen within the next week.

But I always update them on my career. Which would be interview progress or how the interviewer asks me questions. If I do not, they simply think I am a party animal, which is not true at the slightest.

People tend to underestimate me. My outer family thinks I am a spoiled party girl when I am actually a hardworking career woman that has her dreams and goals set.
