This might make me come off as a callous and uncaring bitch....but....

^ This is an article regarding the crash that killed 3 teenagers in Chesterfield the other day. Everyone is making them out to be victims. Yes, it's sad that they died. But they deserved it. They were screwing around and acting irresponsibly while driving down a ridiculously busy road! They're victims of their own stupidity.

Reading articles like this makes my blood boil. Yes, I was a teen driver at one time. But I knew the risks and I've seen accidents, I'd been in a few minor fender benders (mind you, as a passenger). Only accident I've been in, was when a new teenage driver wasn't paying attention and rearended my Neon, totalling it. Luckily no one was hurt, but she was a idiot.

I know there is the teenage "god" mode where you think nothing can hurt you, but it isn't there. You're just as vulnerable as the rest of society. And when you pull stupid antics like that, there are consequences. And this time, their actions ended in their death and injury of others. Take responsibility, you're no victims, except of your own stupidity and so-thought immortality.

My takeaways and thoughts on "Unfuck Yourself: Get out of your head and into your life"

For 2020 I am going to try and actually read more. At minimum, I would like to finish at least one book a month. Doesn't matter if it's a novel, non-fiction, self-help, or self-development for my career. I bought this book, "Unfuck Yourself: Get out of your head and into your life" sometime in 2019 if I remember correctly. Started reading it - but I really wasn't in the right mindset in 2019 to read some of the books I did read in the self-development or self-help realm or even try and start. First half of the year was rather stressful and I felt quite sarcastic and bitter about a lot of things going on. Starting in September of 2019 - I was getting back into a better place mentally. And in December it really set in. So I picked it up again and started re-reading. (First go-round I may have gotten to page 30 if that). I totally recommend this book. I purchased the companion to it as well. This is one of the first books I actively highlighted sections in it ...

2018 is going to be a big year of changes...

So 2017 didn't end like I expected and 2018 is going to be an interesting year. In 2017 I filed for divorce. In 2018 it will be final and this will be the first time I will be single since I was 20 years old. In the aftermath of all that my life is drastically changing from a financial position for some time. I am required to pay both spousal and child support (even though custody is split evenly). While assessing my finances it looks like I'm going to have to buckle down substantially and declutter my life as much as possible in order to stay afloat. With that said I would like to continue writing as an outlet. I'm decluttering almost the entirety of my makeup collection because I need the cash I can get from that during this time or today. It will be a low buy to mostly no buy sort of year. But I thought I could explore more project panning. Also I want to write about ways I'm making ends meet. My instant pot is going to be my new best friend I think this y...

April, May, and June 2018 Empties

I am so far behind with this. I've been decently good at using up a lot of what I've had - including samples. This is a mixture of stuff I used between April, May, and June 2018. Life has been super busy so I've not had time to do a whole lot of writing - as much as I've wanted to. So much in one picture! I am actually pretty proud of myself for how much I've gone through. Some of the items are in closeups below. One of the items I didn't get a good picture of was the Farsali Unicorn Essence. I don't know how much this actually helps my skin - but I love the smell and I love the subtle shimmer. Only thing I don't particularly like is the price. I was lucky and acquired another one by swapping some of my unwanted makeup. I had quite a few of the Urban Decay foil samplers of the eyeshadow primer. I've always loved their eyeshadow primer and have used the Original or Enigma (finally dried out on me after a bit) and haven't used...
