Something Random for the Weekend

Hey everyone! I don’t have much to say today! It’s Friday and I have had a very busy week. This was my second week of my new job and I feel as though I am slowly getting use to things around here. I am honestly enjoying it here thus far, and I hope I continue to (My track record with work is a little crazy). Any who, I known I have spoken a lot about bettering myself, and also working hard to get out and live. I can honestly say that I am doing better. I haven’t done much of anything, but I do see how free and fulfilling it can be to try to live for once.

So, what do you have planned for the weekend? Is your weekend going to be all work, play, or a little bit of both? I know mines is a lot of work and I do get to have a little fun which makes it all better. Also, there’s a lot that I am still worried about, but I am learning to pray more about filling my spirit with positive things and giving my worries to God. I believe that its working and that things should get better as time goes on.

Welp! I know this was a totally random post, but who cares right? Any ways if I can give you something to take with you today, don’t forget to live, love, and be you this weekend. That might not sound like much, but I feel as though those few things can make a difference!

Love and Blessings,

Asia Walter

Take A Chance This Summer

My goals for this summer? Hmm… I honestly can’t tell you what I want to do or expect. I know I will be doing some working, but I won’t only be doing that for sure. I’m sure I’ll be looking forward to the upcoming pageant that I will be a part of! And, also figuring out my next route to finishing school. Of course, I can’t forget about having some fun and adventures! Below I listed some day trip ideals, places to travel, and events that will be going on in Texas this summer that you can explore. Even if you live out of state, some of these ideals can still help you find little things to do in the summer. Hope it helps!

Open Your Heart

It’s a struggle and simply impossible to have a perfect relationship, but as time goes on I feel as though I just simple fail at relationships. Especially when it has to do with a relationship with a significant other. I seem to never get it right, but after some self-evaluation. I think I have found the possible problem, and I think I can shed some light on some of those issues and help others with the same problem.

Any who, I haven’t dated many guys any way. I had my first boyfriend when I was 18, and I simply thought that relationship failed due to the lack of communication, and that it possibly wasn't meant to be. But, as soon as I met my amazing and EVER so patience boyfriend. I started to realize some familiar and unconscious actions that I would make in my relationship, and they weren't healthy.

You see, I am a person that has been known to not let many people into my world. I would always keep people at a distance and only allow them to come close, but not too close. So, with that being said. I also brought that behavior into my relationship, and many know if you’re not open in your relationship. It cannot continue to grow, and that’s what occurred.

I have made a conscious decision to work on myself so that I won’t continue to push away my boyfriend. It’s easier said than done, but I truly believe if I work hard enough that will change. I know now that communication is very important, and it is also extremely important to remember to talk about the things that you don’t feel comfortable or have questions about. This rule is not only for people in relationships with significant others, but this goes for all relationships. All relationships take work, and if you can take anything from this post today. Remember to stay open to the one’s you love, learn to trust, and don’t be afraid of getting hurt. You only have one life, one Chance so make the best of everything you can in life. 

Making Time for the One's You Love

                                       

As we go on throughout our lives, it is sometimes hard to keep up and manage the things that are most important to us.  Sometimes with relationships we can just push the ones we love and care about in a corner until we have “enough” time to dedicate ourselves to them. Being in relationships of any kind can be hard to manage and sometimes we just have to stop and make time for the ones we truly care about. Below are some tips and inspirational links to help anyone acquire this.

Let It Go

                                          

Hey everyone! I know my last post was a bit emotional and could have been kind of depressing in a way, but I wanted to post it anyway because it was truly how I felt. I am in a continuous process of trying to prune myself, and open up my heart to everyone I hold dear. I might sound something simple to do, but for me it’s like ripping off an old band aid that doesn't seem to want to leave my skin. So today I simply want to encourage anyone who is reading this to not give up on whatever is bothering you,  or has been hard to obtain in your life. Because I feel when a person gives up that’s when they truly fail. 

So, whatever you might be going through, contemplating, or is simply confused about. Give it to God, walk away, and forget about it. As soon as you are able to do that I truly believe you will be set free from whatever is holding you down. I know for my elf this has been an ongoing  learning process, and it takes some time to grasp, but I believe that if I can do it, anyone can. I’m simply a 21 year girl who is trying to find herself all over again, and I know that the only way I can find out who I am and what God wants from me is to just LET Go.

Believe me it’s hard and it is very frustrating, but give it a try. Try to set your problems down, turn around and walk away from it, because it’s not worth wasting your precious life over. Even if this piece is speaking to only one person and it helps them to live a life that is more fulfilling I am beyond grateful I am able to offer some help. I am beyond perfect, but I pray the things that I have learned  so far can be some use to somebody.

Much love,

AsiaJ

Humility?

I wanted to talk about a word that I have been striving to be more like lately. Humility. I want engaged this word to the core and learn how to show humility, be more humble, and display       meekness just as Jesus did. If you are interested in knowing what this word truly means. Check out the links below.

The Random Truth

As I get older I start to realize that I am beginning to learn who I truly am all over again. I’ve spent most of my teenage years and beginning of young adulthood trying to protect and shield myself from things and situations thought as wrong and reckless. But I was actually building a false perception of how I thought God wanted me to be, and how He wanted me to live. What I have discovered is that all of the times I have been trying to change me to be a “better” person, and be the so called perfect person I obviously thought I could actually obtain. I was missing the whole point. I realize that I have forgotten how to live, and I merely exist.

Even to admit this fault burns a hole of hurt inside of me that I can’t quite explain or understand. Even with that hurt, I’m still not sure what I am supposed to do to learn how to live again. I honestly don’t want to spend my whole life existing and waiting for something that might not ever come. I feel like I exist in a box that I only open on special occasions to let the ones I love most come visit, and honestly I know that’s no way to live.

I’m hurting inside, and I don’t know how to fix it. For some reason I feel that God has given me outlets, but I just can’t seem to access them. So many thoughts and so many questions are in my head about myself and how I want to learn how to live again. I don’t have the answers, but I do know that I will go and try… to find them.  And, if the answers are not there or if they aren’t what I have expected, at least I would have lived trying to find them instead of just existing.
