What Is Career Baggage? Are You Carrying Some?

What Is Career Baggage? Are You Carrying Some?

December 15, 2020 · Career, Lifestyle

Today, I am angry to be a resident of Texas.

It’s a hard thing, to realize you live in a state whose government cares so little about you. A state that cares more about making sure everyone can get a gun with out training or a license then they do about women being able to make choices for themselves.

Because here is the thing… this was never about being pro-life, it’s about control. If it was about being pro life, these people would also support programs to support that life after it’s been brought into the world but they don’t. Instead they support putting bounties on women for making medical decisions about their own bodies.

I and women in general have watched as the government has declared that we don’t deserve the basic right to our own bodily autonomy. We don’t get that for ourselves but they are allowed those rights no matter what, even with something as simple as being asked to wear a mask that could protect others.

They passed a law with no exceptions, not for medical need, not for rape or incest. They passed a law telling us we have no choice but to be forced to be an incubator.

Regardless of how you feel about abortions this is wrong. Forcing childbirth on someone who doesn’t want it is wrong. Putting bounties on women’s heads is wrong. Forcing someone to do something that in no way affects you or your life is wrong.

Today, I am angry to live in Texas.

I had a photo pop up today on Facebook memories of

I wanna be honest with you guys. You haven't been

I wanna be honest with you guys. You haven't been seeing much of me on here in the last even year or so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a reason for it...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started to hate instagram and this journey I started. I would spend hours "engaging" with people, trying to find new ways to create content people would find interesting, and working on a "strategy" to beat the algorithm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It got to the point where if I had to post one more "oh you look so cute!" or "I loooovvvee that dress" type comment I was going the throw my phone across the room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And all for what? To be honest in the last year I can't even remember why I started doing this in the first place. I spent hours scrolling through images that looked the same, leaving comments that weren't meaningful all for the sake of numbers and a future I wasn't even sure about anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the worst part is, everyone around me seemed to be succeeding at it. And here I was almost 3 years in still struggling. I felt broken, like failure. Why was the other girl getting thousands of followers a day and I was not after 2k after 3 years? I kept trying to make sense of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something that started as a way for me to boost my confidence and share my petite life with you, became a somewhat of a facade as I lost sight of things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone tells you to be authentic on social media, yet very few people seem to actual be. Me among them. I hated the pressure of having to past right 5 and checking my phone every 10 mins to see how many likes I got. It didn't feel like authentic at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where did I go? How had I so managed to disappear into the smoke screen of social media? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The answer is... Its easy. Its so easy to compare yourself to others, to wonder why you aren't as successful, as outgoing, as pretty, smart . I was ashamed to have become that person because I am so proud of who I am the parts, I share here, and the parts I don't.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The whole point of starting a blog was so I could work for myself. So If I am gonna do it shouldn't I do it my way?

I was having to much fun as a blonde so I decided
