Future Career

I will be graduating in a week with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am beyond excited about this. 

{Side note: I am walking before my degree completion, so I will be in school all Summer to complete my last 4 core classes}

I am starting the Master's program in MFT and LPCC at the end of August, and I am even more excited about that. Lots of excitement going on around here :)) One thing that I have noticed lately is how much my education has changed me. It is a beautiful and welcomed change. I have learned to be a more compassionate person, which is a blessing, I think. It is not that I lacked compassion before, but more so patience for mistakes. 

Growing up, I witnessed a lot of family members make really horrible mistakes and I never understood why. I have always had this very black and white view of morality. There is right and there is wrong. There is no grey area where circumstances matter. But, as I have grown up a bit and I have learned so much about human beings, I have learned that circumstances do matter.

So, as I get closer to my degree completion, I am overwhelmed with the possibility of who I will be at that point. I look forward to those I can help, the hearts I can heal and the minds I can open. Psychology is a fairly new field of study (about 100 years old), and it is complex, but it is also {{beautiful}}. So cheers to my future career and the endless possibilities that this road will offer.

2/30 (catch up from yesterday)

Here is number 2/30:

Trying to learn how to love and accept myself. This 30 day challenge is quite a challenge, but I am hoping it will help me on my journey to appreciate myself.

Can We Talk About Heartbreak for a Second?

I've had my heart broken a lot lately. It sucks, it is not just from one person. Many relationships within my family are not healthy and someone close to me has fit a few jabs in there recently as well.I just feel so sad. Sad that sometimes (almost all the time) it is impossible to only surround myself with positive loving people. What does it feel like to reach that point in life where you can stand on your own two feet and have the freedom to only be around who you want? I'm working really hard in school right now, I'm building the foundation to create the life that I want- I guess it is not happening as fast as I would like though. I suppose that sometimes one just has to accept that some people really do suck, ans heartbreak is inevitable. I'm gonna go think about something happy and I will post about that soon.
