My house's decor is a jumble waiting to be cleared for a minimalist style, sequel to the unfortunate events of the death in my family. My own room is a ring arrangement, all the furniture and decorations are placed around the walls, with a open space for multiple uses.

Thank you for your concern, we're still waiting for our turn to make the last rites. There is a high level of deaths related to the outbreak, keeping all in a queue for services.

One thing I did was make a memorial pet

my home is pretty messy but that's because my mom and i live together since i moved back home after college. my room itself is quite neat though, it's tidy. definitely trying to get rid of some things, though, and par down my clothing.

I've been thinking about how to reduce my clothes. lol it's getting to be way too much. i want to be minimal but i looooove clothes too much. I took some items to consign today and they didn't take much. i need to get rid of stuff! a capsule wardrobe sounds really fun though, is that what you're doing?

overall I'm trying to work on my happiness, it's been too long and I'm desperately in need of fixing this. The mini goals are for weight loss/being more active/eating better, paying off some debt and improving my work/life balance which I am trying to achieve by getting my CAPM/PMP and hopefully finding another job. :) I've got a ways to go but I am making progress on 2 of the 3 at least (weight and debt) so I'm happy about that.

As for my house decorating, it's all over the place lol I do tend to lean towards boho styles the most but (and this ties in to my goals) I change things up often. I'm not sure what the other styles are though.

I can only really decorate my own room since I'm living with my family again. I've been slowly buying some more decorative things after not being able to decorate on my own for years. I'm leaning more towards a clean, modern style. Lots of white with pops of colour, especially pink. :) It's sort of a Scandinavian vibe and I've got some cozy lights too.

I've only been here for a few months and most of my money was going towards rent, bills + Christmas gifts so I haven't got too many decorative thing yet. Slowly working on it but I'm enjoying what I have so far!

Today's question:

Is there something you would tell your younger self if you could?

[I]My personal answer: [/i] "Keep staying true to yourself but maybe try to cut back on being an impudent little brat every once in a while. It's for your own good." 😂 Other than that I wouldn't say much because I have to make the experiences myself and if I was guided in some sort of way I probably wouldn't be who I am today :)

[Spoiler=for sillycat81] I am so happy for you that it's been going in the right direction! I bet it must be really hard to stay focused on these goals and keep going but you are doing it! You can be really proud of yourself :) [/Spoiler]

Oh, of course there would be some advice I would tell myself, but not to 'child-me' but '20-21 year old me' :D

• The first would be about universities. I started at one but left before I graduated. Then I returned a few semesters later, then after a year I left again. And after all this I went to another university (in my hometown) on the same programme (at this time I already had a job) and finally graduated but have never been this tired before. After I left the first time I would say to myself to go straight to the other school and continue the same programme there and graduate waaay earlier. But starting at the first school was an important experience I needed.

-I would also tell to myself to start to save up money for braces and my own place

And also: -"Do not stop horseriding for God's sake, just go elsewhere to learn and leave that unprofessional place behind!"

:D

Only really to 25 year old me... GO HOME.

I don't know when it's going to happen as of yet, I'm waiting on some stuff before I can start seriously looking at houses, I just know it WILL happen and we need to be ready. Love your HA!

- They miss the kids at school, of course, but they are coping quite well. One sits at the computer for the 6 hours of school, interacting with the teacher and her classmates. The other is getting frustrated. She feels she isn't getting enough work because the teacher has to give the other kids time to catch up. She spends her time reading and doing puzzles to pass her school day.

As for what I would tell my younger self.... Don't doubt yourself! Never doubt yourself because you'll forget who you are and what you're capable of doing. But then...Everything happens for a reason, even a moment of self doubt. :)

What would I tell my younger self? Accept the help.

Sorry for not responding to your last couple pings on here, I kind of lost track of the conversation and honestly felt too lazy to find it again. But I'm here fresh?

Thanks :) It's a struggle, I'm not gonna lie. I work at a desk all day and I don't get up and move like I should. Though I have to admit, working remote is helping nicely with the debt part since I can cook every single one of my meals now. Also, this leads in nicely to today's question :) I'd definitely tell myself to do everything possible to stay active on a daily basis.

Aww thank you! :) I love yours too! Glitter + rainbows = ❤

Thank you ❤

Is there something you would tell your younger self if you could?

Oh oof, so many things! My younger self wouldn't listen, though. I guess I'd just tell them that they won't always be as anxious and depressed as they were then, that things actually will get better (since I'm obviously still around to tell them this) and to get the hell out of Dodge ASAP. Get treatment for everything, focus on school and get a job in a better place. Oh, and don't give up your dreams for anyone, even if you love them with all your heart at the time.

Take your treatment seriously, just because it takes time to feel any effect doesn't make it ineffective. I'd tell my 12 year old self after being diagnosed.

I'd tell my seven year old self to just let that slide. Words can hurt, but letting them hurt is even more damaging.

oh yeah, the hand me down struggle is real. I've been getting a TON of used clothes for free and its been making reducing my closet so difficult! they're all really nice clothes so I'm super torn on selling or donating. and then since i run a business selling clothes, that also doesn't help LOL.

we should challenge ourselves to do a capsule wardrobe and send each other daily pics. that would be cute haha.

q: always kicking my younger self, but i am relatively happy w/ the decisions i made. though i would have left my ex a lot sooner. :p

My house is ... interesting. What I'd tell my child self... "Enjoy it while you can kiddo. Keep doing the things you are. Go barefoot, drink out of the garden hose, climb trees, care for farm animals, and ride the neighbors brahma bull bareback on a dare. You'll be buying bottled water in less than half a century cause people are wrecking the world..." No, on second thought, I'd tell my teenage self to stop slacking off in school..., not that I'd have listened.

I have 7 pets overall : 1 leopard gecko, 2 sugar gliders and 4 red eared sliders. I didn't mean to have that many RES though. 2 of them were a gift to my colleague but they can't take care of it anymore and so I took their red eared sliders in too.

Hi!

I have 2 pets currently, both cats.

Notch is my boy, he's a 3 legged rescue. When we got him he had 4 legs but was hit by a car. The little guy not only managed to get home but managed to jump through a high window to get back to us. He never leaves my side.

Nubbs is a rescue Manx. She's been with us now for a few years and is just starting to settle properly. She's a lovely cat though is much more timid than Notch. She prefers the quiet and to sit with you on her terms.

Today's question:

What does your idea of a perfect date look like?

[I]My personal answer: [/i] [IMG]https://media4.giphy.com/media/snr51Qmnalxok/giphy.gif[/img] Sooooo guess who watched Miss Congeniality again after what feels like a billion years? And I realized that what we are doing here is kind of like the question part in pageants which is why I will go through the most common pageant questions with you guys in the upcoming days (if they are not referring to the pageant itself, of course). We actually already covered a few of the typical pageant questions in the past. But to start things off, I just had to use this iconic question from the movie.

I will reply to you guys soon, just had to roll this one out first. <3

My actual answer: My perfect date would probably be to go scuba diving together first and then spend the rest of the day at a beautiful beach, talking and picnicking :) Living in a place where there is currently snow here, you can imagine this isn't really an option here... 😂

Don't have any.

Never been on a date in my life and don't think I ever will.
