Growing up & a lil update

What is growing up to you? Is it having a child? Changing your lifestyle? Owning your own things? Realizing right from wrong and choosing right? Saying no to yourself? What is it?

Growing up is different to each individual. No two people can argue when one believes they have grown. Why? Because when someone is saying they have grown up, they are measuring their own life habits and lifestyles, and noticing the differnet steps they've taken. Whether the change is agreeing with your own definition or not doesn't matter.

Lately, I catch myself thinking "Wow, I've really grown up" when it comes to specific situations that I have dealt with in the past. My outcome and decisions on how to go about certain things has drastically changed. Is it better? I think so. One very big portion is the fact that I care less what others have to say about my life. That can be taken as a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on who am I referring to.

I say it's a good thing.

I haven't been blogging as much, and I do miss it. I am currently really, really into YouTube and working towards gaining a bigger audience. I would truthfully be satisfied with 1,000 subscribers. To me, that would be amazing. I am right now at 278. I started to use my YouTube account in July 2011. I am hoping for 500 subs by July 2012. I believe it's possible.

I  took a semester off school this year. It.is.AMAZING. I have so much more time for.. anything. I've made a gym routine and stuck to it. I work a lot more, and of course have all that extra time for YouTube and other things. I know I have to go back, though. I'll enjoy it while I can.

I am turning 23 in less than a week. I am excited, because 23 is my second favorite number. No reason. Just a cool number to me.

To the people who read my blog--if you leave a comment and inquire advice or help or video ideas ect, please leave an email or something if your comment requires a reply. I've gotten some very interesting comments, but I really do not know how to reply and I do want to give feedback..I'd appreciate some kind of communication..

Twitter me if you must. @suma1ra

Until next time...take care!

Ever been caught in a state of questioning yourself as to whether you should keep someone on your social media account? We've all been there. If you're questioning it, must be some reason behind it. Anyone you're thinking twice about needs to go. Could be a coworker, old acquaintance, an in-law, or just a person you no longer have interest in hearing from or seeing updates from. Just let em' go. It's your social media account, you have every right to weed out people. If anyone takes it personal that's on them. You are in charge of your own happiness. I've unfollowed and removed so many people on the simple basis that their posts are ignorant and annoying and they make me hate the publisher. Instead of hating anyone I just unfollow their feed. No more problems. Happy me! If the person is someone you actually dislike or have reason to remove that requires a more permanent basis I recommend blocking. Don't question it; just do it. Move

Not all pain is physical, and not all physical pain is visible.

I am so sick of crying. I hate feeling helpless and I hate being in pain.  When someone is crying and you ask, "hey what's wrong?" Normally, you expect an answer that gives something of an explanation as to why this person is crying. Humans are curious and want to know what causes things to happen.  When I cry and someone asks me what's wrong, I answer, "my lower back hurts again"  This may not sound like a reasonable explanation to someone who has never experienced lower back pain. Those words could easily to the unknowing person sound like "my stomach hurts" "my hand is cramping" things that are taken as common and fixable.  Well, allow me to give you some insight as to what the words "my lower back hurts again" really means, from my experience.  My back pain all started on Mother's Day 2013. I woke up excited to go fishing with my boyfriend and his family. I jumped out of bed, peed, and went to brush m

Supporting doesn't mean agreeing...

Supporting someone does NOT mean you must agree.. A common misconception in friendships and relationships....If I support you, I have to agree with you, and then I am being fake because I really do not agree... Who said you had to agree with the person? YOU DON'T! You...DON'T! You can support someone you love/care about and still not agree with what they are choosing to do. Support is simply you being there regardless of what happens...You believing in them, that they will in fact do their best and that is all they can do...You being there at the end whether it worked or failed...You will not say "haha, told you so" in case the plans don't go accordingly....support is many things..but it's not agreeing. How can you support someone and not agree? Well, it's easy! For example. Your best friend or sister [female] just decided she wants to be a stripper...You are very against this because of your personal/religious/whatever belief/morality. So, do you s
