Today, I did a thing. I stopped living for the day “You” come into my life. Stopped waiting for the day “when I finally get the new house, car or whatever”. I started living and using the things I have available to me now. I started Living again. There was a time in my life when I know I was living. But the older I got and the less “things” I thought I should have weren’t present in my life, the more I tried to control the things I thought I did have.
Needless to say, I still ended up with what appeared to be Nothing. That is, until I started seeing the things I wanted being used and Enjoyed on YouTube. Thanks to StyledbyCasanova, AtHomeWithNikki, LivingLuxuriouslyforLess, LifestylewithMelonie and HenandLonvlogs just to name a few, I decided that I would start using and Enjoying the things I currently have (and planned to buy) right now. I learned how to decorate, celebrate and Enjoy everyday life…all by myself.
The taco bar pictured above was the first of many things I did for myself. And judging by the requests for an invitation to my next taco bar night, I did pretty darn good. I’m not saying that I didn’t do things for myself before – I’ve always gotten myself flowers. But no one else has to be around for them to be Enjoyed. I learned this same principle with the taco bar. As long as I was satisfied with the results (yes, I ate good), no one else was required to be a part of taco night.
Just because I’m single does not mean that the only way I can Enjoy things is in its simplest form. This taco bar proved that I can “go all out” just for Me. Sure, this way I had even more dishes to wash. But guess what, even if “You” were there, I’d still have just as many dishes to clean – maybe even more. So, I’m proud of me for having done this for Me. I really appreciated it: it brought a smile to my face.
