Friday Realizations & Thoughts!

Published October 4, 2019 by Shay Taree

So yesterday I came to a realization that really spoke to me. Yesterday I found out a friend of mine got a new and it’s a good job. So I found myself comparing my currently job, life, etc to her job, life, etc. It’s safe to say that me having those thoughts didn’t make me feel very good.

I was left feeling inadequate and wanting to make a change. Well I decided to do that by looking for a new job. It wasn’t until I got home from work that I really started thinking. Was I looking for a new job because I wanted one/needed one or was I looking so that I can try and compete with my friend or try and keep up with her?

The conclusion I came to was that I wanted to keep up with her and I was really afraid of falling behind. This is a great fear of mine. I fear not being successful in my life, I fear my friends leaving me behind, and I fear not living up to my potential.

So this morning when I thought about what I really want and what I want my career to be. The same thought came to my mind and it was entertainment. It’s something I’ve always gravitated towards and I know it’s the path I want to follow. But now how to do it. That part I don’t know but I’m gonna figure it out.

For now though I’m just happy that I came to this conclusion. Also now I plan to continue following my dreams and going to continue working on staying true to myself.

I guess to leave everyone with a questions is what’s something that you fear and what’s something that you want to accomplish?

How Has Anime Inspired You?

Published October 1, 2019 by Shay Taree

As I’m sure you know many of us watch anime for many different reasons. Some for the art, some for the dialogue, and some for the adventure. But now I wonder if anime has ever inspired you in the real world?

For me I can honestly say that it has. Anime has inspired me to be myself. It also helped me with being confident. Well maybe not anime overall but particular shows or characters inspired me to work on myself.

Also it sometimes inspired my style. There are definitely times that I remember watching a show and then trying to copy some of the characters more simpler styles. You know the ones that didn’t require 0 gravity to actually do. But the girls ponytails or bangs I used to try and copy.

Also many of the outfits that the characters wore would inspire me to look beyond my style and look for things I found to be really cute.

Writing this post made me realize that anime has inspired me a lot. I mean even this blog and my YouTube channel are inspired by anime. Without anime I don’t think that I would’ve started either. Anime gave me a hobby that I enjoy and also many friends.

So has anime inspired you? If so then in what ways? Think hard and if you like you can share your thoughts in the comments.

Highlight Of The Week?

Published September 27, 2019 by Shay Taree

So today is Friday and I don’t know about everyone else but today has felt like both a short but also long week. But I’m curious as to what was the highlight of your week? What are you happy about that happened this week? What are you proud of yourself for doing? Or what did you accomplish. The ideas are limitless.

For me my highlight of this week is that I’m proud of myself for going to the doctor for my checkup. I’m terrified of doctors but when I went this time my new doctor was really nice and helped me feel at ease. Yes I did shed some tears because I was nervous but overall it went well.

Another highlight was being able to finish the anime Carole & Tuesday. It was a great show with amazing music. It also helped me to accomplish having a new anime review video for my YouTube channel.

So what was your highlight of this week? I would love to read them!

A New Recent Find!

Published September 15, 2019 by Shay Taree

So just this weekend I discovered something that was pretty amazing, relaxing, and inspiring. What I discovered was lofi hip-hop, jazz music. I know that this has been around for some time and I had been really interested in it but never took the chance to listen to it. But this weekend I did and I’m happy I did.

The reason why I finally decided to listen to it is because in the mornings I usually journal and I did want to watch YouTube or anything so I found this instead. This ended up being amazing and really helped me to relax while journaling.

So I definitely recommend listening to this if your doing something like studying, journaling or writing in general, falling asleep, reading, or just anything inbetween. I will leave links down below to the videos that I listened to this weekend. Definitely check them out!

What Are You Thankful For?

Published September 12, 2019 by Shay Taree

I can’t exactly remember if I’ve wrote about this before but if I have then I’m sorry. But if not then I hope that you enjoy this post.

The main reason why I chose this topic is because I’m sure that you see everywhere people talking about that you should be thankful for what you have. People also say a lot that you should have a grateful heart.

For me this is something that I’ve been taking seriously for the past 6 months. Every morning I write down 5 things that I’m grateful for. This could be something small or something large. Honestly the list is endless and it’s an amazing practice.

For me I’m thankful for how creative I can be, being able to move my body, my family, my friends, and so many other things. Writing down the things I’m thankful for everyday has really changed my perspective on a lot of things. It’s also helped me to realize that I have a lot to be thankful for and I need to try and stop striving for more when I can even appreciate what I already have.

Overall I definitely suggest you try this practice. You don’t have to write down 5 things you could write only 3 things if you like. I also suggest that you really dig deep about things your thankful for, and as a challenge try to write different things everyday.

So what are you thankful for? If you like you can comment down below something that your thankful for. I would love to read them.

Has Your Hobby Positively Influenced Your Life?

Published September 10, 2019 by Shay Taree

When I saw this question online I figured that this would be a great topic since for me it’s definitely a yes.

Before I literally just watched anime because it was something that I enjoyed but now it’s turned into much more than that. Anime has caused me to branch out and do things that I never thought that I would do.

Because of anime it’s caused me to start a YouTube channel and blog talking about it which is something I didn’t think I would do. Pursuing those things is something that I never thought was possible because I didn’t know what to talk about. But now it’s opened up so many opportunities such as podcasts, meeting some of my favorite voice actors, and of course meeting so many new friends in this community.

It’s also helped me make friends outside of the online community. I didn’t realize that so many of my friends liked anime and now I have other friends to go to cons with.

Another thing that it helped me out with is confidence in not caring what people think about my hobby. Plus it’s also helped me to embrace the other hobbies that I’ve learned to enjoy such as self care, reading, and also other nerdy topics like comic books and video games.

So have any of your hobbies positively influenced your life? Comment your answer and I’m very interested in reading what you all have to say.
