On The Playlist for August 2022

On the playlist is a way to review the previous month. We go through life just moving and we forget all the things that we’ve experienced. We tend to forget the memories we’ve created, the songs we had on repeat for that moment in time, and even the scent that we burned. When I reflect back I want to remember some of those things. These are the things that make you reminisce on a moment, it could either be good or bad. I try to make the best out of the moments. And so with that being said here is what is on the playlist for August 2022.

Listening: This month I was really feeling DVSN “Between Us” there was a line in the song that Snoh Alegra sung and from there on I listened to it at least three times a day lol.

Usher’s “Don’t Waste My Time” was the song that hyped me up before going out.

Reading: Gucci Mane’s “Guide to Greatness” as well as “The Millionaire Real Estate Agent” by Gary Keller

Watching: “One Tree Hill”

Doing: Writing lots of blogs (If you would like to request anything in particular please leave a comment) and taking lots of real estate classes.

Most used app: Google Calendar… This hasn’t changed from last month and I think from now on, it may be my forever “most used” app.

Social of choice: Twitter is the winner here. I have been consistent over there. Its a place to get some of my thoughts out. I tweet once a day and that is a lot lol.

Beverage of choice: August was the month of the cocktail. I had so many happy hours this month with zero complaints.

Favorite Personal Blog: “10 Great Reasons to Like A Guy” has to be my most favorite article that I have ever written. This one had me thinking deeply.

Favorite outside blog: The Science of People

Scent burning: Alpine Lake.

In the month of August I spent a lot of time feeling free. Let me tell you what I mean by that… I got with my ex husband at the ripe age of 19, we wasted no time, so when I was in my 20’s I was working, going to classes, married, raising my daughter and being a “responsible’ adult. Fast forward 20 years later to current and now I am divorced with a 17 (almost 18) year old.

This summer, particularly August, was the time that I lived out my 20’s. I had happy hours, girls nights, took my FIRST shot EVER in life, been to two (and a half) parties, danced, walked blocks in four inch stilettoes laughing with my friends, stayed out until almost 3am, stayed out all night laughing and just had a great time. This summer was epic. I have never had a summer like this before and I needed a summer like this after coming off of a divorce and the world changing due to the current circumstances.

They say that your 20’s are for self discovery. I wouldn’t regret not enjoying my 20’s in my 20’s for anything in the world. I like where I am now. This is the life that I am currently living and I am in a good place. I tend to think of myself as safe, responsible and boring, but not this summer. This summer I was, as the kids say, I was “outside”.
