This past week has been especially busy for me and I was racking my brain on what to write about for this week’s post. I then got the idea to have people submit questions on Instagram for me to answer here.
There are only a few questions but they are all very well thought out. I want to thank those who took the time to answer my plead on Instagram. You know who you are and you guys are awesome!
Read below to see what I have to say!
Q:What has been the biggest change for you since graduating (college)?
A: Since graduating in December 2019, my life has been incredibly different. Up until then, my life revolved around my studies and being with friends. Within a month, I was working a new job, my boyfriend moved out of the state, and I was dealing with a family member having health issues. Everything before January of this year was so simple without me even realizing it. I don’t want to drag this answer out too much but I will say that all of these factors and with COVID added, my lifestyle has completely changed. Now, I work full time five days a week from home. Seeing friends during a pandemic has been a challenge as well. But, I take it day by day. I don’t see these changes negatively; I see them as the next phase in my life to lead me to where I need to be.
Q: What is the coolest thing to come from your blog?
A: When I first started The Leslie Life, I wasn’t sure if people were going to click on my posts. Now, people tell me they enjoy reading my blog and that’s everything to me. No, it’s not a lot, but even if it’s a few readers, that makes me incredibly happy. I have touched on this before, but one of the coolest things to me is that I have a virtual scrapbook of some sort. I can look back and see what I was doing at a different time. With everything being so unpredictable, I cherish the memories and experiences I have written about. On another note, I got my first spray tan in return for my first paid review on my blog which I was very excited for at the time!
Q: What gets you out of bed every morning?
A: One word; gratitude. This year has been trash for every single one of us but I always remember that some have it so much worst. Both of my parents are healthy, they have jobs, and I have a job. Many people don’t. And as I said above, even when things are rough or I have a bad day, I see it as experiences I need to go through to get me exactly where I need to be. Life is incredibly short and we never know when it’s our time to go. I cherish every morning that I get to wake up safely in my bed with food in my kitchen. Every day is a new day and even if it didn’t go as planned, tomorrow will (hopefully) be better.
I want to thank those again who submitted questions. I really appreciate it and I enjoyed answering them! I hope you all have a wonderful week and I will see you next time with another post on The Leslie Life. Bye for now!
