Gotta Be Good to Me

2020 here we are! Whaat?? We are officially back in the '20s and I don't think everyone has really grasped that. Like...why are we not bringing those fashion styles back. And the music. I'm actually really obsessed with Postmodern Jukebox right now. If you don't know who they are, they take really popular songs and rearrange the music to be like the '20s. It's wonderful and I love it. A lot. If I could just dress like a flapper every day, and guys wear suits all the time...I'd be here for that. So, let's hop to it world. We should make this happen.

I have set several goals for myself for 2020. My main goal is to start focusing more on myself. Which, if you know me, is super hard for me to do. All I've ever really done is focus on everyone else. I'd be the first person to volunteer to help a friend out...even if I'm neglecting myself. My mom pointed it out when she was here for Christmas. This is a learned behavior that I got from her. My mom has always put everyone before herself. I guess I just didn't realize that's exactly what I was doing too. I can't tell you how many times I've dropped what I was doing to help someone else...which isn't always a terrible thing. However, when everything in my life takes a backseat it becomes a problem.

So I have been doing things for me. Which has been an adventure. I've done some stuff that I wouldn't have done 6 months ago...and I don't even feel guilty about it. Whaat?? And I'm not overthinking it...which is incredible for me. You know you overthink too much when your best guy friend buys you 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***.' Which is actually a really good book that has somke good advice in there. So, if you are an overthinker...I'd look into buying it.

I've also been getting back into the habit of wearing makeup and doing more with my hair than a ponytail. Which can be seen as totally superficial. I know. But, when my hair's done and my makeup's done...I just feel more confident and more myself. So, you may say that I don't need makeup...or any girl doesn't need makeup...but sometimes you just wear it to feel good. Also, I'm now a red head...and let me tell y'all they lie. Red heads have more fun. At least that's been my experience so far. And I feel way more sassy and into myself with this red hair. It's amazing what some hair color can do for your confidence. Who knew?

Moral of the story? I'm trying really hard to make 2020 my year. The year I do what I want without any regrets. So far? I don't have any. I'm digging the new, confident Kymber. I'm focusing on myself and learning more about me and the things I like. I hope your 2020 is going great so far too.

Until next time beautiful people. Stay awesome.

xoxo
Kymber.


"I've never been asked to dance
Cause I've never been the pretty one.
Never liked compliments
Cause it's always been so hard believing them
You say I'm beautiful
And I say you're full of it
Nothing personal
I'm still not used to this
But I'm workin on, workin on it
I've been workin on, workin on it
Workin' on, workin' on
Gotta be good to me
I should give myself way my love
I'm my worst enemy"
