Getting away for a little to romanticize my life 🌾 an early summer vlog
Переглядів 62221 день тому
Sometimes you just need to go out of town for a few days in order to romanticize your life! I've been feeling a little meh with the monotony of life lately. With a long weekend upon me I decided to take my life by the reins and romanticize it as best as I could: traveling to my parents, getting coffee, playing a new card game, hiking at new and familiar spots, and overall just enjoying a change...

    Lovely video! Great idea about summer intentions and being creative! I recently saw a video by Kate Cavanaugh Writes called Summer Writing Semester, where she created courses for herself. While, I am not a writer I like that idea. For example, maybe using hobbies like exercise , crochet, language learning, spending time in nature, and baking. What brand of computer and television do you have? Researching some options, Thanks!

I tried looking but now sure if I missed it or something haha. I have a Macbook Air and our big TV is Hisense. The TV is actually George's that he's had for a number of years now haha.

I am trying to find out as much information about different areas I could work with an MLIS before I take classes. I can only take a certain amount of classes so want to make sure I take the ones that I would actually be interested in. I will definitely make my way through more of your videos about archival work!

I was doing photography on the side as extra income but lost interest in that and decided to go back to working in archives full time. I could live with just 30 hours a week, but I took the second job to help pay off my student loans quicker haha :)

    This is so satisfying to watch and listen to. My maternal grandfather passed away recently and he was the primary family history person. He'd done a fair amount of work online, but only on the family history portion. I have one plastic tote and six cardboard boxes full of photos, paper genealogy, journaling, and odds and ends going back to the mid-to-late 1800s, which was in a jumbled mess spanning several drawers of a dresser and a closet. I myself have done family history work since 2015, and have been journaling since 1998-ish, and was given all of my grandfather's work mentioned above. I managed to curate it all into a loose arrangement that made the most sense, and recently began the painstaking effort of digitizing the entire work. Watching how you proceed with the ins and outs of the great work you do gave me a great insight into best practices for my own endeavor, and how to best go about this. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!

I turned 30 and life happens, loads of things happened felt like I didn’t have the chance to process the turning 30 era, then Covid happened and only now I’m recovering from everything that is going on in the past. I too, love coffee shops (hey we love latte and oat milk it seems!), books browsing, and downtown indie bookstores! I wish you feel better soon, we are all learning to know ourselves everyday here, its nice to know theres someone who is tryin to do the same. we are not alone! hugs ❤ Again, happy birthday Sheila, I know I have wished you earlier on insta, never too many wishes ! 🎉🎂🍰🧁🥮 P/s : my island is called Swanville!

    I thought of you when I was at Barnes and Noble today! 😁 I bought a beginner's guide to tarot. 🙂 Glad you had fruitful book shopping, Sheila!

    This is one area where I think women are so much better at than men. Gifting. I never used to appreciate handmade gifts, as compared to expensive gifts, until I was with a girl that didn't have much money. She used to spend many hours drawing me things I loved from my childhood and making me video game related artwork. It was then that I started to learn that things made with love, and over time, cannot be bought. One of my biggest regrets in that 4-yr hellish relationship (Of which I was no angel) was when she was drawing me something from one of my favorite game series. Needless to say, we inevitably got into another argument, and by this point I had just about enough of her drama. What I did next I would come to regret for the rest of my life (up until this point and beyond). I destroyed the artwork she had already spent hours upon hours on. Right in front of her...I tore it to many pieces. I can still hear her scream "NOOOO! I worked REALLY hard on that!" through her tears. When I think about it, I still tear up. Even right now...Every girl I have been with since then has been the recipient of an unyielding appreciation for these sort of gifts...as a result of my unwitting error...I can safely promise them that I would NEVER do something like that again. Sorry for the book...this awesome video just made it new again. Not trying to be a downer.

    Did you get your bookshelf from Target? I think I have the same exact model. For me, Self-care is about going with the flow and doing what I feel like in the moment. I am a social introvert. While I like to go out amongst people, I don't like to communicate in big groups, Unless it is an academic environment. I love debates and theoretical discussion. In short, I generally like to be alone amongst a crowd. With occasional periods of social activity, followed by being home alone with my Cat, Henry-pants.

    I leave my tree up year-round, so that whenever I desire Christmas it is but a plug in the wall away. Looked like fun.

    Yeah. I think the 4th, 5th, and 6th year are "mid" years. I am going to be 37 in the summer. I don't question it, I just enjoy my life. Happy birthday though! Of note, I am also a big fan of coffee shops. I usually go to the same shop in Annapolis every Saturday and I sit there for 2 or so hours...reading, writing, thinking, people watching, listening to music, talking to the baristas, playing Switch, etc...Lol, I also peruse book stores. Notably B&N and BAM...I love me some Joe Muggs...
