Shaking Things Up
I’ve been living in my comfort zone for quite some time now. I’m the adventurous and reckless type but I have a priority in life that always keeps me sane and grounded…and that’s Yazan, my son. Watching my son grow every day always bring me joy…but there are days when I long to shake things up a bit even if it is just to experience that little moment of euphoria that comes along with doing something new.
Last year, a lot of changes…good changes started happening in my life : long holidays with my love ones, a new job, started properly dating and spending time with a special person, lots of fun time with friends and finally, I get to practice that freedom of doing things again that I couldn’t do then.
My life is good, I couldn’t ask for more. I could say “I’ve been there, done that” …I’m a good loving mom to my son, a good daughter to my parents, a good person to everyone I know, a good wife when I was married and now a good woman for my boyfriend.
I did my best to please and make everyone happy but now I want to do things for myself…do something different to break up the routine of being nice and good to make everyone around me happy. 
I feel restless and I want to feel that thrill of doing something exciting and challenging…I want to find “myself” again and won’t mind breaking some rules just for the heck of it.
I know it sounds crazy but I only have a one-way ticket in life. I want to do things …and every good things that I can do now for I’ll never pass this way again.
Is there anything that you wanted to do but didn’t get the chance to do it? Will you shake things up and go for it ?

There are things I want to do but there is nothing that keeps me from doing them in the future at the moment.
Being a business owner and living in a new area, I do not have a lot of opportunities to get out and meet new people. However, my friends on here have reinforced it within me that I can approach new people, express myself as I really am, and show me it is fine.
In fact, my next blog is going to push my comfort zone a little bit...but, I am looking forward to the challenge. (If I decided to post it.
Good luck with your new found realization.
Glad to know you're living your life just the way you want it ...
Yes, there is /will time for everything... I say to myself too that what I can't do now I can always do next day/week/month/year...
How are you doing there?
Yes, the key to our own happiness is within each of us ...but I just find it difficult to put my happiness first before those I care about.
You better post that blog...
What exactly do you mean by that?
Which toe are you referring to? Left or right?
You don't want to look in my drawer...
I will check them out this weekend...
Hope you're having a lovely day there
Yes, little things can be more fun...
yesterday, I went to work wearing jeans, converse shoes and a Hard Rock T-shirt with a messy hair...it surprised the people I work with...I wasn't my usual look but boy it feels so good to wear something comfortable.
Planning to leave work early tonight and have a drink with someone...never done it before, it could be fun.
I intend to....
It feels good to be busy...as long as we love what we are doing...it's great!
Our comfort zone, is just that...comfort...doesn't really offer a lot of "growing" for us...this is my issue
a song for you "hint-hint" "wink-wink"
all I ever wanted was some harmless fun...not the kind of fun you have in mind...
that's a good one, thanks!
