Weird Quirks

We all have little quirks which help make us who we are. However, there are lots of times that I find myself letting out those quirks only when I'm alone. It's as if I would feel embarrassed if someone saw me do those things, being my true self. So, in the risk of me showing my true personality to the world and being more comfortable with who I am, I am going to share with you some of my weird little quirks.

1. I sing show-tunes loudly and badly at the top of my lungs- Honestly, I think that tons of other people do this, whether they admit it or not and there's no shame in it. It helps relieve stress and helps me let loose. Plus, it's just down-right fun. However, if I tried to sing in front of someone else, it wouldn't happen; their ears would bleed, hehe. :)

2. I take selfies- Who doesn't take pictures when their bored? Then I play around with the filters on Instagram but I don't always post them.

3. I read out loud- This isn't that weird but if the characters are foreign, I try to imitate what I think that their accents would sound like, which is weird but it's still pretty fun, especially when you're as big of a bookworm as I am. It helps bring the stories to life.

4. Design my future house- Since I don't know where the military is going to send my husband and I to live yet, I find myself fascinated by the possibility of living anywhere in the world. Then I start to wonder if I'll live in a tropical area, a small country town or a busy city? Then I start thinking about how I would design my house to fit the area that I lived in. It's turned into a pretty frequent hobby.

5. I have YouTuber marathons- I pick one of my favorite YouTubers and watch pretty much 75 percent of their content because I have nothing better to do with my time and I still find myself smiling and laughing, no matter how many times I've seen the videos.

6. I imagine myself as a YouTuber- Being a YouTuber is something that I've wanted to do for a long time but I can't because I don't have the time to dedicate to making good quality videos nor do I have the money to buy a camera and/or editing software. However, it is a nice dream to entertain for now. Maybe someday it'll be in the cards for me. A girl can dream. :)

There are a ton of other weird quirks about me and I honestly don't think that some of these are that weird but they are me and I wouldn't change myself for anything or anyone. I can't believe that I wrote some of these down to share with the world but if you don't put yourself out there, you won't get anything back but hey... it sounds like life to me.

I don't want easy...

...I want crazy!



If you have turned on your radio some time during these last few weeks, you probably recognized that the phrase above is a line from Hunter Hayes' new hit single. Every time this song comes on the radio, I have to turn my volume all the way up; it's just principle. The song speaks to me in such a way that it's hard to explain but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

There are 2 lines in the song that tug at my heart strings every time that I hear them: "Love don't know what distance is" and "We're the kind of crazy people wish that they could be." With my husband away at boot camp, it has put some previously unexpected strain on our relationship. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about that; I want him to follow his dreams. It just shows how strong our relationship is because we are able to get through this together, even though we are in different states.

I also have heard many accounts of people breaking up because they couldn't handles the pressure of a military relationship. People often tell me how brave Kris and I are for doing this, which shows me that people really do wish that they were like us.

In a way, we were a bit crazy. The army was literally an opportunity that just fell into our laps and we jumped on it as fast as we could. We felt like we'd be stupid for not doing it. Kris would have been stuck at a job that he hated and not making the money that he deserved to make and I was medically unable to work at the time. As a young engaged couple, we would've been stuck where we were in life for a long time with no way out any time soon.

So if you are wondering if going through a "crazy" relationship is worth it, I say go for it. I can only speak for myself and I can't tell you how to live your but I promise you that it will be an adventure. It may be risky but safe is boring anyway, right? Plus, anyone can take the easy way out, even though there is no such thing as an "easy" relationship. But it takes a really brave person to be "crazy." It may be hard but it'll be worth it and hey... it sounds like life to me.

Hey guys! I hope that you liked this post! I've been focusing a lot on my blog challenge but I miss writing what I want to write whenever I want to write it. So, I needed this as a little break as a bit of therapy. If you are on any other social media sites, you should follow me and stay up to date on my life when I'm not posting blogs!
