#72 - New MacBook

What is up my beautiful people, hopefully everyone is doing well going into the holiday season. What a hell of a summer and hell of a year honestly. I had plenty of ups and downs this year, had a total of four jobs thus far in the service industry, and currently working two of those jobs. I learned so much about myself this year and hope to keep that going as I turn 30 in two months!

I’m trying to flip my mindset into loving the holiday season. The last few winter holidays have been extremely tough for me mentally. I have always hated the winter time and love the summer, which is ironic because I was born in December. I’m trying to change that this year.

I had some useful shopping finds this year. I am not by any means a materialistic person, but I have found some useful things this year including a fanny pack, some off brand Birkenstocks, non slip work shoes, and up until a few days ago, a MacBook. I always wanted a MacBook, and put it in my mind and pockets around June to save up some extra dough, and I accomplished that goal and pulled the trigger. It is currently what I am typing on right now, and so far I love it!!

I wanted to touch on comparing myself to others. It has been one of my biggest struggles throughout my life. I think it may stem from childhood or playing sports. I am not exactly sure, but I have always compared myself to others, and now that I am in my adult life, I am trying to combat that or use it to drive me into a better direction versus dwelling on it and letting it get to me. If anyone else has the same struggle let me know, even though I know no one reads these.

I love you all and hope you all have a great life! Focus on yourself and try to be the best version of yourself that you can be. I should probably take my own advice!!

Peace, Ben
