Day 20/30 A Picture of Somewhere You'd Love to Travel

This my dear friends, is the Caribbean. 

Day 19/30 - A picture of your nicknames you have; why do you have them.

A picture of nicknames?

These are some that I've had:

Sarabear - don't even know how that one came about
Kiddo - my sister still calls me this
Pepper - my online alias shortened
Lady Toop - my husband-to-be's last name is Toop

Not very exciting I know.

18/30 A Picture of Your Biggest Insecurity

My biggest insecurity is people not thinking that I am good enough. 
Whether it be looks, intelligence, humor, and so-on I want people to enjoy my company.
I mean, most people want people to like them right?
So when someone avoids me when I've done nothing wrong it kills me a little bit inside.

It used to be that I would do anything for anyone to like me.
I'd agree with things that I really didn't.
I'd do things I didn't want to.
All to be liked.

But you know what?
That stopped a few years back.
Because I made the decision to stand up for myself and for everything I believe in even though I knew it meant that not everyone would like me.

I still don't feel good enough sometimes.

But when I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror I tell myself that I am worth something; because I am.
It's a habit I've gotten into that helps me to accept that though I may not be perfect, or liked by everyone, I am strong enough to be my own person.

Here are some kitties because I don't know of a pic that represents my insecurity. 

17/30 A Picture of Something That Has Made a Huge Impact on Your Life Recently

What is something that has made a huge impact on my life recently?
There have been a few things but I do believe this is the most impacting.
It's not very recent though.

Steve proposed to me on December 25th, 2012. It was romantic and perfect and everything I've ever wanted. This is a badly taken photograph of the diamond ring he had custom made just for me. :)

Since then, I feel like I have transitioned into the next part of my life. I'm ready to plan my real wedding and spend the rest of my life with this man who I've come to know as my best friend. I feel secure, not just in the relationship, but in myself as well. We have been together throughout the time of my transition into adulthood and he has never once stepped in and blocked anything I've wanted to try, or any changes that I've gone through. He's always allowed me my freedom and I've always allowed him the same. It feels really good to have that support and yet be independent at the same time. This ring is just a reminder of that.

Day 16/30 - A Picture of Someone Who Inspires You

It took me a very long time to choose someone to post under the title of "inspires me" because there are many people in my life, who have passed through my life, and who have yet to reach my life that inspire me every day. So here it is: Humanity.

I chose the image above to represent humanity in it's light and its dark. 

Every day I browse the internet in search of cures for my curiosity and sometimes laziness. I come across thousands of posts upon posts upon posts about thousands of topics. Following chains of links often times I find myself in some weird places. The internet is a funny thing; we can see a large part of the world from the comfort of our own homes. 

I'm inspired by the people I come across in real life interactions as well. Sometimes I'm inspired by the dark parts, and other times by the light. They balance each other out and come to create a happy medium that is my walk through life. 

I learn from everything I come across. I change, develop, and share constantly. 

This is why humanity inspires me in every way; it never stops. 

Day 15/30 A Picture of Something You Want To Do Before You Die

Shoal Bay, Anguilla  Caribbean

Before I die I would like to get some travelling done. I was never given the opportunity as a child or teenage and I don't have the funds to do so as of right now because of University sucking the life out of me. However, one day, I would like to go spend a large amount of time wandering beaches and soaking up the sun. I'd also like to go to a number of places across Europe but my main sights are set on Central America. 

Sometimes I wish I could just go down there and not come back.

(I'd bring my fiance with me of course.)
