March

Today didn’t start off great.

I woke up to the realization that my heating was slacking off…ie NOT WORKING. I proceeded to shiver my way around my apartment as I got ready for the day. There were zero groceries in my fridge, I broke my makeup mirror (ugh) and narrowly escaped yet another curling iron burn (small miracles). I left my building FAR too late due to one too many morning selfies, and as I pushed my way through the front doors to brace the cold…………

IT WASN’T -10000 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

I practically jumped for joy when I felt sensation in my cheeks on my entire walk to the subway; when my bag brushed against my leg, I didn’t feel like my frozen, brittle extremities would snap off. Obviously, I proceeded to document this momentous occasion by snapchatting everyone I know (…this didn’t necessarily help the whole “running late” aspect of my morning).

It was then that I realized what March is going to be all about…POSITIVITY. While I am a cynic by trade, it is time for me to snap out of my sarcasm (as if) and try to see the good. Yes my morning was remarkably sluggish, but it is THAT MUCH CLOSER to summer. The sunrise was stunning, and a man didn’t verbally accost me on the subway (more on that another day…).

I’m treating March like a fresh start. I spent the day yesterday rearranging my furniture (I am my father’s daughter) and cleaning every last inch of my place…okay, ALMOST every last inch. House of Cards season 3 got the best of me. But I went to bed last night feeling REFRESHED. I told my boyfriend that it is his job to hold me accountable for being a lazy piece of shit (my words, not his…lucky for him…). It’s time to stop allowing myself to fall into a cycle of being messy, tired, lazy, and start making the most of my days.

Enjoy your first weekday of March…the sun is shining, the birds are chirping (who am I, Snow White?) and it’s SO CLOSE TO SUMMER. Okay maybe not THAT close…but you get the picture.

XOXO CC
