When They Tell You – “Pick Just One Thing”

August 16, 2018 by Chrystal Leave a Comment

Let me ask you a question.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Let me ask you another one.

How many of you are doing that?

Has anyone ever told you that you have too many ideas, too many dreams, too many or too much of something just so they can tell you that you need to just pick one thing?

One thing and one thing only. One career. Once dream to chase. One thing you are passionate about.

Well, I am here to tell you today that not all of us are programmed like that.

Shocking, I know. 😉 [Read more…]

When I say, “Travel.”

When I say, "Travel." | Nevermore Lane #personalessay #Travel

When I say I want to travel, I don’t necessarily mean I want to stay at resorts and go on tours with tour guides.

One of the reasons I haven’t been blogging as much as I used to is because I have been living a life full of beards. Seriously. It seems like I eat, sleep, breath beards these days. Some of you may remember I was seeing someone at the first of the year and we had made some cute long distance open when cards. Things didn’t work out there, but I started seeing someone else shortly after. These two started what I call, “The year of beards.” If not for beard 1, I would not have met beard 2, and if not for him I would not have found myself in a Facebook group which in turn led me and a fellow blogger to open our own beard group – Beards and the Babes Who Love Them.
