YOU CAN ONLY REBLOG THIS ONCE A YEAR
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career to pursue acting at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow only reached international success when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is.
This is so worth reblogging!
Thank you!

Being able to find someone you click with so naturally is the best feeling ever. You feel like you’ve been best friends you’re whole life, it feels like you’re coming home. You’re so comfortable with them. Maybe that’s what a soulmate is. Not someone who shares every single thing in common with you, but someone who feels like home.
2011-2018
After multiple years of using Tumblr and my 3 year hiatus I’m back. It’s been a hell of ride. From going to a community college for three years and now a transfer student. Small town to bigger cities and more opportunities. Of course in those 3 years I’ve been on countless dates mostly Tinder and now Bumble.
And now that I’m in a bigger city I am now in a bigger pool of cute dudes. Even with this big pool I still manage to get caught by one and I’m as vulnerable as always. Constantly trying to make the relationship work and make him feel wanted and needed. But then again what about me? Don’t I deserve to feel needed and wanted? If I’m always the one giving why am I not receiving any affection and attention back?
I know my worth but why is it that others can’t see it when I try to give them my all. I always end up in this situation and I’m just so fucking tired of it. Every time I decide to put myself out there again this happens. Maybe it’s time for me to stop trying and to let him come to me because at the end of the day there are TWO people in a monogamous relationship and if only one is trying then it isn’t a relationship.
