real talk: life

does anyone else struggle with what they want to spend their time doing?

i have things i enjoy, like painting and playing video games and spending time in nature.. but i don’t have a “dream job” i don’t dream of working till i die. but i obviously have bills to pay and need currency to survive but when i think about pursuing what would bring me joy; like selling my art or learning how to do game design.. i find reasons/excuses to hold myself back and let’s be real it would probably take months or even years to actually make a living off of something that genuinely brings me joy.. #lemon8contest #Lemon8Diary #realtalk #howtolife #realvibes #storytime

2024/7/8 Edited to

Life can often feel like a balancing act between pursuing passions and meeting responsibilities. Many individuals grapple with the idea of a 'dream job' and what that entails. For some, the thought of earning a living through artistic endeavors such as painting or game design is enticing, yet barriers and self-doubt frequently arise. It's important to acknowledge that transformation takes time; the journey to turn a passion into a profession may stretch over months or, even years. Therefore, setting realistic goals and breaking down aspirations into manageable tasks can lead to meaningful progress. Engaging in local art communities or participating in online game design forums can also ignite creativity and provide support. Balancing joy and practicality requires dedication, but the rewards of pursuing what truly makes you happy can lead to personal satisfaction and growth. Ultimately, it's essential to stay true to oneself and embrace the journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.

REAL CHRISTIAN TALK

Just because you go to church on Sunday doesn’t mean you’re going to heaven. 💯 God isn’t moved by routine — He’s moved by relationship. You can shout, serve, and show up every week, but if your heart ain’t right… you’re just playing church. 🕊️ God is checking your character, not your calendar.

A realtor sits at a desk with a laptop, with text overlay 'TEXT MESSAGES I SEND TO MY CLIENTS'. The background shows 'ROMANO REALTY', indicating her profession and the topic of client communication.

Hands hold a phone displaying a text message from a realtor to clients, reminding them about the upcoming inspection period and asking about scheduling inspections before they go away.

How I talk to my clients (real life examples!)

Text message is a super common way I communicate with my clients. It's less formal and just provides a more personal, trusting relationship. I use email and phone calls for the more serious matters and sending paperwork over. Here are some examples of real life texts I sent to my clients!! #

The image explains how narcissistic parents, through inconsistent validation and emotional support, can contribute to difficulties in forming stable relationships and fear of abandonment, associated with BPD.

The image explains that persistent fear and anxiety can lead to maladaptive coping mechanisms like impulsive behavior or unstable relationships, contributing to the development of BPD.
