Most of you already know this, I'm a workaholic. Not because I want to be, but because I need to be. Lately, it seems like every time I take a step forward something happens and I end up two steps behind and can't get to a stable place where I'd like to be. I have been getting really down about it because it is so frustrating to work so hard and then see that money be spent on things that aren't enjoyable. But today, I came to a realization--money is made to be spent; spent on things you have to spend it on, and also things you want to spend it on. This morning when Britney asked if I was going to go to the Opening Day at the Del Mar Racetrack I could think of a million reasons why I should save that 30 dollars and just say the most responsible answer: NO. But then, a moment of clarity presented itself and I thought I'm only 22 years old, I work not only to support myself but also to enjoy myself. It is summer time and I only have such little time left with the few people that are still here in this awesome city; I have to go. You can always make money, but you can never make time. Alana told me that and it has stuck in my head for so long; and for some reason it has recently affected most of the decisions that I make. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a balanced life is the best life. So I will work hard AND play hard(maybe a little harder hehe) and that will equate to the most healthy of lifestyles. :)
Cheers,
Ariana
