Hey everyone. How is your week going? Mine is going okay. Actually, I am lying. My week absolutely sucks. I don't know if I have mentioned this or not, but I found these weird bumps on my hands, including my fingers. My mother told me they might be warts so I should go to the dermatologist. Well, I went earlier today and she told me that they were just broken and bumped up blood vessels and they should go away in about a week. They just need time to "heal." I asked the doctor why something like this would happen and she said exactly this, "Stress." You're joking, right? And the day before Thanksgiving, I got a broken blood vessel in my eye causing my eye to look like it was bleeding! My husband's aunt (who is a Registered Nurse) told me it just needed time to "heal" because it is also caused from stress. So, a broken blood vessel in my eye and all over my hands and fingers because I am "stressed out?" Ugh...I guess I need to take a break!
In my bright idea for this final blog, I thought I would talk about stress. In all my life, I can honestly say that I have been stressed out numerous times for many numerous reasons. The fact is though, I have never had anything like these broken blood vessels happen to me. So is this literally my body telling me fucking stop it? It is saying come on Mallory! Just stop! Take a break, stop worrying about EVERYTHING, and take a chill pill! I hate to use the phrase, "chill pill" because my mother always used to say clever things like that to me when I was overwhelmed, but it is literally the only thing I can think of. I just need to take a vacation, whether that vacation be on my couch watching TV and playing video games, or going back to Vegas for a week. Holy cow! A light bulb just turned on in my head. I should go back to Vegas with my husband for a week!!! That would be awesome. When we were in Vegas on our honeymoon, we had the time of our lives.
Wow, rant much? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Stress. It happens to everyone for whatever their reason may be. How do we avoid it? How can we (as humans) not stress out so much or on a daily basis? The truth is, I don't think there is a way to avoid it. Because if there was, wouldn't we have all figured it out by now so we wouldn't worry about it? Second of all, I don't think we would be human if we didn't stress out. Life is all about stress and without it, where would we be as humans? I think it is just up to the person on how they handle it. Now the only question I have is for myself. How will I handle it? I guess I am just waiting for X-mas break to start so I don't have to worry about my grades or whatever else deals with school. Then I can worry and stress out about what presents I will buy for everyone and if I even have the money to afford buying gifts! Alright Mallory, calm down and take a chill pill! (Haha, I'm funny, aren't I?)
I will leave everyone with this: it has been a pleasure working with everyone. I wish you all the very best of luck! Remember, don't stress! And Happy Holidays!
