Human

One of my favorite bloggers @oliviarink wrote something last year that inspired me and I knew I wanted to do the same eventually. So I saved it. One of her favorite writers @brittanychaffee wrote what she called a ‘non inspiring list of things that make me human. They both wrote one and I wanted to share mine too! 

I’m Whitney, most people call me whit. 

I live in Kentucky where sweet tea never runs dry but you’ll always find me with a coke In my hand. I LOVE to travel but I’m a homebody at the same time…I’ll dig out of my suitcase for weeks before I finally unpack it. 

I take my morning coffee with a pack of hot cocoa instead of sugar. Try it and tell me its not the best! Ha

I’m quite the simple kind of girl that loves a good country song and a back road, the sound of birds chirping and the smell of fire at night. 

I like my marshmallows burnt but not the kind of burnt where it’s just on the outside..I like it slow roasted then burnt. Haha 

I’m a firm believer that herbal teas can heal just about anything and there’s nothing quite better than a bowl of fruity pebbles before bed. 

I love a good routine but hardly ever stay in one. My notes app is full of ongoing to do lists and quotes that are life changing.  

I have naturally curly hair…like Shirley Temple curly- Do ya’ll know who that is? 

I literally have to be the coldest person I know- I hate wearing shorts to dinner in the summer because I find the air completely miserable in restaurants. 

I love to sit in a restaurant and think about a person’s story. What in their life brought them to be there in that exact moment. I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason and you won’t convince me otherwise. 

I’m most definitely a recovering people pleaser- I apologize when I shouldn’t. I would say the biggest lesson I’ve learned so far is to allow God to write my story and not the ones around me. I spent so much of my time allowing the opinions of others to control where I went in life only to come up unfulfilled. Who holds your pen? The title of A new blog post coming soon. 

I believe negativity is a true waste of breath when you can spend your time building someone else up instead. I believe you become what you surround yourself with- including people. 

I lost my dad when I was 19 only to find myself as a college dropout- fast forward 9 years fulfilled in my career at a wealth management practice- also expanding into the content creation/blogging industry on social media.

I’ve learned to embrace the messy parts of my life as its the only way to really see growth- learning who I want to be and who God made me to be. 

I feel like I finally know who I am and where I’m headed. I’m just here working on being the best version of me I can be- I’m so grateful for every little piece of this life as it’s just a small glimpse of what’s ahead. 

Here’s to all of us and what makes us HUMAN. 

List one uninspiring yet inspiring thing that makes you human, below.
