I have a serious issue...
One that I am sure many other people can relate to - and that is comparing...
I compare myself to others all the time. 
I compare my body to others. I compare my face and makeup to others. My clothes. My car. My home. 
I compare my art and my writing...
That's one that is really affecting me lately.

::*::wanderlust::*::

It has been such a long time since I have posted on this blog. 
I have been going back and forth between sites and domains for a while now. Live Well with Miss G...Soma Shift...trying to push out something into the world wide web and into the world that I don't feel I really have in me to share or do. 
For some reason...every time I go back to this blog, I feel a heavy wistfulness...
All these other blogs that I tried starting had the "perfect blog" in mind - the blogs that I see by other people...but I mean, that is their jam. Their photography and perfecting their posts whereas for me, it's just a perfectly imperfect place to ramble on randomly. 
I think I'm going to come back to this for the time being. I feel more inspired to write here and feel like I can be myself without checking things over 1000 times and feel like I need to share something that others will like to see. I started this for myself...and I will continue with doing it for myself. 
I will most likely share some of my artwork here (I will explain this in another post) and my poetry (will explain that as well)...I will do my random ramblings and book reviews/wishlists...I will share recipes that I have actually tried!! And ones that I want to try in the future. 

This was more like a journal to me...I enjoyed it a lot! So...I guess I am back...for now. 
We all know how that goes with me...lol.

I’ve been at this blogging thing for a bit – but have gone off the radar, back on, off again…I enjoy writing a lot…and get inspired by so many things – want to get a creative as possible, but for whatever reason there are things that hold me back. I guess many of us go through these feelings from time to time – where we don’t trust our own selves to be the best we can be…or rather, what if our best self isn’t “good enough”? You’ll often hear people say that you should talk to yourself the way you would talk to a loved one or best friend – you would never tell them that they couldn’t do something or that you don’t believe in them, so why is it so easy for us to do it to ourselves? I mean, it becomes second nature in some cases to the point where you don’t even realize that you are in fact, slamming yourself down into the ground day in and out. 
I think this negative self-talk, paired with procrastination and oftentimes feeling like there are never enough hours in the day (which is complete BS!) lead me astray from some of the goals that I have for myself. From doing some of the things that I am completely passionate about.

::letting it go::

It is that time again...the time that basic bitches thrive on. And I'm allowed to say such things because I am totally one of them - and damn proud of it! LOL.
I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I can most definitely speak for myself and I freakin LOVE Fall! I am OBSESSED with everything Fall-related. Honestly. 
There is just something absolutely extraordinary about this season and I am eternally grateful that I am able to live in a province that has the most beautiful Autumn season. 
Even the simplest words can evoke such a visceral feeling in the pit of my stomach which I can only describe as joyous. Honestly! It pains me to say it because of how cliche it sounds but it's true. 
I love the colours. The clothes. The smells. 
The rotting leaves. The crunchy sound they make. 
I love pumpkins and apple orchards. Pies and baked goods. 
Hearty foods and stews. I love boots and huge sweaters. Cool weather and Fall clouds - yes, Fall has clouds! You know those days...where the sky is painted a cobalt blue so rich it looks surreal and ominous iron-coloured clouds that crowd the sky in blinding white auras. Looks like any minute it would rain but the persistent sun peeks out here and there. With that comes the biting breeze which causes you to prematurely whip out the fleecy, comfy clothes. You know what I'm talking about.

Despite having a different blog (Live Well With Miss G) I feel compelled to always come over to this side to post...and yet I haven't. Ever since I had started my other blog and putting so much "pressure" on myself I lost interest in writing. 
This side of my blogging world seems so much more relaxed, cozier. 
I feel like I am betraying my other blog only because I spent so much time on it...but was it worth it? I don't know. 
Obviously not since I've barely posted on there and I was pretty darn consistent here. It didn't matter what I posted on here, I just went with it. So to get inspired once again let this be my return (ish) to the blogging world...and back to The Darling Miss G.

::*::christmas:is:going:to:the:dogs::*::


"While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads"...
The above ^^^ is totally me. Except it's not sugar plums (what are sugar plums anyway??) but Toasted Coconut Turtles...and Reese Pecan Clusters. 
I'm dying for sweets...
In all reality it isn't THAT bad...I make it a lot worse then what it actually is. It just makes my excitement for a post comp cheat meal that much more exciting to think of. I am considering making a little notebook full of delicious foods. LOL. Or..what I could do, it just use Pinterest and share some yummy recipes on here that I want to try in the future (I haven't posted a recipe in such a long time!).
Bt that's for another time...right now, I want to talk about my passion. 
ANIMALS!!
Dogs, for this post, to be specific.
