Lys's Sneak Peak

By

                                         


Alright so I’m here... finally made it here. At this point in my life where I’m living the city girl dream, where I’m a full-time working adult, and where I’m partnered with one of my good ole college pals and writing this introductory blog post... WHY? Throwback for a second, when I was in high school I wanted to be a motivational speaker. Yes, me wanting to go out there and inspire the world... BUT at that time in my life I felt like I didn’t experience anything THAT serious to be a motivational speaker. Then I graduated high school and the tables turned. 

Now, before I go in and tell you how and why the tables turned, just know no matter what I’ve been through, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way because I wouldn’t have ended up living the life I’m living today. Now, my story isn’t insanely drastic, but it’s a STORY let me tell you. Know, no matter WHAT your story is, it’s YOUR story. Doesn’t matter how big or small, it makes you YOU. 

Some of you probably have an idea what I’m talking about. Some of you have absolutely no clue. Just to give a little sneak peak, I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school for 11 years, raised to be the perfect little Catholic girl... you know the whole no sex before marriage thing. In a way,  trained to be this perfect child and should only be in relationships with white catholic boys... ALL that fun stuff. Then I made a left turn ...LITERALLY... went left field if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. My honest, innocent, young self at the time decide to be truthful to my mom (only parent in my life at the time). Now that’s another story. My 17-year-old self was then punished, disowned, and shamed for the curiosity of my sexuality by the only parent I had. Now, there’s a lot more to say about that. But, the reason why I joined this blog is to maybe, finally let my story be out in the open. Or maybe even to come to terms with my story. Not only that, but to show others that it’s MORE than okay to be YOU no matter what YOU is...

It’s crazy to think about how one  month can turn in the two months, and  two months can turn the three months, and the next thing you know half a year goes by, and the next thing you know it’s a year later... Thinking about where I was a year ago compared to where I am now...every time I predict or have a small invasion of what my future may look like, it turns out to be nothing like I expected it to look like but it’s not always a bad thing...  And honestly the favorite things about my life right now are the ones that caught me by surprise because I didn’t see it coming...  I’m just kind of at this point in my life where I tend to just go with the flow, ya know riding the wave of life, letting life take the stirring wheel... But let me tell you, I’m a huge sign person... I mean HUGE. For example, every time I think of quitting my job and wanting to start something different, something happens whether it’s a promotion or some sort of light at the end of the tunnel t...

Pals That Blog

By
The Jess & Lyss friendship goes WAY back to our college degenerate days. We both joined the same sorority our sophomore year of college, had the same major, and of course jammed out to the same music. We became closer, made the wildest of memories, and eventually had Jess & Lyss therapy sessions together. We live very similar lifestyles but at the same time, we have VERY different experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. These experiences have brought us closer together to form a friendship neither of us would replace. This blog was originally a one man show. By adding another blogger, we aspire to reach a larger audience as our ultimate goal is to motivate others. Live On is now reconstructed to share our stories, our DIFFERENT stories, that we hope one day someone can benefit from. To let someone know that they are not alone. To encourage others to keep on going. To maybe even save a life. This world is full of obstacles... challenges... but hey, we're in it...
