Dating Part 2

Posted on by DushiLifestyle

Dating these days 

Here is dating part 2. I said in my part 1 of dating these days that I would only date someone if it felt right. My post was from December 2022 and did I date people these last few months??…NOPE! Lol. We do have some progress because I am open to dating somewhere this year. My brother-in-law gave up hope hahaha. Because I always tell him that by next Christmas, he won’t be the only man at the table. I have 7 months to keep my promise so who knows by Christmas 2023 I will be sitting next to someone’s son😂. I got this! Just keep in mind that I have been saying this for the last 4 or even 5 years.

Dating Apps

Did I ever go on one of these apps? I sure did out of curiosity and sometimes still do when bored. I download these apps to just delete them within 24 hours. Downloading apps was such a big taboo when they first came out. I now don’t care what people think. Everybody was making up stories about where and how they met. Now it is a great story because it is so rare to find a gem in the app world.

Sucker for a beautiful story

I fall for these apps after watching a few cute stories on TikTok and think well maybe today is my day and I will also meet my Mr.Right. I go on there and within 10 min I think nope. I keep it for 24 hours or less and delete it because it is very tiring to keep up conversations with people. In real life, I am so much better. I never know what to say and I lose interest or they lose interest and we go back to square 1 and I delete, delete, delete. 

Success Love Stories

I have friends and acquaintances that have had so much success on these apps. Some even got married and some are still dating. I have friends who don’t mind going on a few dates with different people and maybe finding their person.

Level Up

I have to get to their level. My thing is what if I get there and I know in 5 seconds that I don’t like the person, how long am I supposed to stay there? I also think what if they don’t like me and they tell me… OMG!! I mean it’s better to know but who wants to hear that someone doesn’t like them or doesn’t find them attractive? I will feel awful telling someone on a date that I am not into them and that there won’t be another date. So I just don’t date and voila problem is solved. 

Love Languages

We have all heard about these love languages and I know that some people think it’s a lot of bullshit but I like it. So of course when I heard of this back in the day I had to do the test to see what my love language is. The first time I took the test years ago, I got Words of Affirmation. I just did it again today and things have changed a little bit. I now have Quality Time as my first Love Language. Did you ever take a Love Language Test and is your result accurate? I can understand why this has changed because I hope to someday find someone who would like to travel and see the world with me. 

Keep you posted

As soon as I go on my first date in 2023 I will update you and let you know how I felt. This is also part of my get out of my comfort zone journey in 2023. How do you feel about dating? If you are already with someone did you meet organically or through a dating app? How do you feel about dating apps? Let me know in the comments under this post or maybe prefer to let me know on my IG or FB.

Talents

Posted on by DushiLifestyle

I was talking to my sister the other day about talents. People tell me that I am so talented and that I am so smart, creative, social, fun to be around, etc. The thing is that I don’t feel like such a talented person. I mean I know I am a smart and a fun person but I feel like I can do a little bit of everything and I do not excel in one thing. 

Jealous (in a good way)

I read a lot of books, listen to podcasts, and have a list of people on Youtube that I have been following since forever and I admire how they are fully using their talents. I’m so jealous but in a good way of course. I always have this little voice in the back of my mind who tells me to don’t even bother because it will not work out. The older I get the less I am listening to this voice but I need to get rid of her before I turn 80 cause at that point I won’t be able to literally hear her anymore.LOL 

Event

I am still figuring out how to put my small event together. I need to talk to people who put events together and learn from them. Time to start networking. Mine will be a small gathering at first and if it works who knows it might become something bigger. I feel that this could become something I could excel in.  

Everything has already been done

There are so many things that I want to do but I feel like everything has already been done. I am talking about things like me starting a podcast or even this blogging that I am doing right now. There are so many great podcasts and fantastic blogs online that it’s very daunting to start one. I am glad that I did put my reservations on a shelf and started this blog. Even if nobody reads it, it is something that I love doing. The only reason I haven’t started dabbling with a podcast or even a YouTube channel is that I am not a fan of my voice😓

Recommendation 

I was listening to a podcast while I was cleaning my house this last Sunday. It was an episode of The Goal Digger Podcast This episode was about how we are waiting for a sign to make a big career change. This episode resonated with me because this whole blogging thing started because I was waiting for a sign to make a career change. This big sign never came and I learned that I just need to do things. She also had an episode about how to start small businesses from home. I loved that one too because you all know by now that this is the dream. 

Posting twice a week

This post was a good old ramble again. This one was a little bit all over the place again and long.(I am so sorry) I hope that by the end of this year, I have discovered my main talent and that I am putting it to use. I am going to try and post twice a week because I want to better my writing and the only way to do this is by writing more. Let me know in the comments here, on FB or IG if you are using all your talents or if you are still thinking about what your talents are. If you would like to see more of my daily life you can follow me on my social media platforms. Talk to you soon.💛

Notting Hill Carnival

Posted on by DushiLifestyle

My girls and I go to this event every year but due to the pandemic, everything was on hold for the last two years that has been happening these last two years we weren’t able to go. We are so happy that we are going this year at the end of August. I will keep you posted on what we take with us and how we eventually party for 3 days in Londen. I love having this quality time with my best friends because we get to talk and hang out without the interruptions of daily life.

Hairstyles

Posted on by DushiLifestyle

This is probably my favourite part of the blog. I love switching things up. I see something on YouTube and before I know it I am either ordering hair online or I head to the local beauty supply store. I literally have suitcases with hair extensions in them. I buy so much and some of them I haven’t even used yet. I am planning to use all of them in the upcoming weeks and months and I will write and of course post pictures with the new hairstyle. Let me know in the comments if you also buy too much or am I the only one? Let’s talk 🙂
