Relationships and Following Your Passion

Speaker 1

Welcome to my first podcast. So I'm with my sister and we're currently in my closet. This is the only room that's like quiet enough to do this, because this microphone literally gets everything. Say hi, Hello. So today I was going to talk about wait, I have it in my notes. I was going to talk about breakups, because who doesn't love to talk about breaks? And then a friend of mine, a little cutie pie, he suggested I talk about basically following your passions. And yeah, but his name is Justin. Hi, Justin, if you're listening to this, so I guess we can just jump on right in. Okay, we can just jump right in, I guess, Right on, but you've never had a breakup.

Speaker 2

You said no, not really I've only I told somebody that I didn't like want to date them. How did you say it? Well, I was a little bit scared to tell them because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. But, um, I didn't tell him in person. I texted him, of course, told him this is like last year and I told him that I wasn't in the right spot in my life to date him and that he deserves somebody that's going to really be in that I don't know in the right position in life to have a boyfriend and treat them the right way. So I told him I didn't want a boyfriend and I wasn't in that position in life and there's nothing that he did, but I just didn't want to date anybody.

Speaker 1

Well, I've had a few breakups and I think probably this is like a bad breakup story and I think probably this is like a bad breakup story. So I guess we're doing bad breakup stories Is that your only?

Speaker 2

is that your only like bad story? Well, the other guy that I was talking to and went on a few dates was the most awkward human being I've ever met in my entire life.

Speaker 2

Oh, and he just I'm like the first girl he probably ever talked to, and so every time I hung out with him I felt like we were just really good friends and never felt the romantic chemistry at all. The romantic chemistry, yeah, there just wasn't any. So I was like you know what, I'm going to stop talking to him and making the moves first, and if we keep talking or if he reaches out again, then maybe I'll see if um give him another chance. But he didn't, so we never talked after that and, uh, it was a little bit awkward and uncomfortable for a while, but then after that it was kind of like whatever.

Speaker 2

So interesting yeah, didn't have to break up with that one well uh, I have a bad breakup story.

Speaker 1

It was the most recent one. You already know this, oh yeah, but I doubt he's ever going to listen to this ever in his life. But if he does, it's really awkward. But basically, I was dating this guy for like four months and towards the end it got really bad. It was just not a good relationship. It was just not a good relationship and I kind of brought it up first that he wasn't like treating me well, basically, and he broke up with me on Valentine's Day over text message, over text message. But me being a super nice person, I just like I'm almost too nice to a fault and like I still gave him his Valentine's gifts, like that's pretty bad, but like I didn't want it, so I wasn't going to keep that, like I don't want that stuff, stuff, so I gave him his stuff back. But uh, yeah, that was pretty much the worst breakup story I have. I mean, there's a lot more to it, but yeah, I think that was probably the worst one.

Speaker 1

Do you have any advice on moving on reagan? Probably the worst one. Do you have any advice on moving on reagan? Well, how do you move on from things like if you were to go through a bad breakup, how would you move on? I know it's kind of hard because you've never gone through one um, I would probably think you would get rid of the things that remind me of them.

Speaker 2

So, like if they just left stuff or gave me like a present or something, I probably would keep it. I would either like just give it away if it was like a super nice gift, or I would just like throw it away because you don't want to be reminded of that person. And if they weren't good for you then, um, yeah, I would just not have those constant reminders of negative things that happened. But if it was like a good person and things just didn't work out, then, um, I don't think it would be bad to have reminders of that, because they were a part of your life for a while and a part of who you, um, are like. They helped you change in a certain way. Yeah, whether it was good or bad, everybody's growing and changing. So I feel like it's okay to have reminders of somebody who genuinely had good intentions in talking to you, but if they were just a butthole, then you don't need any of their stuff.

Speaker 1

My advice Hold on, I gotta, um, my advice, hold on, I gotta. Don't say what I'm saying here, because we're gonna play this game at the end, but okay, um, so for me, moving on, like if I know that I shouldn't be with someone, it's kind of easier to move on because you have all these reasons why you should move on. But, uh, I don't know.

Speaker 2

I'm scatterbrained, like in terms of feelings how, how long did it take you to move on? And like be like okay, well, that person really wasn't for me and well, I knew that I feel better now.

Speaker 1

I knew that from the moment we broke up. But, uh, you still, like, like, for me, like, even though I knew that I wasn't supposed to be with this person, like he wasn't the kind of person I wanted to be around, like generally, like he's just not a great person. But, um, I'm talking about the last person I just talked about, about the bad breakup. He just wasn't great and so I would, even though I was. Oh, oh, my God, I can't think. This is how my brain works. I'm just like everywhere.

Speaker 1

But even though I felt like a sense of relief when we broke up, I was also sad, and that's just. I'm a human being. I guess this happens. But, yeah, I deleted pictures, I deleted anything that had to do with him, and this is probably bad, but we still follow each other on social media. So I feel like that wasn't the greatest thing, but I'm strong, I can handle it.

Speaker 1

But, yeah, I just hung out with my friends and I had to figure out what I learned from the relationship, because that also kind of helps me, like, move on. And yeah, that's pretty much it, and then it just takes some time for you to not be sad anymore. Like you move on. You change, people change. You just gotta let time heal your wounds, okay, okay. So the next thing we're talking about, because we're pretty much done with the breakup crap, but Justin suggested I talk about following. I don't have my phone with me right now, but it was something like working your actual job versus your passions and your like side hustles or whatever. What do you? Do you think someone should follow their dreams or do you think they should play it safe and have an actual job?

Speaker 2

I think that in order to well, I definitely think you should always follow your dreams, never give up on the thing that you want to do the most, because if you can end up doing things you love to do, then that's just a dream in itself, because it won't feel like a job. If you're super into music and you go into a field working in music, it's not going to be all perfect all the time, but you won't mind, because it'll be something that you truly, genuinely are passionate about and what you love to do, just like people who are into photography or into art. Like if they can be an artist, like that's amazing. But I think maybe it takes time to get there. Like, maybe you have to go through a few jobs that you don't like to set yourself up to be able to follow your dream in that way. I think everybody finds their dream differently and follows it differently. So, yeah, you can definitely go down different career paths before you get there.

Celebrity F Mary Kill Game

Speaker 1

I think yeah, I think pretty much the same thing and it just depends on the person you are like. For me, I went to, I went to college for a semester a few years back and like the kind of person I am is if something's not making me happy, like I can't do it, like I can't do something that I know isn't making me happy or else my mental health goes down the drain. So I think it just depends on the kind of person you are. But I nanny right now, like I nanny kids and like I like doing that. So if I'm doing something that I like and don't hate, then I'll be okay. And I still I'm still working on my passions, like doing this podcast. That's one of my passions.

Speaker 1

Youtube videos, follow your dreams never go all right. We're done. No, I'm just kidding. Okay, and forgive me, guys, because this is my first podcast ever so. Sorry if it's a little uh, not the best.
