Content Creator Real Life

Ready for some real life?

I’ve really been enjoying creating content for here and my blog again. I forgot how much I enjoyed it! I stopped a couple years ago because I was dealing with a lot of grief, but also because my new job took up a lot of my time. At the time I thought this is fine, all that Disney stuff is just fluff and I want to focus on this job more. This thought process was fueled by how the people at my new job made me feel about my love for all things Disney. They would roll their eyes, they would murmur things about me and how young I was, etc. I felt like I couldn’t have both my Disney life and my teaching life. Boy was I wrong and I’m kicking myself for how I let those people affect what I did so much. Especially because of how everything unfolded with that job.

Since I’ve been creating more content again, I’ve tried to stay updated on what national days are coming and what I want to feature on here and on Instagram (with the help of Spark Social of course!) I saw that National Grilled Cheese Day was coming up in April and I thought, “Fun, I’ll make one shaped like Mickey”.

I was excited to try making a Mickey shaped grilled cheese, using NAAN bread instead of regular. However, the NAAN bread we have is smaller and let’s just say my Mickey looks pretty sad.

BUT I decided instead of trying to go out and get bigger pieces of bread, making the grilled cheese etc, I would just post this wonderful messed up cheese sandwich because sometimes life is just like this. Stuff happens and we have the choice of either making the best of a situation or getting upset and feeling like we have to go above and beyond to measure up to this ideal we’ve created in our head.

Here’s the truth I’ve learned. Choosing to make the best of it is the best thing to do. I’ve learned this the hard way and through hard circumstances. This time last year I didn’t know how I was going to make it. I was devastated losing my job that I did well at and that I loved. I felt so lost and sad. But with the help of my mom and sis and lots of prayer with God, I made it. A year later I see how God has worked through all of this, and it’s truly a miracle I’m in the mental place I’m in now. My anxiety has lowered, my health is improving, and my outlook on life has improved so much!

This grilled cheese was a great reminder for me, and I hope it encourages you as well. I hope it makes you smile, I hope it makes you feel better about your cooking skills lol, and I hope it reminds you that life isn’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of what we’re given.
