Stop Being So Hard On Yourself

Dear beautiful universe, 

Why are you always being so hard on yourself?

You want to conquer the world and combat imperfections,

But when something goes wrong, you turn into Freakazoid…

Is absolute perfection possible?

When you try to reach for the stars,

It may take lots of tries;

You will eventually get there if you persevere.

Is the ultimate goal of happiness achievable?

When opportunity and joy meet, it becomes bliss,

But will you let yourself feel your feelings?

Reality may be painful,

But you have to accept faults before you can fly…

Feelings can’t be ignored

Or they will make a vengeful return.

You need to accept perfection not being plausible 

And fight your battles day by day;

The stars will be yours as long as you pursue a higher power each day.

Faith, friendship, and love will help you triumph as long as you believe in them… even if takes 800 tries

You don’t have to beat yourself up over small losses if you can get up afterward;

You will win the game as long as you stay standing and keep fighting!

Love,

Rebs! <3

Review of Observa Gig App

Need a few quick bucks? Download an app called Observa. Observa is where you take pictures of signs or other things of the sort to make sure companies are displaying certain products properly. I had never even heard of it before until randomly downloading it while looking for gig apps, but it is legit and they did pay me (via Paypal). The verification took maybe 6 hours or so, but I received payment on the same day. When I did my first gig with this app, I was able to pull up a list of opportunities, which wasn’t bad to scroll through. It told me the address and how much I’d make, as well as the estimated time it would take to finish the gig and I decided to give it a try. I drove 10min from my apartment to a cigar shop to take some pictures of Zippo lighters and its display. First, I wanted to talk to the managers to make sure I wasn’t being a weirdo and to see if it was ok to take pictures of stuff in the store. Luckily that particular place was extremely friendly, but some places may not be (it warns you in the tutorial video). I was able to watch a tutorial video to show me what to do before going into the store without having used this app at all. There was also clear directions on what to do and take pictures of in the store so I wouldn’t run into any problems. I would recommend accepting an opportunity if you’re going to do it right away. I wish there were more opportunities near my apartment, but this is something I wouldn’t recommend driving super far away to do because they won’t reimburse you on gas. If you want to make a lot of money, this isn’t the app for you, but if you need a few quick bucks or are bored and want to make some money, Observa is the app for you. Most gigs pay you in the 7 dollar range and they take about 15 or so minutes to complete. You need at least 4 dollars to be able to cash out. Enjoy!
