Narcissists & Boundaries

Hey Besties! Welcome to the second week of Benson Bootcamp, a boot camp specifically designed to help you become the best version of yourself, no matter how bad it hurts. It’s called BOOTCAMP for a reason, duh!

This week on Almost Adulting we’re having the difficult discussion about boundary setting. Though it may be hard, these realizations will not only be long-lasting, but also help you love yourself a little more. Violet tells an in depth story about her friend who possesses the fatal victim mentality flaw. Ya know, that kind of friend who never fails to make EVERYTHING about themselves, and when you finally cut them off your life becomes inexplicably better? Yeah, that type. But that’s what setting boundaries can do. It aids you in protecting your mental health, having inner peace, and taking control of your own emotions and thoughts even when you don’t have control over other people’s words and actions. Besties, if there’s one thing you take from this please let it be that you are NEVER selfish for setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. You are your biggest advocate and supporter, now act like it!

Why We Love Difficult People

In the 3rd installation of Benson Bootcamp, Violet covers a topic that we often avoid. Why do we love difficult people? This discussion is difficult because it often forces us to look inwardly, and see what unresolved issues we have - that are allowing us to believe that allowing these people to stay in our lives is okay. But it’s okay Besties, we’re gonna get through it together, because we’ve ALL been there.

This week on Almost Adulting, Violet starts off with the reasons why we likely fall for the wrong person, armed with a huge ego and a wounded inner child he never knew existed within him. That guy who gives you mixed signals and then leaves you hanging when they have their fun. While difficult people can be frustrating and draining, they also have the ability to help us become better versions of ourselves. And this is possible when we start to love ourselves a little more, see our own value, understand what we truly desire in life. Bestie, it’s finally time to drop that toxic relationship, friendship, or whatever it is. Do it NOW - you will only thank yourself later.

Benson Knows Best: SENDING MY PARENTS TO ISRAEL

Hey there, Besties! Ready to catch up on some fun and thoughtful moments from my life? Well, here we go! So, lately, I've been all about embracing spontaneity. I mean, life's too short to not do the occasional crazy thing, right? From wild adventures to trying out new hairstyles, it's been a whirlwind of excitement. But you know what they say, even your hair holds memories. It's like a little time capsule on top of your head!

Now, speaking of memories, I've stumbled upon some pretty awesome quotes lately that got me thinking about life in a whole new way. But it's not all about the philosophical stuff. I also surprised my parents with a fantastic vacation trip, and boy, that was something! On the family front, my dad's the ultimate pessimist while my mom, well, she's the eternal optimist. It's like living in a sitcom sometimes! So, if you're wondering why I'm all about staying open and vulnerable, despite life's ups and downs, stick around. There's a whole lot of candid conversation coming your way.
