1 Year Ago

I felt the darkness closing in.
It was the lowest point that I have ever been.

So many changes were coming my way.
I had no idea that most would happen in May.

I remember pulling myself forward into the New Year. Feeling emotions that were far from cheer.

I prioritized myself for the first time in a long while. Beginning a better mental, physical and emotional lifestyle

I kept my true friends and family close and kicked the toxic people out the door. Talking to someone about my feelings and getting to the core.

I went on a journey to discover what I really wanted out of life. I had to make a list and of course, prioritize.

And I knew that a brighter chapter of my life was beginning and that this dark chapter had finally come to an end.

So, appreciate the people in your life, you never know what the future holds. And don’t be afraid to take risks, it’s okay to be bold.

Don’t be afraid to say yes to prayers, therapy, or friends/family wanting to be there. Because sometimes life just isn’t fair.

So take that trip to Europe or start those salsa dancing lessons that you always wanted to try.

Don’t get stuck in a routine while life just passes you by.

Feel whatever emotions that you are feeling. And talk or write about your emotions for some healing.

Say nice things about yourself and treat yourself with the respect that your deserve. And spread nice things about others just like “Psst, have you heard?”

I don’t pretend to be an expert, I’m just telling you what I learned. You can certainly throw it out of your mind and pretend that you never heard.
