Welcome To My Journey
"The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit of everything in them. And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you're brave enough to be yourself. There are parts of you that you have yet to discover. There is greater love that you have yet to find. There are experiences that are far beyond your imagination. And it's all waiting for you. so set aside your expectations and go explore it"

Hey There!
I've spent most of my life making decisions based on what I thought would make others happy; what college I went to and what my major was to what job I worked. I was making these decisions not necessarily for me, but because I thought they would please my parents or significant other, but I never felt satisfied with what I was doing. It wasn't until a major breakup and some big life changes that I took a step back and really examined my life, mental health and how I valued (or rather undervalued) myself.
It was time to start living for me.
So here I am. Figuring out, one day at a time, what makes me happy and sharing my journey with others. I'm learning to really take care of my mind, body and soul and explore who I am outside of the expectations and opinions of others.
...
This space is my way of documenting my experiences and sharing the blood, sweat and tears that go into finding your voice and marching to the beat of your own drum.
