My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.

It could be a popular song or one from your favorite Broadway musical. I have lots of favorite songs, but my new favorite song is...

Story Time: Loving Yourself

-
      When I was a senior in high school I went on my first real date. I was so excited because the boy happened to be older than me and really cute. My crazy eighteen year old self thought it was love at first sight, and I thought he felt the same way about me. He was so romantic and charming, and he even kissed me on our first date. That's how I thought he felt the same way about me. When we went on our second date I got the heartbreaking confession from him that there were "lots of other girls after him" even though he told me a number of times through the first date and the second date that he liked me so much. That whole thing made me feel awful about myself. Not only did I experience my first kiss with this guy, but I experienced my first broken heart as well. I felt so awful about myself after that whole thing. How could I have been so stupid?  One of my ways of healing from the break up was to love myself. The only people I needed validation from was from ...
