Dear Eighteen Year Old Self....

Dear Eighteen Year Old Self,

  This is a time for you to make your own decisions, but take the advice of others as well. Listen to your mothers' advice. She wants to make sure that you're happy and she wants good things for you. Never forget who you are. You are a strong, beautiful, and talented girl who has so much to value to this world.
It's okay to be your own person and not follow the trends of the world. Remember to be in the world and not of the world. Don't try so hard to fit in; the world would be so boring if we were all the same.

Another thing to remember is to talk to your mother about anything, because that's why she's there; to protect you and help you along the way. Don't be afraid to tell her what you're feeling and what is going on in your life. You have so many wonderful and exciting things ahead so don't lose hope. Never lower your standards for anyone, because you deserve someone who treats you right and makes you feel beautiful.
  Look to the future with your head held high and remember to surround yourself with good people. The better the people, the happier you will be.
Love,
Your Twenty-One Year Old Self

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

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.
