Letter to Myself

-
  Dear Eighteen Year Old Self,
 
   You are beautiful and powerful. You don't need to fit in to be cool. Embrace yourself for the amazingly talented woman you are. Remember you have a wonderful family who loves you and you don't need the validation of anyone else, especially those who don't see you for your value. 
Don't worry about falling in love right now. You have plenty of other wonderful things in store that are more important. Throughout your life you are going to meet so many people and at some point you will find who you're supposed to be with. Focus on your hobbies, family, your education, and making new good friends. Focus on you and what you need. 

You will still deal with some trials, but they will only make you stronger. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Remember to rise above your challenges. 

Go out there and take the world by storm. 

    "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -Winnie the Pooh
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.
