Anything about Everything

Hello there!  I apologize for my lack of attention to this blog lately. I decided to make September a month of growth and change, and it has been a rather bumpy ride. Anything worth doing/having wouldn't be easy, right?  For the last 8 months, I have been trying to get into a healthier mindset and head space that allow for complete and honest transformation. I had such a terrible 2017, that I wanted to make 2018 a million times better. I was in a dark place (as mentioned in a few posts) for so long, that seeing life in the light has been a bit terrifying. The dark place was where I felt most comfortable. I could be miserable and no one would judge me - just who I was. I decided to shake off the dark place and find a spot in the warm light. I was afraid to commit to any sort of growth because it meant leaving my comfort zone.   I was sick and tired of being blamed for other peoples misery, negativity, and overall bad energy. Sure, I had my own issues to deal w...

Sometimes in life, you just need to take a step back and reset. Disconnect from the world and get yourself back to a good space, mentally and emotionally. The last week and a half has been just that for me -  a reset and reflect chapter in my story.  I have touched upon this before in previous posts, but anxiety and depression are a part of who I am now.

In an effort to share my experience, I decided to do a little bit of an experiment surrounding possible triggers - and let me just say I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS MONTHS AGO!  When I told my close friends and family that I was planning to shut down my social media accounts for a weekish, not ONE person in that group questioned my decision. This, in turn, helped me make the decision to just shut them down. They all supported my reasons (more to come), and applauded me for making the choice. It's hard to cut so...

Day 27 of 30 Happy third to last day of the challenge!  Apologies for not posting one yesterday - it was a VERY long and busy day spent with my second family, so I decided to take a break for the day. So yes, day 26 is missing. It's okay!  Today's topic: A problem you have or have had in the past This one is a loaded topic - who DOESN'T have problems?! If you don't, then kudos to you. If you do and can relate to this one, also kudos. You're not alone! If you can't relate to it but struggle with problems of your own, know you are also not alone and that there are people in your life that are ready to help you through them!  Overthinking. Is this a broad issue with a crap ton of underlying little nuggets? Absolutely. I'm only going to discuss the surface, and perhaps discuss the rest at a later date.  I started to overthink about 6 and a half years ago. I was in (what I thought) a great relationship, with an incredible human bein...
