TLDR: I have been quiet lately… not withdrawn or isolated… just more intentional, I guess. I have shared a lot about my life on social media. I’ve helped a lot of people by doing so, but I’ve felt the need to look inward for the past couple months. For those who are curious, here’s what I’ve been up to…
In addition to working my 9-5 and momming, I’ve been working on getting my massage practice up and running again. Due to financial reasons and some big life changes, it has taken longer than I anticipated. I’m so close though! I’ll be able to start taking clients really soon. I’m excited to start doing what I went to school for and what I love again, even if it’s just on nights and weekends.
I have been going out more lately. While I am an introvert, I was missing connection and my community. It’s been so great seeing my friends, having reasons to get dolled up again, and more reasons to smile. Super thankful for my extroverted friends who drag me out of my cave. 😅
I put myself out there and started dating again. Most of them turned out to be dusties. 😅 Dating in your 30s is rough! 😮💨 I almost gave up. I deleted all the dating apps and everything, but when I wasn’t looking, I met someone wonderful. 😍 It’s still very new and we’re still getting to know each other, but for the first time in a long time I actually feel hopeful… like I might be able to love again… to let somebody love me. I almost forgot what it felt like to have butterflies in my stomach. It’s a pretty amazing feeling. 🥰
I’m still very much devoted to my personal growth and my mental health. My therapist told me that she feels that I am stable and we can start having monthly sessions instead of biweekly sessions. I honestly thought that would never happen for me. 🥲
Three years ago, I checked myself in for a grippy sock vacation. My whole life fell apart. Now I’m thriving in my job, I have my own place where I’m raising my kids, I’m starting a business, I help others struggling with their mental health by sharing my experiences and what I’ve learned, and I’m learning to love and be loved again. ❤️🩹
It’s not all cupcakes and rainbows. Being a single parent is rough. I’m still struggling to get by, but we always have what we need. I still make birthdays and holidays special for my littles. Working full time and having 3 kids means that my apartment is always a mess, but it’s also full of laughter and fun. 🤩 Our kitty, Lottie, has been a great addition to our family, too. 😻
If you’re still here, thanks for sticking around and reading until the end. Thanks for the overwhelming support and being apart of my healing journey. If it wasn’t for a lot of you, I wouldn’t be here today. I’m beyond grateful. My cup runneth over. 🥲🥹
Love y’all. We can do hard things! 💪🏼❤️🩹
