About Me
Sometimes it takes losing yourself to find your truest self.
I had the higher level education, the husband who loves me and has a good job, the house, the kids, but I didn’t know who I was or was becoming.
I had been checking off boxes outside of me, but no one ever said to work on the INSIDE.
I never saw people model that. It was just grind, grind, grind. Be happy with what you have. 😳
I worked hard at doing the things and acting the right way to stay inside the lines. Careful to never being “too much” of anything.
Life was lackluster for me but I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t think life could be any other way.
I had to keep asking myself “am I happy? Is this what happy feels like? I can’t tell. I think I SHOULD be happy because I have all these things, my family, etc, right?” But something inside me kept feeling off. (Hint: if you aren’t sure whether or not you’re happy…. you’re likely not. And that’s OK.)
It wasn’t until I started losing my high school friends, that I started questioning if this was really all there was to life, and began my search for more.
It was absolutely terrifying at first, but the more I stepped out of my comfort zone and starting seeing my own self worth, around people who could catch the broken pieces of me and still love me for me, the freer, happier, stronger, more confident, more expansive my heart grew, the more I loved people and ME. Yeah, that was a first.
Was it/is it scary? Yes.
Is it worth it? Absolutely.
Would I ever go back to the old me? Never.
How do I describe this feeling of endless possibility that I have been experiencing over the past few weeks, (maybe it’s only been days), but time is moving SOOO slowly.
⠀
The last time I felt this way, (6 yrs ago) my life began changing drastically for the better. 🥰🙌
⠀
Realization: What lights me up is finding out what lights OTHER PEOPLE up. I truly believe that life is more fun when we follow what excites us.
⠀
For many years, I was too shy to explore what made me happy. I somehow believed I didn’t deserve it, nor knew how to find happiness, or believed that happiness costs money (vacations, stuff, etc). So I stopped searching, stopped listening to my heart, and just went with the flow.
⠀
…Did things I thought I SHOULD (seriously a word I have come to detest…can we just stop “should-ing” on ourselves?!) do, because it was “safer.”
⠀
Part of this makes me so angry; how is unhappiness SAFER or more ECONOMICAL for anyone?
⠀
As a new mom, I learned that it was SELFISH to want to do something that made me feel beautiful, or attractive, or want to pursue my dreams, because the kids & house needed my attention and care. [Anyone else learned that untruth or was it just me?] So I suffered in silence, slowly feeling more resentful of my family and more out of control of my life…
⠀
Fast forward to today: I’m beyond grateful that I got myself out of that situation and mindset because it’s ABSOLUTELY necessary for us to pour into ourselves in order to be a better parent, spouse, significant other, child, friend, coworker, etc.
⠀
It’s hard for others to love me when I didn’t love myself.
⠀
Self love is VITAL. Imagine if more people loved, appreciated, were proud of themselves, believed in themselves….what do you think the world would look like? I’ll tell you; friggin GORGEOUS.
