Hi loves! I know it’s been months since I’ve posted here. But how’s life going? That’s the million-dollar question. Honestly, life’s been going well. I can’t complain. I’ve sucked the poison out of my life. (Do you love the Mean Girl’s reference?) and its completely changed my life. So, how’s life going? Great, I can tell you I feel better. I feel more at peace. I feel enlightened.
And mentally? I’ve NEVER BEEN BETTER. Do I still feel there are things I can change? Yes, of course! Work is one of them. I feel like I need a change in my work life. I love what I do but the company and associates around me aren’t good. It’s toxic to me.
Because of this, I’ve stopped working out as much as I was. I’m “TOO TIRED” to work out and that’s not acceptable. I realized that and tried to change it but some days THAT FEELING JUST WINS. I’ve push myself to go for a walk on those days to get some exercise in but to also disconnect from everything. It’s been a game changer.
The toxic work environment is where I struggle with and sometimes it prevents me from wanting to even film content, share my life or come and write my favorite things to you. It’s CRIPPLING the anxiety and then desire to just do nothing that prevents me from writing, filming, and creating.
The Outside Noise
Why do I do that? I had no idea. Nothing. But then I just started opening about how I felt and lost a friend in that process. Losing a best friend is never easy, but sometimes it takes the snake biting you for you to see the difference that makes. After that fallout, my friend group got smaller, wasn’t stressful and less dramatic. I realized I was always feeling like I had to go out, go to dinners, etc. to be normal and honestly, that wasn’t me.
Now I won’t lie, I love to go out and have fun but every weekend it’s not me. I’m a homebody or lets travel to another city type of person. But my friends are incredible and get me and we don’t have any issues, we all get along, we all like our other friends and there’s no drama at all! It’s all peace in girl world.
So, friends all good honestly, the best group of people ever! My family is always great! We got to spend some time together and my grandma has been here since late august and spent my 30th birthday with me. Work is toxic but the clients keep we going and happy. Now comes me. How’s life going? It’s changed but I also feel much better. With my little presence on TikTok I’ve opened about my struggles with food. It comes from a place of insecurity.
I always wanted to be skinny like Victoria Secret model skinny. That start an unhealthy relationship with food but then the older I got and after having emergency brain surgery due to contaminated food it got worse. I’ve been fixing this with the help of my therapist but also being open about it has helped me.
I’ve struggled with food and have episodes of binge eating and then feel worse and mixed it with my already tough anxiety and BOOM! A bad combo but talking about it and realizing its okay and normal helps so much! It takes the weight OF THE WORLD OFF MY SHOULDERS! I couldn’t be more grateful for the circle I have around me and the support from all my social media fam as well. So, how’s life going? It’s going great! Now, I’m ready to take my chance and become the influencer I’ve wanted to be since I started. Now I take charge of my career and my destiny.
How’s Life Going Today?
So, how’s life going? I’m on the up and up and couldn’t be happier. I feel like I can really do anything. I want to share my fears and my issues with others so they can feel like they are not alone. We are ALL STRUGGLING! Some just deal with their issues better than others. I’ve started going more things for me. I recently went to Italy for 8 days by myself and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE.
I realized how strong, resilient, and independent I really am. I enjoyed being alone and dealing with things I was struggling face on. I’m back way stronger, way fiercer, and freer. So, life’s going great, and this is my official return to my blog.
