One day.

One day you live in your childhood home, the next you live 1400 miles away.

One day in your life you think you know who you are going to marry and be with for the rest of your life and then the next, you find out they have a new girlfriend and are expecting a baby with her.

One day you have your dream job, with dream coworkers, and are enjoying life, then the next you are laid off and struggling.

But then, one day, you decide that this is your life and you are going to be in control of it.

I decided one day, July 2022, that enough was enough and I was going to be happy and work on myself.

I started writing.

I started making lists of goals.

I started going to the gym.

I started setting boundaries.

I stopped negative self-talk.

I stopped putting myself in situations where I was uncomfortable.

I stopped communication with many people.

I started loving myself.

I started finding my confidence.

I started to do things for ME.

As scary as this concept can be, doing things for you will lead you down the right path. You may become a little lonely at times, but the only person that needs to show up for you, is you.
