I would be lying if I said this letter does not come with a heavy heart, and sharing it means it is no longer my own. This is nothing special, and it is for you:
The GRAVITY of what I have experienced over the last year scares most — never the tenacious.
In the past year, I have experienced both extreme failure and extreme success.
In the past 9 months, I have lost 102.4 pounds.
In the past 7 months, I have worked out every. single. day.
In the past 5 months, I became independent.
In the past 2 months, I committed to running a Marathon.
In the past month, I decided to pursue a research project that will change many.
In the past 3 months, I learned to love music again.
In the past 4 months, I learned to appreciate what and who I have in my life.
In the past 6 months, I changed who I wanted to become.
In the past 8 months, I learned to Love being Alone with who I am.
In the past 10 months, I changed my environment and who I surrounded myself with.
In the past year, I have learned to redefine GOD as my warrior over reality and make room.
I wrote a lyric the other day that resonates with me, “Can you believe I just turned twenty? I wonder what it’s like to be older than me… and still hurting…”
I grieve different — Different enough to move & change extreme volume.
I can happily say now that I am healed and will always be healing from now on; I made it through the storm, and I know how to wade through extreme pain.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I am able to exist and not sink too deep…❤️

I did a 10k today… I haven’t done a 10k in over 2 years… I’m finally back on TRACK!🏃 (Haha get it? haha… ha.. ha……😀)
Big Brain Move: Don’t let your environment or the people around you stop you from your best self!!!

I’m always learning from everyone around me of what it means to be happy and honest and understanding. This summer has been fun and chaotic and everything between. I’m learning to not change it for the world, but I’m not quite there yet. Thank you to all the people I’ve connected with in the past few months, strangers and old friends, for showing me how to breathe again wherever I’m going. 😊🙂
