What makes you, you?
I have asked myself that question, oh, about a million times throughout my life. At 40, I still don’t have all the answers. Over the years, I’ve been a College Student, a Teammate, a Friend, a Co-Worker, a Wife, a Mother and most recently a Stay at Home Mom. I have been a failure – I’ve suffered setbacks and regrets; a disappointment – to myself, my family and my loved ones; a letdown- to those who counted on me; I’ve been cheated on and heartbroken.
I’ve struggled… but who hasn’t?
Looking back, I am happy to say I have overcome my fears, learned from my failures and have worked hard to fix my mistakes. I am still working on my broken heart, but in time, it too will heal.
If you can’t reflect on both the good and the bad in your life, how can you, as a person, grow?
I am here today to start the next chapter of my journey and I am looking deep within to find, me. The me that has been locked inside through all the ups and downs. The me that is finally ready to be present and rise above all the past chaos. The me who is comfortable with the skin she is in and the direction she has taken. The me who has been waiting – just under the surface – to be found.
I can feel her… she is so close to letting herself… live.
