If you had told me in 2018 that I'd soon end up re-trying this whole blog thing, I would've laughed at you. In fact, I did laugh. I laughed at myself for thinking that I could try something again, pour my all into it, avoid getting in my own way, and it would end up working out. And yet here I am, one year later, laughing at the version of myself that ever doubted me to begin with.
It's beyond exciting! To think that I've actually created not just a blog or a brand, but a fun, thoughtful platform to express myself and connect with others is beyond me. Creating this blog has opened my eyes to the idea of growing and thriving by doing the things that fulfill me most. I can write and tell the truth and joke and be thoughtful, and use all of these things to grow (and help others grow) at the same time.
Not every week has been easy. Sometimes I find myself depressed, so I don't write. Or I'm sick, so I don't write. Or I just really don't feel like it, so I don't write. But even with those moments, I still come back, still find myself writing again. I think that's how I know I truly love it; I always come back, even when it's hard.
I want to say thank you. Thank you for coming back every week or whenever you have time to read about my life, my shenanigans, my L's, my W's. You, dear reader, are one of the main reasons I still do this—even thought to do this from the beginning. Thanks for encouraging me along the way (I need all the encouragement I can get), for telling my what you think, and for allowing me to be myself in the feedback you've given. Seriously, I thank you so much. And I love you.
So what's next, you ask? More.
