Pretty mind blowing to think that a year ago I came to this place… I packed up my subaru and drove 1,300 miles to the coast and a new life. Leaving my family and Colorado home was terrifying but I proved to myself I was brave enough. The amount of growth I’ve experienced in the last 12 months is almost unfathomable. I take myself for granted more often than not, and the journey I’ve been on sure as hell hasn’t gone without its lows, there’s been loneliness, heartache, managing my ever present anxiety, swings of depression I wasn’t sure I’d make it out of, unreasonable expectations from myself and others and a slew of curve balls. At the end of the day though, I know I’ve worked hard to be where I am regardless of others opinions. I am grateful for the messy beginnings of my fresh start. I now have a great job, a man who loves me like I never could have imagined, friends near and far who care and brighten my days, a family so full of love and crazy who I think of constantly, a roof over my head, food in my belly, a reliable car, less debt, laughter, and all the daily adventures big and small. To everyone who has touched my life, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you. Wouldn’t have made it here without you. #personal #stillaliveat25 #anotheryeargoneby #freshstart #grateful #returnedtothesea #coloradomermaid #roadtrip #ontheroad #braverthanyoubelieve
