SIX MONTHS IN

It’s indeed been six months and I am happy to be moving. Mind you, I am not happy that I am where I am, but I am happy I am not where I was six months ago. Six months ago I felt lost, trying to figure out a lot of things, unsure of a lot of things, had dreams but was really scared to figure out how to position them. I was craving for direction in life, I had big plans but lacked the courage to pursue them. I needed support but knew that it would be difficult to get any, but now I look back and I am grateful that I moved with all the fear and uncertainty.

In the last six months I have had to make really hard decisions, especially the ones that completely changed the course of my life. I have had to take on new challenges I never thought I could take, I have had to look within myself to find the strength I needed to conquer battles I lost in the past, but most of all, I have had to learn from my past mistakes and try to do things in a different way. I have watched little things grow into nice things, I have watched my career take great leaps, even my hive account is better, but most of all, the way I see the world is even better.

One area of my life that has healed in the last six months is my mental health. I was a mess even when I did not realize it and it made me feel pressured by a lot of things. Today I am better, I can sleep and wake up with a very light heart. Not all days are splendid, but it is always great going through the rough days with a strong mind and that is exactly what I am doing. I have made improvements in parts of my life that I have always struggled with, even in my dress sense and things I deem important. In a way, I would say I have matured in the last 6 months.
