It's ok to live a life that other's don't understand

Some say we only live once.. but I disagree with that statement.. I think we have the choice to live a different life every day we are on this planet. You can live many different chapters in one life time, and I think that is so fricken kick ass. I look at my life in chapters. I have chapters that I don't read outloud. A part of me lived and died in those chapters. As hard as some of those were, they made me into who I am today. I was around my big extended family today, and I was being constantly questioned about my future. Why am I moving? When am I coming back? What does my job look like? What is my living plan? What about the dogs?.. so many questions, and I had answers, but maybe not answers that made sense to them. Why move if you have a house here and a life here?.. I'm sure many wanted to ask those harder questions, but they kept them to themselves. They were all supportive once I explained what I wanted for my future, and I appreciated that! The answer is pretty simple, I'm moving because I want too. I'm moving because I deserve to live a life I am proud of! I want to be closer to the mountains as they are the place I feel most alive. I'm 26, single and have a job that allows me to work from anywhere right now! This is the perfect time for me, and I am proud to live a life that others don't always understand.

I stopped waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel, I lit that bitch up myself

I'm tired of being complaisant. I'm tired of day dreaming of a life that I want but never doing anything about it. I am tired of the same old shit with little excitement or change.. and more than that I am tired of complaining about where I'm at and yet choosing to do nothing about it. Growing up I was told that "good things come to those who wait." But what if we switch our mindset to say "good things come to those who hustle".. Good things come to those who work their asses off, and promote change in their lives. They grab the bull by the horns and live every single day like it's their last. What if we chose to live our life with a different mantra, would you still be living your life as you are today?.. The answer to that question for me was no. I had a flip of my mindset earlier this year, and decided to stop waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel and to lit that bitch up myself. I am allowing myself the power to move forward. I am allowing myself to jump the line of life, and live a life I'm proud of now! I hope you take this journey of self discovery seriously and start living a life you are excited to be apart of. One that says you are way more than mediocre. I hope you are along for this crazy ride of change with me! Here is to the days that makes you fall a little more in love with yourself.

get up.. get going..

get up.. get going.

I was focused on my physical health the end of last year but really fell off the wagon -shocking- I now realize that I NEEDED to focus on my mental health before I could really throw myself into my physical health.

It wouldn't have mattered if I lost 50 pounds, I wouldn't of been happy. I STILL would of had a rain cloud raining on my parade because I was not mentally well.

Since seeking therapy, getting things off my chest, learning about boundaries, practicing how to put myself before anyone else, and to put it simply, working on my mental health, I am now ready to start working on my physical health.

I am starting slow, I have a few challenges for myself in May! 1. NO EATING OUT / NO FAST FOOD 2. WALK THE DOG(S) DAILY 3. NO POP / CHOCOLATE

Everything else I choose to do on top of these is extra and I am so darn excited to give it everything I got to stick to this challenge.

I am excited to keep working on my mental health but also adding my physical health into this process of change as well.
