Keep Marching On

This last month has been a roller coaster. It’s been better. I lost my healthcare for a while, and I deteriorated quickly. I’m thankful to have it back, and very thankful for the support I had while I was going through all of that.

One thing is for sure, is that you have to make time for yourself. Have things that are just your own. Taking time to have things that are just mine has been very empowering. I’ve been doing a lot of meditating, and it’s bringing out things I want to explore and pursue. I’ve been reading, and reading, and reading. I am pretty proud that I completed the New Year’s Kindle Challenge and collected all 15 badges.

Something that I am actually very proud of is I did something I haven’t done in a long time last week. I left the house 3 days in a row. All three times willingly, for fun. The first day, I went out to lunch with my parents and ran errands. The next day I went to visit one of my Besties for the afternoon to just hang out. It was seriously so healing for my soul. Then the next day my family went and explored a new part of town that had some cool vintage shops. All three days were exhausting. I crashed on the fourth day, but it wasn’t the worst. But in this time, I realized that I need to learn to protect my peace. I don’t have to engage every dissent. I don’t have to be the one to take on others burdens. I can empower others, but it’s not for me to take on.

I’ve still got so much to work on, but it’s progress and I’ll take it.

I decided to be whimsical and make raspberry champagne coffee with pink cotton candy cold foam in my magical unicorn mug.
