6 Months...

"When you look back at this moment in 6 months, your life will be unrecognizable." - My Mom

Isn't it crazy how quickly life changes without us really noticing? Everything is constantly evolving; relationships, work, life

routines, etc. For me, it seemed like all of these things changed in a blink of an eye. One day I was a college student, living on her own, in a three year long relationship. Now I am single and a college graduate, living at home, and working a full-time job that I honestly don't enjoy. I cut ties with my toxic friends and made it my mission to put myself first for once.

Since all of this was happening at once, I finally realized how unhappy I had been and I was disappointed that I didn't do a better job of taking care of myself. I wasn't sure where to start now that I was back at square one, but I did what any twenty-one year old would do and looked it up. For the last 6 months I have dedicated my efforts into doing things that make me happy. And like the saying goes, "your 20s is the time to be selfish," and that exactly what I have done.

I can't say I wake up everyday to the sun shining and rainbows gleaming, but I know that if the person I am today, met the person I was 6 months ago, we would not recognize one another. I made this blog as a safe place to talk about problems and learn how others found ways to put their happiness first. Maybe someone will see this at a time when they need it most, hopefully use it as a sign to put themselves first as well.
