This year has unfolded beautifully.
And although we still have another few weeks till the official new year, I can't help but reflect.
This year, especially these last 6 months, have taught me so much about myself through this transition of figuring out my new life here in CA.
I finally said no to playing small and really wanted to put all I had into learning to be truly independent on myself and start living life for me.
I wanted to CHOOSE my environment for once and learn how to live in it.
I chose to move to CA for me - to step out of my comfort zone and familiarity so that I could feel ALIVE and make my life worth living for.
I got tired of the 'same s**t, different day' and not being lit up and excited about how I was living my life - and this year I chose to end that repeating cycle and do something else.
Making the decision to move to CA, away from my family and friends, has been the scariest thing I've done in my life AND it has shown me parts of myself I didn't think existed.
Strength, courage, resilience, self-trust, devotion, and a hell of a lot of patience, self-love, and faith.
This isn't the easiest of roads, but it is so worth the struggle as I learn how to hold this beautiful piece of newness and find my OWN way.
It was so hard envisioning my future when I was living in UT - and now I can see so much that's waiting for me to find it.
Now, when I look around, I truly feel like I'm home.
And the only two words carrying me through into 2026 is Hope & Curiosity.
I've come so far this year - and can't wait to see what next year brings. 🥰
