Every year we get to the end of what feels like the longest week of the year.

That week where none of us know what day it is, most of us get a cold, some of us are broke, tired, and most of us…really just can’t wait for January.

Yea, this week. 😆

For me…I don’t look back often.

I don’t wallow in the “what could’ve beens” or the “I wish I did that differentlys.”

I reflect for the sake of gratitude.
Now that I’m in my 30’s…. I feel like each memory or relationship that was way back when…feels farther and farther away. Almost like another life, really they kind of are. We are the same as before, yet seasoned.

That high school sweetheart…
That best friend you grew up with…
Maybe even the friend that moved away…not too long ago, everything feels distanced.

I use this time to go, “ HOLY S**T, look how far I’ve come.”

And I have. Luckily I still have the people that Mean the most in my life. Aside from my sister and brothers, my parents and immediate fam, I find these pics of what built me.

The people.

I never was materialistic, I have a nice place and nice car…and even those I’m tired of.

I never NEEDED any THING to feel good about myself.

I Need the people I vibe with most. The people that call to check in on you even when you’re not the best friend you could be back. The aunts who go through surgery but still check in to see when they can fit in a little time with you.

The memories, the truth, the love.

I’ll never fight for anything less than those I care about and I’ll always be, who I have ALWAYS been.

I’m so grateful for where I am. Even though I may work myself into the ground sometimes, it’s the sick days, and the lonely nights that I sit back and remind myself how lucky I am.

The darker days are behind me. Let there be lighter ones in 2023 for all of you. ❤️

Are you ready? #2023

Goal for next year…

Don’t be “That Bitch.” 🙄

We all have control over how we treat our bodies. I choose to have balance and enjoy myself.

BUT, when I notice I’ve pushed the scale to the side of gluttony and self-DISRESPECT…

I dial back in. 🌮

Life is not linear, neither is your health. There will be ups and downs. There will be consequences…for everything. Do not starve yourself to get the body you want..I PROMISE you that you’re doing more harm then good.

Self-care is eating more.

Everything is going to be, ok.

This year, my life was turned upside-down. I thought I was losing control of everything. For a couple of months …I was so torn apart, depressed, and lost, even my clients felt it.

It took me sitting in the darkest place of my life, to find my truth.

I didn’t have hope. I didn’t want to get out of bed, I was so traumatized that I made myself sick, I got the flu, and a week later I got covid. I didn’t eat…I didn’t workout. I was losing touch.

One day, someone said something to me that made me wake up. This something hurt, bad. And I took a step back and asked myself, “why am I allowing myself to fall?”

I took control.

I slammed all the doors on things in my life that caused me pain, ill , or lack of .

I created action, motion without thinking. I made s**t happen.

I shot with the I’ve always wanted to shoot with, 📸!!

I placed first in one class and second in another, in my first in 9 years. 👙

I moved into an apartment that I love. 🏡

I found a new groups of friends that I adore. 💛

And I have traveled to places, and opened myself to people I wish I had a long time ago.

For me, I don’t have any regrets. I don’t beat myself up about time I’ve wasted, or mistakes I made.

I always move FORWARD in motion.

How can I be better?
What can I offer others?
How can I enjoy life and laugh more?
How much balance can I have with health?
What’s the next step in creating a better ?

I don’t look back on my past-selves as bad or naive parts of me. They’re only chapters.

Im so happy with how I’m ending my #2022. 🤍

The future is beautiful.

It’s not about giving your everything to everyone else. It’s about tending your own garden, 🪴 then providing for others.

Build your foundation first and what you have to offer others becomes entirely different. 🫀

I can’t tell you how many times I changed my hair, my job, my focus…just to feel relevant. Some say
comes with age, I believe confidence comes from enduring.

Just like breaking down/Tearing fibers, going through the process, and repairing them to be better…I believe is one giant muscle.

We’re constantly tearing our fibers, regrowing…and becoming better with every painful event.

Whenever I feel uncertainty coming or a sense that I feel out of control of the “outcome” of something…I ask myself why.

After, I remind myself that I am WHERE I am SUPPOSED to be. No matter how hard, painful, or difficult something might be, I’ll always come out on the other side of it, BETTER.

STRONGER. More CONDITIONED.

When that unsettling feeling passes…I always know I made the right choice to endure and let go of what’s to come.

Lo Capirai Amore Mio. 💋🤘🏼

Don’t panic.
