A lot can change in a year....
In March 2020 (swipe left)
I was
- Newly single, alone + very lonely in nursing school
- Carless, no drivers license
- Depressed like a hot mess
- Spending $$$ and going out when I was making less than $10 k a year. I skipped a meal, sometimes two a day 😖
- Going to cafe’s, bookstores, and outings alone
- Crying myself to sleep
- Dating random people— anyone who would give me any ounce of attention
- Anxious about finding my first nursing job and worried about COVID
- Feeling like a failure at 21– like I had to catch up or do something amazing— that I would never be the nurse I wanted to be
Life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. I was suffering silently.
In March 2021 (swipe back):
- happily partnered + surrounded by those I know who are on my team/ love me
- licensed + have my dream car (post soon 😉)
- Sad sometimes, but happy more often
- On a budget, saving, and will probably break $200k+ this year and have my own apartment!
- Going to outdoor places + wining and dining with my lovely boyfriend + friends safely
- Dating someone who admires me for my soul, not body
- Working my dream job and in a lot of ways have helped with the COVID testing as a side hustle
- Feeling proud at 22 after creating my first digital product / coaching biz and grateful for all that I’ve been through.
Where you are right now is not where you will be forever. If it’s not a blessing, it’s a lesson. When hings get hard, remember, one foot in front of the other.
You can have yours too. Never forget that whatever you are going through is only temporary. Things change, and so can you. My level up was gradual. Celebrate your small wins. ✨🙌🏻
