|| Lifestyle || Where I've been & What I've been up to

Hello.

Remember me? If not that's quite ok, it's been a while and I've been MIA for quite some time. I've been too focused on specific things or hesitant to go back to things/hobbies that I used to hold dearly.

One of those things that I've been hesitant to go back to is this blog.

For a while I was solely focused on the co-run blog of Danielle LeShea that's been on hiatus for quite some time and even now I don't have an expected return date of D& L. I felt like there was a lot of pressure on myself to create content, a lot of pressure on myself to nudge the co-author of the Danielle LeShea blog to make more content, which led to lack of motivation for the blog and brainstorming on how to regain that same passion that we had the first time we created a post.

In a way, it is a bit of a failed experiment, and there haven't been any changes. Also to note, the most recent posts are previous posts from the D&L blog and I wanted to share those posts with everyone here.

But, for the amount of the time I've been gone I've been through some ups and some downs, mostly downs to put it bluntly but I think I've finally reached a point where I am recovering or at least starting on my road to recovery.

I've been burned out from the rush of applying to Graduate school, stressing myself out over if I actually would get accepted, how would I pay for it? How would I be able to move to the state? Would I need to? What about everything where I currently reside? Etcetera, etcetera.

I've been looking for new opportunities in my job field only to have the dream crushed by self-doubt and lack of confidence and settled for something less.

In a way, I've lost myself from this whirlwind of events. Change is a constant thing and I expect a whirlwind of change both good and bad every now and again, it's how we grow, adapt, become stronger.

After growing, watching and learning from others and support from great friends I've been able to gather broken pieces and courage to do the things I would normally talk myself out of, things that could be beneficial for me and the future that I want to achieve.

Needless to say, I'm back.
