Helloooooo

Where do I even start?.. It's been at least 5 years since I've last blogged.. simply because I just stopped writing.. I stopped taking the time to pause from life and evaluate what is going on in my life. It's weird to think about it now that I'm 25, I remember in 7th grade wanting to become a journalist.. (update: I work as a Medical Assistant, I know right. Totally different career choice). It wasn't easy getting to where I am today. I kinda wish I did write about it because as I've rediscovered my old blogs and reading what the teenage version of me wrote, I grew up soo much. And I'm sorry to the younger version of myself because I'll admit that 3 years ago I had completely let myself down.. I felt like I was hitting rock bottom, I was really lost, really sad, and really broken all because I let so many toxic things break me. I stopped loving myself and stopped believing in myself.. I'll probably end up writing about significant events later on in another blog. Right now I just want to try to get used to writing my thoughts out.

Writing is therapeutic.

I'm hoping by doing this I am able to truly let go of what has really hurt me, what has made me so shielded. But most of all I want to share my story, whether any one reads this blog, or it's just way for me to give future me reading this some kind of hope..

Blogging has become my open diary, I don't want to filter what I say but at the same time I do because I'm scared of what other's will think or I don't want to feel ashamed of my past.. "my past has made me who I am". I'm not going to hide from it. Like I said earlier it's time for me to let go.. and really just live on. With the on going tragedies that are happening in this world, I owe it to myself to live with purpose.. purpose for each day.
