Conquering a Fresh Start

A fresh start.

There’s nothing quite like it.

 

I don’t think I realized truly what a “fresh start” was until recently.

My pre-adulthood idea of a fresh start was the Monday after a long recovery Sunday of doing absolutely nothing. HAHA. Everything changes after you graduate, DON’T DO IT.  

 

Anyway, I had a “fresh start” epiphany today:

I recently decided to pack up all of my belongings and drive out to LA. 

How millennial of me, right?

 

My first week out here was emotionally hectic.

I was in a limbo (the best limbo though because I was in limbo on the beach… can’t complain about that). I was pushing off everything I needed to do because it’s scary.

I lost all of my confidence. I was doubting myself like I never have before. I was questioning everything about my life. I lost my positive mindset.

 

With that being said – YOU BEST BELIEVE I’M OUT OF THAT LITTLE SLUMP I WAS IN.    

Ya girl is back.

Today I had a moment with myself and I realized that everything about LA is scary, (especially the traffic), BUUUTTTT that is why it’s so worth it.  

 

Life isn’t about taking the easy routes (not for me at least) and that’s what I love most about it.

 

I love the feeling of knowing that my future has the potential to top my best days yet.

I love the chase of a challenge so the feeling of excitement in my gut will never die.

I love the feeling of saying, “it was so worth it.”

 

I’m writing this because I am very open about the self-love I have for myself.

I know I’m a boss and I’m going to conquer the world someday.

But I also know that everyone has those, “I don’t know if I can make it,” days.

So, I am here to remind myself, and whoever stumbles upon this, that we are the coolest people ever and we are in this together.

We are our dreams.

We are our hope.

We are our confidence.

We are our success.

 

I don’t exactly know what’s going to happen next, but I’m going to make it happen.
