BRAIN DUMP

Hey, it's been a while since I last updated. A lot has happened. I went to Asia for the first time- the best solo trip (and only) I've ever taken. I also spent my birthday there and was gone for about a month and a half. Remember that boyfriend I talked about in the last chapter? Yeah, we broke up at the end of the year (literally the last night of the year), but it was mutual. I wrote a couple books, a novel, and too many novellas. I started an e-commerce business. A LOT happened. But I missed just brain dumping on here, so here it goes.

I learned something over the last few years: life is going to life whether you like it or not. Some days are going to be harder than others. Your name will be dragged through the mud, mine was all of last year. You'll lose friendships, encounter heartbreaks, and want to give up entirely, wasting away as a couch potato. I know because I've been through it. I've had to pull myself out of too many depressive episodes just within the first three months of 2025 because of everything that happened in 2024. But I'm so much better than I was at the start of this year. I'm taking my health- mental, physical, and emotional- more seriously, getting lost in nature, getting closer to God (or at least trying my best to), and putting in the work to make my dreams and goals a reality that aligns with God's plan for my life.

Yes, it's been hard. Yes, it's been annoying. Yes, there have been days when I didn't even want to get out of bed. But I remembered who I was and where I wanted to be this time next year. That was my motivator to do the work.

So this is my telling you to do the work. Have a vision of where you want to be, who you want to be, three months, six months, even a year from now, and do the work to get there. I believe in you.

That's my brain dump for now. See you on the next update ☺️🫶🏽
