Life has always been a journey and finding my purpose was harder. Where i fit in, where i belong, who i am? Question circling my mind like a thousand butterflies. I wasn't beautiful just average. I didnt have long hair and my clothes hang from my body like a garbage bag. All of this didnt change until i found out my Journey. The Journey within. I became more adventerous in what i do. I socialized more, built confidence and learnt what I felt was real. Notice what i felt. With journeys there or trials and bigest one was the day i met christopher. After two years of dating Christopher i just felt like i was going back to my old self, but it was official when i met him in bed with his boss that invited us over for dinner many times. I had to learn to build my self up again. I packed my bag that same night when i kicked both of them out of my apartment. I needed to get away. I bought my ticket to mexico and handed in my keys to my land lord. I just wanted to start over. Arriving to mexico allowed me to take my mind off of the things going wrong. The culture was just beautiful, the festivals full of colors and children running up and down. The food was on another level of beautiful and tasteful. Spending my getaway made me stay in mexico. I learnt spanish and helped out with charity work. I made friends that supported me when i think back to the day that bought me here. Sometimes i wonder if maybe it didnt happen i  wouldnt be here, but they thought me to be optimistic. To think about the future and not the past. These Journeys are what I'm most grateful for. Yet, my journey was not over. Inspired by mexico i opened up a restuarant. It was going beautiful until one day it was all gone. I woke up with my dreams in ashes. My restuarant was burnt to pieces. You may say i have bad luck but all of these things were just to make me stronger. So here i was now an succesful author of my book finding life. I am a motivational speaker for 6 charities in mexico. I now have enough money to build restuarants across the globe and its all because of my struggles.
