The Power of Choice
When we are faced with a challenge in life and we are asked to make a choice, there is never a good or bad decision. As I believe we are meant to go through certain obstacles to help us appreciate the journey as a whole. There may be times where you look back and feel like you could of handled the situation better, but instead of feeling regret, understand you have now learnt from it & if you're ever up against the same situation again, it's possible to approach it differently. I do not believe in the perfect human being, this is why I feel it's important to be open to learning and growing as a person.

Is Having Friendships Crucial?
Throughout school I always felt like there was pressure that you needed an army of friends. Friends that would back you in any situation, maybe even help avoid any bullying if that was to occur—the more friends, the cooler you were, right? You couldn't be more wrong.

Self Worth Should Be Priority
Self worth—you need to find yours! I have a strong belief in self worth, I believe it's something that not enough people put first. I feel like many rely on others to make them feel good about themselves; They rely on others to make them feel worthy, beautiful, important, loved, the list could go on. The problem with this is that when that comes to a stop, the average human response is to seek validation from another to feel that worth. And when/if that doesn't happen, desperation comes in to play. You may settle for a partner that you know isn't right or a job that you don't enjoy, because you don't feel like you will find another. Self worth is about saying no to the people who don't treat you right, because you deserve the best. Many people rely on a romantic relationship, friends, family or a job for a sense of identity but it is important to ask yourself who you are, without your attachment to others. Ask yourself: What are your beliefs, what do you want to achieve in life, what makes you happy, what do you want to be remembered for, what's your dream, what drives you? And if something or someone was to come along and try to push you in the opposite direction of your dreams & ambitions, how would you react? Would you give it all up for another who didn't support or believe in you; or would you remove yourself from a situation if anyone was to try and jeopardize your dreams? Deep down you know exactly what you're capable of. There will be moments where you get a glimpse of all the potential you have. You will get there. You just have to be willing to sacrifice the habits, objects, relationships & situations that are standing in the way of your success. I have walked away from people that have tried to hold me back, because I know my potential, I know what I want & what I deserve. Life is short, too short to waste your time with people that don't see what you're capable of. Surround yourself with like minded others, who support you. Don't allow people with toxic intentions negatively affect you, it comes from understanding what you deserve.

When is the Turning Point?
Where do I begin? February of 2018 is where everything started to change. Throughout the years I slowly began to lose who I was. Every birthday that came around, I would question where my life was going. I wasn't happy in the relationship I was in and my future seemed rocky. I knew I had so much more to offer, but my purpose wasn't clear. I began to doubt everything I was doing; was this was a mid life crisis? I'm not sure, but what I did know is I was slowly destroying myself by putting other people before myself. I was sending myself to rock bottom—I knew I was doing it but I didn't know how to fix it. I felt trapped. And just when I needed it, life threw me a few curve balls to help open my eyes.
