It has been 7 months since I last blogged, crazy how time flies while life moves on. The reason I started blogging over a year and a half ago was as a creative outlet. Something to keep me occupied and entertained while school dragged on and as a place to show my personality and creativity. Unfortunately I had to take a long pause from blogging because life happens and it is a confusing journey at times. These past 7 months have been a hard time for me. I guess to put it in simple terms: life happens and not everything that happens is positive or easy. And that is something that people rarely talk about. I feel like I need to explain my absence from this blog. Although no explanation is truly needed, I feel for my own well being I want to explain. In all honesty, I had a rough beginning to the 2016-2017 school year. I got a little lost, and it started with me having truly horrible chronic migraines that disabled me from doing the things I love and functioning from day to day. I was unable to spend time with friends most of the time, be in loud places, complete school work, and really just be immersed in university life. These headaches were not something new to me but they were on another level that made it very difficult for me to live everyday. This did affect my mental health to a point where just getting out of bed in the morning was difficult. I had doctors appointments a couple times a week 3 hours away and so my time as school was limited already. I was truly only surviving, not thriving anymore and that was very hard for me to accept. If I could simply describe that time in my life, I would say I was self destructive. I was struggling. And I am very open about talking about it now because I conquered that. I know it is cheesy to say but I am stronger then I was before this year. I am happier, more confident, and more open. I am looking forward to what is next in life and I am looking forward to seeing where my life takes me. I am trying to do more for me, and less of what I think other people expect or want. And I want to start my blog back up. I want to be creative and show my life to the couple of people who see this. I know my posts used to make even a couple of people smile and that is important to me. So we will see where it goes! For now, this is me and I am happy to make this resolution as of March 27th that my blog is going to be a priority for my happiness and creativity! Unfortunately In the fall and for the beginning portion of this year blogging could not be a priority. Thankfully now I can get back to things and people I love. I feel back on control of my life, and I am so thankful for the people that have gotten me to this point. So... I am excited to get back to the blog and share my life. I'm in the middle of renaming and rebranding so bare with me! Lots of content to come! Yay xo
