I fought hard, I mean really hard, to find my way back to myself. Behind the scenes of these pictures there were so many moving parts happening and I was resistant to even capture myself. I had to be talked into posting this vunerablity, but I am glad that I am doing it. I feel lighter.
Have you ever been resistant to do something you know you can do? If so, jump. That is the moment that everything changes. When you face the thing that has been scaring you you gain the confidence and momentum you need to keep going. You will realize the thing you’ve been avoiding isn’t as scary as you made it out to be. The jump is indeed scary, but it won‘t kill you.
Life is hard and it is harder when you start fighting against yourself. If you aren’t living the life you want live take a moment to stop fighting the things holding you back and address them. Work on yourself. I realized in order to make changes I had to change. Is there anything you are fighting?
I could truly go on for DAYS on all the things I had to go endure to get to this moment. I had to pick myself up so many times, many tears were shed, random screaming in the car while my daughter slept, and nights looking around my room aimlessly wondering how’d I get here. So, when I tell you I fought HARD to get to this moment of freedom for myself I mean it. I rebuilt myself single handily - brick by brick day in and day out.
When you feel like you are at rock bottom or close to it .. don’t give up. The thing about the bottom is you can only go up from there. You get the chance to rebuild a solid foundation. What is better than that? Now don’t get me wrong the bottom fucking sucks, but nothing is worst then staying there and staying stuck.
Life is tough but I believe if you are reading this you are tougher. You were built for hard for things. You were built to last. You were made for this. You were made to do great things. I believe in that. I believe in that because if I can pick myself up from cancer and then motherhood all within a two year timeframe during a global pandemic so can you! You got this.
Build yourself EVERYDAY. There will be days where you have to do it with tears streaming down your face or force yourself to just make it through the day, but keep going.
Lean in to whatever it is you are feeling. FEEL ALL THE FEELS and keep striving for whatever your dream life is. Fight for yourself. Fight for your peace. Fight for your boundaries. FIGHT FOR YOU. You are worth the fight.
Signed,
a fucking fighter.
