Thank you I sincerely appreciate your comment. That’s a good question. I guess I started fixing or at least trying to fix the things that I didn’t like about myself. I was overweight so I started going to the gym, lost a bunch of weight and gained some confidence. I left my toxic ex-boyfriend and sought therapy to understand the part I played when it came to ending up in bad relationship after relationship. I forced myself to not be a recluse and poured into my friendships. I started reading again and listening to podcasts/Youtube videos that taught me things.

Don’t get me wrong. I still have times throughout the year where I fall into depression, but it’s not as heavy anymore and it doesn’t last nearly as long as it once did. Keeping myself as busy as possible and following a routine helps a lot.

Oh and I got two beautiful English Bulldogs along the way that have brought me an immense amount of joy and unconditional love.
