Brand New

I’ve learned so much about myself recently. I feel like a brand new person every day. It’s hard to keep up with the revolving door of thoughts and decisions entering my mind. I’m astonished by the vast differences of the person I am today, from yesterday, from last week, and most definitely last year.

This time last year, I was scrambling for a transfer at work. I was scrambling for a place to live, in a city that was TBD.  I was scrambling for a love that never existed, with a person I never actually knew. I was going through the motions of a life that I was just scrambling to make my own, without much regard to my true character or passions.

Since last year, I’ve landed amazing opportunities amongst amazing people. People wishing my success as much as myself. I’ve loved and I’ve lost, and I’ve gained so much knowledge of friendships and relationships and what it means to grow up and sometimes grow apart.

I’ve noticed myself blatantly more comfortable around people. Showing up in every moment like its mine.  Challenging myself to make each face smile.

No one’s approval fucking matters.
