New Season

Wow, a whole month has gone by real quick since I’ve last updated this page. A lot of changes have happened these past few weeks. My move to Dallas was super smooth, thankfully. I flew with four damn luggage bags from Pittsburgh LOL. Seven years wrapped up in 4 bags (impressive right???). But I’m all settled into my new place in Dallas and absolutely love where I’m living. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

I also purchased a car, which I’m getting used to adding it part of my routine — like car wash, filling the gas tank, getting it checked, cleaning it, just adult things etc. I’ve also been re-connecting with old friends and making new friends here. I reflect and literally think how a year ago, I wouldn’t have thought about being in the life journey I’m in. I feel extremely blessed. (LITERALLY #blessed).

What have I been doing? Let me tell you, my ass struggled during investment banking training in Pittsburgh but we made it (barely though fr fr lmao.) Work has kept me busy — that’s all I’m going to say about that. The learning curve for me has been high and it continues to be— both professionally and personally. You know that feeling when you’re destined for greatness but you don’t know how to truly to explain it? Like something BIG is suppose to happen in your life? That’s the feeling I have. I honestly can’t explain it.

BUT. What I do know and I was having a conversation with a mentor about this: I NEED TO RISE THE FUCK UP. What I mean by this is: I need to continue to improve myself and rise to the occasion so that others can rise to the occasion.

There’s someone out there that is depending on me to rise so that they can rise.

And that’s something that I’m constantly reminding myself whenever I feel incapable of accomplishing something. Everyone has those moments when they’re down, and I think it’s normal. I’m not positive all the time. I remind myself that the storm will pass. But I also think it’s important to remind yourself that you can honestly do whatever you set your mind to and that time is just a concept. Not trying to get metaphysical here but time was just created so that we can literally keep track of night and day and how long humans last on this earth. And since we all die at some point, might as well say you gave it your all in this lifetime.

ANYWAY. One of the things I’m still working on is learning how to be more unapologetically myself. The thing about life, which I’m sure many of you can relate to is that there will always be seasons. Seasons of many changes and decisions. These decisions dictate who you allow into your life and it matters because that’s energy that influences your season.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Just know that I’m always rooting for you and always choose yourself. Never feel shame for changing. Change is normal.

Until next time — which I don’t know when but I’ll try in two weeks.
