YES this is technically cheating I guess, but then again it is the principle after all and what this journey has taught me up until now.
One year ago today I was someone else entirely- someone that was not happy and someone who did not recognize the person in the mirror. So what did I do? I set out to achieve a bunch of random acts & tasks. What did it do?
Well let’s take a look shall we…. I am 7.3kgs less of a person with my last 6 in sight. I am no longer ruled by habits or by the skeletons I left in my closet. I now rule them!
Something else started to happen- a part of me that I let die kind of clawed it’s way back to life. The woman others I let destroy…like a dormant super power…it found its way back to me & I now I am ready to embrace the rest of my 30’s. Not with vengeance, hatred or with anything to prove- quite the opposite it actually. I now live for me!
I am sure a few of my friends have wondered what the hell happened to me and why I have been vacant from my life and theirs. Here is my answer: in order to understand who I am I had to walk away long enough to see who they are. Are the people in your life there for the right reasons? Do they care? Will they notice your absence? Most wont and that is because most people put number one first & after 10 years of putting myself last on a very long list, I have changed that.
I have not made any major progress on the 30- which I will update and repost later today but what this journey has done is change me & given me drive and purpose.
I look forward to what comes next.
