It’s been almost two years since my last post. Why? Well, life, ya know? I haven’t made the time to sit down and share my thoughts.

Since my last post, I graduated college, started teaching, got really into fitness, suffered a major injury, fell into the deepest depression I’ve ever experienced, had two surgeries, gained 50 lbs, moved three times, got engaged, got a dog, then a cat, then another cat, and a hamster, and another dog, went into a coloring phase, then into a jigsaw puzzle phase, and began the never-ending journey of making peace. 

Right now, I’m ready to get my life back to where I want it. I want to run races again. I want to do push-ups again. I want to wake up one morning and NOT feel tired. I want to stop being overwhelmed by the noise around me. I want to escape my thoughts of self-harm. I want to be a better wife to my soon-to-be husband. 

So here’s where I’m at: I started going to the gym again last week. And then I skipped today since I got about 3 hours of sleep. I’m getting back to a high protein low carb diet. 

I just have to keep going.

Will you walk this journey with me? We can laugh together, cry together, and tell life to “hold the crazy” while we order up a big batch of awesome.
