What better way to get closer to my virtual friends, I tell you all my business. Right now I am in my “transformation” phase in life. My eyes are finally starting to open to all of the possibilities that are available to me.

The best part about this phase I am in is I am putting myself first. This time with intention. That goes without saying sometimes I have to inconvenience myself sometimes for my friends. Dont judge me on this. We have all been there. The nights that we just want to stay in and put on a movie but girls night was planned weeks in advance. So you reluctantly show up only to end up having one of the best nights of your life.

This version of putting myself first means that I am finally taking care of myself and not just suppressing it. For instance, walking away from people and not sticking around for the possibilities. This goes back to not being a bird. Let me tell you, being a bird takes a lot of energy that I just dont have. Plus the behavior is kind of embarrassing. Walking away has definitely boosted my confidence. Another thing to add to that, putting myself first is removing myself from situations that I know dont have the best interest for me.

I have also learned the joys of saying no. Right now the world is upside down especially with how expensive everything is. Sometimes saying no is because I genuinely need to be saving coins. and I am not going to feel guilty because I have to be mindful of my situation. I also love the fact that I am making sure to do all of my hobbies and interests.

This post was all over the place, thanks for sticking around. If you dont do anything this week put down your phone and discover the things you actually like to do. Cook that meal with the tv off, read that book that has been on your TBR list for forever.

I am beyond blessed and thankful for how far I have come in life. I am finally happy to be independent. Yes, it is hard but nights like this when I can fully relax and unwind its priceless.
