Blog revamp

I turned 30 the beginning of this year, and so I want to pick up a new hobby. I think blogging will help me release some stress so I’ll start blogging weekly. :)

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.

Finding myself.

One day I woke up from my sleep questioning myself, my existence, accomplishments, goals, who I was with, why, etc... I was basically going through a mid-life crisis. This had a great effect on my relationship at the time. A few months went by and I made a decision that would change our lives and our plans forever. I remember telling the man I loved that I needed to find myself. So, we broke up. Then I started my journey in finding myself. I didn't know what that meant at the time. I probably don't even know now. However, I wanted to know who and what I am. Sounds confusing and weird. But I wanted to live life by myself... ; be happy by myself. That didn't last long since I ended up in another relationship. But before that, I was so consumed in my relationship that I had become dependent on my partner for my happiness. I sort of realized why I wanted to find myself, it was because I was bored. I was at a point where life was not fulfilling. So, I was lost and now I am slowly discovering pieces of myself. I've done some crazy things just so that I can find myself. Moving out of state was the craziest thing I've done. The next would probably be living with my bf. Things progressed so fast that even I was a bit hesitant. Despite everything that has happened for better or worse I felt that I have learned a lot. I have no regrets." One thing that got me through this was trust. I trusted that things happen for a reason in life, that I am where I am suppose to be, and that I would end up where I am meant to be." (quoted) From my experience, I think you should get lost and discover yourself. You only live one life so drop the chains that binds you and let loose. Do all the things you want to do and experience life. It's ok to fail and make mistakes it's all apart of discovering yourself. You should start your journey alone. It can take months or even a year until you find the answers you're looking for. If you have gasp the idea of finding yourself, you can continue your journey with your partner.
