Time to revisit old habits
I've been busy since this blog was born. Starting a business and getting it off the ground takes a lot of time, and it's a steep learning curve in many ways, including juggling business things and family life.
I've come a long way since the creation of Evaperated, and I'm pretty proud of it so far. That being said, I have a long way to go before I'm satisfied.
However, through this journey I've met some incredible people, and on the opposite side of that, had some confrontations that were unexpected. 99% of the time though, it's the incredible people that I run in to on a daily basis, and for that I am so very thankful.
Running this business has been enriching in so many ways, frustrating and scary in others, daunting and impossible at times, but never ever have I regretted it. It's actually the hard times that push me to be better, to overcome my flaws and push past challenges. Those are the things that make you a stronger person, and I don't think I would have been able to learn the things I have if it were not for starting this journey.
Whenever I've been hard on myself there are always, and I mean always beautiful people there to show me love and kindness, and that never fails to cheer me up and put things in to perspective.
I get to make people happy. I get to send them little parcels of joy and I get to know that somewhere, someone is going to smile, even once, from something I've created.
In a world that is seemingly caught up with negatives and anger, having the ability to cheer someone up, even if for a brief moment, makes me feel like a super hero. Truly.
If my calling is working away in to the wee hours of the night in a little lab, making liquids that save people's lives from smoking cigarettes, and sending out packages of happiness with stickers and fun things... well I'm totally okay with that.
I'm going to be writing in this blog a lot more now that I've managed to sort of find a balance with everything. I hope you enjoy it :)
