2018 was a complex year for me. So many drastic highs and lows. Most of those lows were linked to a toxic person who I allowed to create toxic situations for me. I still struggle with the side effects from that.

But im in a much healthier place now. I’m slowing erasing those lows from my soul and focusing on the highs. The career highs, the healthy relationships highs, my general well being highs.

Looking in the mirror today I felt that rush of utter and complete love for myself. I’m so proud of where I am mentally/emotionally/physically. There was a point where I never thought I’d feel this way. Or look this way.

So good riddance 2018...you were kind of a bitch lol, but a necessary reminder of overcoming hardships.

Cheers to 2019. May it be good to all of us ❤️

What a feeling it is to realize that loving yourself is far more important than relying on someone to do it for you.

This realization is ongoing and evolving. That’s important to know.

Thank you to all those here for the love and support. It means a lot ❤️

Ever find yourself in a place where majority of your life is great, but there’s one small shitty factor trying to deconstruct everything?

I’m struggling with that shitty thing right now. And really...it’s a matter of me overcoming my own insecurities and thoughts.

Trying really hard to not lose sight of all the good I’m accomplishing in this life. I deserve so much. We all do.

And I fall

Into your breathing

I inhale all you speak

When I'm sleeping

In my rise I'll be giving

All the things that I hide

When I'm feeling you

Thunder thighs for days.

I never understood those people who claimed that working out was a form of therapy for them. That it relieves them of stress and pain.

I think I was just a bit envious and incredibly lazy.

I’ve slowly become one of those people. Working out has become a release for me. I feel good while I’m doing it..and after. I sweat away my demons from the day, and feel revived and a bit more centered.

And right now, in my life, it’s really been a lifesaver.

The look of a girl stuck inside working, wishing she was outside soaking up the last of summer...

I hate the way you tease me

I am not lonely, I'm alright

But you sure don't make it easy

To show my hand and say, "goodnight"

I never let my guard down

So why did I let it slide for you?

I know it so wrong, but somehow

There's nothin' I could say, or do

Never been this excited to be jean shopping. I’m loving my body right now..and can’t wait for this fiery weather to end so I can wear them 😊

[hellomydarllling]

Everything seems to be Falling apart In some technicolor And oh, I saw you put your soul In the cast Of what used to be our love

Men’s boxer briefs are seriously so comfy. Definitely my go to loungewear 👍🏻 The mini sunburn on my stomach though...not so great 👎🏻

[hellomydarllling]

Haven’t felt this confident in a swimsuit in a LONG time. Enjoying any chance I get to cruise to the ocean or lay by the pool ☺️

This is what happens when a colleague asks for your assistance during a light test. Ya...I’m a huge nerd 😅

Pre work out 💪🏻
