March. April. May. now June.
I started this blog six months ago in hopes to crawl out of my depression and to record the journey of awakening this sleeping giant. And what a journey it has been already. When I take the second to reflect back on where I was six months ago, I am overwhelmed with thankfulness.
March
If one word can summarize the month of March it would be Sisterhood.
I grew painfully close to three girlfriends (Kandice, Bonnie, Margarita), and we made a covenant to love and support each other no matter how ugly the friendship got. There have been many times when we wanted to bounce out when confrontation got too real, but through and through we committed to resolving issues and honoring this promise we made before God. We all went to Seattle towards the end of March and it was the perfect retreat.
April
I got a job! Literally, the day after I came back from Seattle, I started working. The same week I got a job, I won a pair of free VIP tickets to Coachella through an Instagram contest! Blessings upon blessings. I took my sister with me, and I did Coachella entirely sober. Not gonna lie, it was fucking hard, but I am so proud of myself and the whole experience taught me a lot about myself.
May
Adjusting to work. Joined a kickboxing class for 6 weeks. I am NOT a fitness person and I am so NOT about that work-out life. Going to kickboxing has been so challenging on a mental level. It has been scary to take control of the conversation I'm having inside about my body. May was also my sister's and my birthday month! It was a good bday celebration, felt super loved and grateful for my friends.
and now June
A lot of the past has been resurfacing up, painful but I take them in stride with the perspective that they are growing pains. I still think about him a lot, and marvel at the fact that I haven't run across him around town. Its comforting to think that it's all purposeful for my healing process.
Cannot believe that half of the year is already gone. I get anxious thinking about where I will be at the end of the year. I hope this trajectory continues.
