Today I woke up excited about the future. I haven’t had this feeling in years. Yesterday I got to talk to my friend @h_cato about my studies in being a #deathdoula & while we were talking about our joys & sorrows, I realized how everything in my life has lead me to this very moment. She told me, “Ruby, you’re bridging a gap.” I don’t think Holly knows how much that means to me, but it made me cry happy tears! That’s a first in awhile lol. *My friends, we’re in some batshit crazy times that are kinda of depressing af...but dreams are still coming true?! Yes, my new career path might not be the most exciting for some people, but it brings ME joy to know that someone in their darkest hour is not alone & that they are being loved. I am determined in this next decade of my life (cuz I’m turning 30 next month, which is actually wild) to get what I’ve always dreamed of having & to make them into realities. We deserve the things we dream of. It’s just freakin time! The first one I’m getting is my dream job: being an End of Life Doula. • #honestwords #endoflifedoula #inelda • Corvallis, OR • Spring 2020 (at Corvallis, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7kyhdgxHS/?igshid=z83wxdv5s6q8
