It’s time to say goodbye to 2022, and hello to 2023. 🌲
I’ve never publicly shared how depressed I was in the beginning of 2022. I felt so lost, burnt out, stuck in the rat race, and unhappy. Certain people knew I was unhappy, but no one knew the severity.
There weren’t enough shots 🥃 I could take to help numb what I was feeling. Things started to get really scary when the idea of leaving this life was growing in my mind. The lie that my son would be better off without me was so loud and clear I believed it to be true.
No one knew but my husband, and we were both lost in what to do. It wasn’t until one night where I realized enough was enough. It was a battle within myself to remember God had a purpose for me.
Then end of March I found out I was pregnant 🤰🏻. I was so happy and felt so blessed, my angel that reminded me to fight even harder.
Fast forward to now, and I’m due to give birth in 2 weeks. We’ve moved to beautiful Washington and I’ve never been so happy in my life. I let go of everything that didn’t serve me and I stepped away from everyone for a moment so that I could listen to my own heart and soul.
I finally understood what it meant to live in the present moment.
Although it was extremely painful in the beginning of the year, right now I feel so free. 🕊️
My biggest lessons this year is that family is everything. I don’t know where I’d be without my husband and I love being a mother.
Also, it’s ok to slow down. I’m no longer attached to hustling and grinding, tracking productivity, or trying to be a boss babe.
Instead, I’ve found so much joy and peace staying at home with my son. Homemaking, slow-paced living aligns with me so much more in this moment of my life.
And finally, without God, nothing matters. ❤️
Thank you for reading, and wishing you a wonderful 2023. 🙏
