just do you

Sometimes an emotion wraps itself around you, radiates inside of you, and explodes out of your soul

That emotion for me is pure happiness. Honestly, I'm so happy right now that I could cry.

Because for the first time in my life I am 100% happy... with myself.
And it feels so damn good.

Some may mistake it as selfishness, but I call it self love. And it grew the day I stopped putting my own dreams aside for everyone else's needs. Instead, I started running head on towards what I want - and I haven't looked back since. 

Creating a blog has always been an aspiration of mine. I have always longed to inspire others through my writing, photography, and life experiences. But I continuously put it aside because I was scared of putting myself, and my words, out there to complete strangers.. to you.

 

So here we are.. and I am so overwhelmed by the love that all of you have sent concerning my posts. Seriously, thank you so so so much. And to think the only thing holding me back this whole time was me. That's it. 

I was holding myself back because I was afraid people wouldn't approve. 
(Silly me)

Autumn has officially arrived and the leaves will soon be changing.

So, why not make some changes to yourself as well?

Start a list of your short and long term goals - no matter how big or small they are - and put that shit everywhere for your eyes to see. Then, make this promise to yourself (and for yourself) to stop letting any doubts hold you back from checking off that list. Because for the most part, these fears are merely illusions that you create.

Let 'em go, it's time to start chasin'
