Glow-Getter: A driven busy gal who strives to achieve her goals in life while attaining a beautiful glow both inside and out.
I saw this and it grasped my attention like a child’s hand on candy in a candy dish. I have always felt driven; I may not know where the hell I am going, but I’ve always felt the drive and regardless of the obstacles during the journey, I will get there. I feel like I have this constant burning passion that’s hard to fulfill so I’m all over the place. I want to be a killer mom, but i also want to be madly in love and see the world. How am I going to manage all of these things? I never learned to juggle.
I think it’s a decision, right? Things aren’t just going to happen and fall in your lap. It takes effort and acting on your desires. If you don’t like your job, you have to actively look for a new one. If you love someone and want to be with them, you have to put in the work and do your part to see that happens. If you want your child potty-trained - they’re not going to do it themselves; you have to go through some shit to get there (literally). I grew up in a rural area with parents who made selfish decisions to put their wants before mine and my brother’s needs. Parents who were in and out of jail and in the paper for various offenses. Parents who never really held down a job and relied on public aid. By “statistics” I should have followed suit, but I knew I didn’t want a life like that. So, I graduated high school and got accepted into college... but then I dropped out of college. So, I knew I would always need to maintain a job and strive for bigger things. I reached that place; I had a great job, soon I was pregnant, buying a house, and getting married. Life was solid. I’ve made mistakes along the way. I’ve changed jobs, questioned my marriage, and had another baby. LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER. But, I feel like it’s been a slow roller coaster.
Now, we have all stepped into a whole new decade. 2020, baby! I feel really good about this year. I don’t exactly know what happened, but something clicked in my mind that this year is going to bring big changes, but not without my effort. I am counting on me for 2020. I want to focus more on my health and my weight. I don’t want to be skinny, not even close, but I want to make some changes. I want to be healthy and strong, but most importantly - happy. This is a decision that I have felt so ready for, even excited. I don’t want to let myself down and I want to set an example for my kids. Aside from my weight; I want to focus on my mental health and feed my soul. I want to start seeing and doing. Stop making excuses. You live but only once and you should make it count.
There are things I want in life, that I feel in my bones, but I’m not sure if I will ever attain them. But, I know me and I will never stop trying.
Happy New Year! 🖤
