New Found Land
I’m very happy to be posting up in Orlando for a while. I’ve been between LA and Miami for the past 7 years and am finally ready to get off the fast paced train and let my life take a different route. I never thought I was running from anything, more or less I’ve been running myself into the ground trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted in life. Little did I know, if I would just slow down for one second all the answers I was looking for, I already possessed. This has taken me a good 8 years to figure out. It’s like I intellectually knew it, but just recently felt it. For the past couple years I’ve taken all the steps I knew (even if I didn’t understand them at the time) to get to this point. I’m finally here and it is only the beginning!
Everything has always been very extreme with me, things are either this way or that way. Your either with me or your not. Shhheesh…exhausting! There has never been a middle. This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life. I think Orlando is going to be a good place to really help with that, because I see Orlando like a middle place. It’s a not a big city but its also not a small town in Kentucky, it’s just…well…in the middle! After talking to a friend, I was able to see all these beautiful life changing opportunities I have at my finger tips by sticking around for a little bit. I can finally focus on my music, my yoga practice, my spiritual development and most importantly my health without all the distractions and chaos I always seem to throw myself into. I feel like this couldn’t be a better time in my life. I feel so ready! Before I was dabbling in all different kinds of things and different careers, everyday it was something new. It was fun trying different things out and I think it’s vital to help understand what you want from life…but it’s just like when your painting and you mix all the colors, it starts to look like, well… poop brown….yaaa. That was my life there for a bit. Poop brown. Not the most flattering color. Haha. I don’t know if it’s my age or yoga or change of diet or all of the above. But I have recently discovered the colors I like and am very happy using just those colors. Mixed together they make a beautiful green. You don’t have to be great at everything. This is something I learned the hard way. Find whatever it is you love and want to be great at and put every bit of focus into it. Trust yourself. You know yourself better than anyone. And in the meantime have fun with everything else, it makes life a lot more enjoyable.
So thankful for this beautiful life.
I love reading these. I’m vicariously living through your peace haha i’m working on my own too though and it’s just like everything else in life… full of its ups and downs. so happy to hear that you’re finally ready to “stand still” for a little bit though. you deserve and above all else i think you need it.
it’s always been so funny to me how no matter where we are or what we’re doing in life we always manage to somehow end up on the same page in our lives. i guess that’s what’s kept us best friends all these years!
i love you girl! can’t wait to see you in august <3
I love you!!!
