Begin Again

(Written 2/14/2022)

Let me get this out the way! Yes we all have been living through a collective trauma called the pandemic, yes it impacted me in numerous ways and yes I am still dealing with the anxiety of every moment the pandemic has altered. That said I have realized I have to begin again. As Many of you know I started Over the Chill in like 2018 with the goal to talk about love, life, and the pursuit of greatness (lol). My goal was to share all my tricks and tips in the hopes that I would be in a successful relationship, meet my career and life goals ( these have changed), and just be a badass life influencer that guided individuals through their 30's. Well, guess what? I fucking failed! Everything I planned failed! I couldn't keep up with my life let alone try to run and manage a blog telling others how to live. I began before I was ready and oh did my life keep letting me know I wasn't ready. Funny enough, I am so glad I failed! Hear me out..... in this time I learned that failing and failing forward are probably the greatest gifts of enlightenment you can receive. Those few years ago I did not realize I didn't know what I wanted out of life. I didn't know if I was coming or going, living for others or living for myself. I realized I had so much work to do that realistically, I couldn't even guide myself through my thirties. Now before y'all think this is a pity party post it is not. This is my understanding that being imperfect is the best way to be. Being a lover of history the broken things have given us the greatest works of art and the most timeless stories. Yeah, I ramble and go all over the place to tell a story but so what it's interesting (lol). But back to my point. My point is this is me starting over with something that I've always wanted to do! Sure I may walk away from it again in a few days, weeks, months, or years. Sure I may change the course of purpose. But I make the decision to start-stop and guess what...Begin Again! I hope you all will re-engage and join me on my journey!
