While I never want to relive some of my experiences from the past 9 years of living in NYC, I don’t regret how things turned out. It was easy at times to fall into a victim mindset, asking “Why me?” and comparing myself to others, but I’ve come to understand the deeper lessons in those moments 🙏 I do struggle with anxiety and trusting the good in my life, after feeling like the rug was constantly being pulled out from under me, and that’s been a work in progress. I haven’t crafted an easy life for myself, but settling was never an option, whether in an unfulfilling job, a one-sided relationship, or a flaky friendship, especially when I knew deep down that I was meant for so much more. Instead, I’ve always been drawn to the people, opportunities, and paths that felt meaningful for reasons I couldn’t fully explain ✨ So I’ll keep fighting for myself and the life I want. And I hope you do too, because you deserve it 💛💛💛 . . . . . #nyclife #nycliving #lifeinnyc #nyc #motivationforlife #nyclifestyle #motivationiskey
