Self Worth
I used to think that I needed to jump on every opportunity, that every chance missed was a door shut and a step backwards. I thought what the universe presented to me was what I needed at the time, until I found myself living in a reality that wasn’t aligned with my true authenticity; in simplistic terms, it didn’t feel good. Your current reality is a reflection of your self worth. Not your actual worth, but the worth you believe yourself to have, because those are two very different things. You may believe you can’t get better than that unfulfilling job with the shitty boss. I bet you justify it every day in your head or to others, or better yet, you blame. What you really deserve is purpose, fulfillment, something that lights your soul on fire. But you don’t believe that, do you? I bet you’re even thinking, well not me, or I’ll never find that, or someday but not today. But here’s the truth: the universe only wants us to grow into our full authentic versions of self, and we are conditioned and taught off that path. We have learned to SURVIVE instead of THRIVE. The people, the places, the things, in your life are all manifestations of what you have attracted, accepted, and most of the time settled for.

How Dying Saved My Life
Peter Pan, a boy who never grew up and never wanted to grow up, said once that dying would be a big adventure. Who knew that at the age of 24, he would be right. It’s not something we think about everyday—unless you’re me and think about it more often than not. What would happen if I died? Would anyone be sad? Would anyone attend my funeral? Would people who pretended to like me regret being rude? It’s everyday thoughts like these that have me thinking about the what if’s. I know we all have them, but I remember one particular moment away from these thoughts that saved my life.

How Bullet Journaling Helped Me
A few weeks ago, I started bullet journaling. I first stumbled across the idea in one of my Facebook groups. It really intrigued me, but I didn't have the inclination to start journaling. After a rough patch, I decided to give it a try. I looked at various pictures of examples of bullet journals online and I decided to try a modified version. A true bullet journal can be very detailed and I didn't think I could commit to that on a daily basis. I saw some pictures of really cool ones with stencils and lots of colors. People also wrote goals for each month and inspirational quotes for each day. I also saw ones that looked like a day planner with special events written down.
