I Was Fortunate Enough To Not Be Financially Impacted By The Pandemic. I Was Employed Throughout The Entire Pandemic—That's A Blessing, But In Turn I Learned So Much. 2020 Was A Year Of Revelation For Me. I Struggled With Being Present; Emotionally, Physically, & Spiritually. I Spent So Much Time Occupying My Time Because I “Thrived” On Being Busy. I Worked Two Jobs, Attended School, Took Guitar Lessons, & Boxed. With Everything Shutting Down, The Pandemic Forced Me To Slow Down & Be Present. I Started Taking The Time To Focus On My Spirituality & Really Getting In Tune With My Higher Self & My Creator. You Know, Getting My Chakras All Opened.
"I Met My Best Friend For Life In The Midst Of The Pandemic!! That Was Definitely The Highlight Of That Entire Year".
I Spent Time Getting In Tune With Myself & Discovering What I Will & Will Not Tolerate From Myself & From Others. As A Psychology Enthusiast, I Learned To Allow Myself To Feel & To Get To The Root Of Why I’m Feeling What I Feel. I Really Got Into Dream Analysis & Being Incredibly Intentional About My Feelings & My Actions—Making My Boundaries KNOWN. I Met My Best Friend For Life In The Midst Of The Pandemic!! That Was Definitely The Highlight Of That Entire Year.
Post Pandemic I’m Continuing Along The Path Of Being My Best Self!! Spiritually Growing & Being A Disciple Of The Lords Will, Creatively Growing & Basking In My Truth & Being Unapologetically ME. & Becoming A Skinny Legend!! The Girl That Hated The Outdoors Has Become An Active Hiker & I’ve Just Been On This Incredible Fitness Journey.
I'm Learning To Let People, Well A Person In & Working On Not Being So Guarded. Personally, This Pandemic Had Its Benefits For Me, But It Should Be Noted That Our Government Did A Piss Poor Job At Managing, Supporting, & Protecting The Needs Of It’s Citizens. I Encourage American Citizens To Reclaim Their Power & Fight For Their Constitutional Rights! Fight For Inclusion, For Equality! One Can’t Be Free If We’re All Not Free; This Fight Is An Intersectional Matter.
