Dream Big: #1 Achieved

Hello all!  Although I am in no way “Tumblr famous” like some people I know, I would definitely like to say I appreciate all of my followers who have been faithful over the years.

This past year has been such a struggle. I decided that I was going to move to Colorado and follow my dreams and pursue my goals; however, I had not realized what a difficult task that would be without anyone’s help. The past 10 months have been the biggest life change I have ever experienced. My parents (my dad adopted me when I was 8 years old) got a divorce and filed for bankruptcy, my parents filed for bankruptcy, Austin and I started dating after a year of long-distance talking, I became one of the top servers in my restaurant based on tip percentages, I moved out, and eventually on April 19th 2013, I moved to beautiful Belmar in Lakewood, Colorado. I no longer have any need for a car- I’ve never had one really so this is awesome. I live with Big and his auntie, walk everywhere, work out every day, snowboard a couple times a week, and have nearly elliminated junk food from my diet as well as cook every meal. 

 Today, after all of my struggles, I am happy and I am healthy.  I hope all of you can use this as some sort of inspiration- even the sweet young people that happen to scan across this. Never give up. Be faithful. And work hard- remember that your life is all about the effort you put into it. Know that you are loved and that you are strong. Know that your brain is only operating at about 5% when you are awake; kick it into gear! NEVER give up on any of your goals, and set your standards high.

Over and out

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss.You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.
