I proved that I had it in me to become a better version of myself. I ended the year 15 pounds lighter than I started it. I’m proud of myself for that, but I know I can do more.

Since November I’ve been training for a half-marathon coming up in April. I’ve taken a holiday hiatus, but once I’m back at school, I’ll get back on the horse. Next milestone is 7 Miles! I’m also making this year a commitment to nourishment—of the body, mind, and soul. Better food. More time to think. More stress-relief. More time spent with friends.

As I move into the next chapter of my life with graduation coming, real life beginning, I’m making myself a priority. If I stick to my guns…I think I’m going to truly love the me I’ll see a year from now.

I would very much so like to feel like I am happy, but around every corner there is doubt. And there shouldn’t be. Everything I could ever need is right in front of me, but I can’t help feeling like it’s somehow all wrong. It’s tearing me up.

Really need to get away from my life right now. Nothing feels right. I just want to go where I can be by myself, enjoy the outdoors, and fill my lungs with some cool air.

I honestly don’t know when I’ll ever feel like I’m enough…even for myself

I have every reason in the world to be full of happiness but I still find myself feeling empty all too often
