Hi everyone!
I’ve been in such a spiral since January started. 2017 truly
feels like an uphill battle where all the victories are short-lived. It really
feels like no matter what I do, the paw-paw keeps hitting the fan and at this
point it’s kind of pointless to clean up the mess. Currently I’m on leave for
about 8 days that I desperately needed and I’ve spent about 5 of those days
just going through the motions and properly addressing my feelings.
I think I’m ready to go back to work. I actually went awol
because our firm is just so unfair in terms of how they treat us and there’s
basically nothing you can do about it. So when I feel overwhelmed I just
disappear and go offline until I feel better.
I’ve been looking at how I’ve just completely gone off the
radar on my blog and channel. Youtube, especially because I’ve been trying to
get a better lens since last year and I haven’t been in a good space to buy it.
I’ve also been having extremes – emotionally. Which affected my writing and
filming because I just felt bad about myself and my life in general. On some
days when the sun would shine again, I would just soak that in by taking a walk
or going out with a friend I’ve neglected.
If you know me, you’d know that I don’t believe in mood
swings. Mostly because I wasn’t allowed to have any. When I started puberty my
mom basically told me that I wasn’t allowed to be sour just because I was going
through a natural thing. My mom is pretty controlling so if you know her, this
would sound perfectly normal, LOL! So during this time of intense stress it was
just better for me to retreat rather than be unhappy in public.
I’ve been thinking about how to make my blog mainstream and
‘commerciable’. I like talking about different things and I did not want to
make it one thing so I made my channel more lifestyle with my name on it but I
realized during this time that I like being under an alias or a brand that will
represent me so changing all the banners is truly daunting but needs to be done
in order to ‘continue from here’. I no longer want to go under ‘ClosetFreedom’
because it’s one of those things where looking back was good, but now you’re
like ‘what were you thinking?’!
I want something that can represent my soul and my beliefs.
Currently I truly feel kind of damaged and under intense strain so that is
affecting this process. I also want to factor in my love for communication and
helping people to be more understanding and open. It’s probably the only thing
I loved doing this year. I got my results from the first semester yesterday and
it went well with 2 out of the 3 subjects, which made me realize that I need to work
harder and learn to prioritize better.
I’m excited going into the second half of the year even
though it’s already August but I truly can not live my life without hope. I
have to believe that I’m being battered in order to be able to handle something
worse than this, hopefully very far in the future because I could seriously use
a break this year!
Can’t wait to share my thoughts and views with you guys for
the rest of 2017!
Stay blessed!
