What if it all works out?

It's been a few months since I last had the opportunity to write. A year ago, I would've seen this neglect to There She Goes as a failure. However, I see it now as more of an opportunity to start fresh and grow. When reuniting with my international friends in England after not seeing them for the past four months, they were shocked to hear the complete 180 I had gone through both physically and in my everyday life. It's like a flip switched for me, and everything finally started to make sense and fall into place. 

I think what clicked and what ultimately took years to figure out was that my previous 'what if' mindset, that made me question my choices, had now bloomed into a positive 'what if '- what if it all works out. With that mindset shift, came so much clarity in every aspect of my life. I found comfort in having a smaller support circle around me, spending more time with my Mom, laughing at a new show we wanted to start together, and choosing to romanticize and prioritize wellness while really picturing what I wanted my future to look like for no one else but myself. 

I've always been a 'go getter' with the personality type of someone who finds no shame walking into a room full of new people and introducing myself as if we had years of friendship prior. I've grown to know that someone preaches to go after something because I've learned that sometimes missed opportunities feel worse than rejection. Growing up and evolving for me has meant realizing that there's no 'right way' to do something. Some things that were unpleasant for others could turn out to be life changing for you. It's all about trial and error. With evolution for me also comes the epiphany that to become your best, you need to give yourself grace. Personal success in every aspect of your life, as cheesy as it sounds, truly comes from honest self-love and finding the ability to dial in on your goals without outside influence. 

While staying home on that Saturday night to prep for your Sunday reset may not be the most popular choice with your peers, it may just be one of the pieces to your puzzle that turns your anxieties into the blossoming of new aspirations. The only person who is in control of your life is you, and your potential is endless as long as you believe so yourself. So, use this as a sign to take the risks - go on the date, say yes to something new, say no to something you know deep down you've outgrown, and at the end of the day, think about how lucky you will be if all of your contemplations worked out.

So happy to be back, if you've made it this far, thank you for sticking around and reading. Stay tuned for more There She Goes content coming soon:)

Talk soon,
