This Summer

This summer has honestly been a journey for me. I had a “friend” break up with my 2 best friends and decided to cut off the rest of the toxic people in my life. I made it my goal to focusing on me. After time and time again, people show me how selfish they are. That they can take and ask but never return those actions. So why not start being selfish myself. I’m not saying I intended to become a Regina George self-observed bitch, BUT to start putting myself first. Start thinking and making decisions based off what’s in best interest for ME instead of what my friends want or what they’d like. Ever since I started treating myself like the main character, things have been turning around for me. I applied to a bunch of jobs and got the best paying one. Started my summer classes and have been getting good grades all summer. I signed the lease to my first apartment after not knowing what I was gonna do since I obviously wasn’t living with my best friend anymore. I started to applying to jobs around my school and started getting call backs a week later. Whenever I go backwards, I spiral and end up back at square one. I didn’t do that this time. Rather than going 5 steps back I went 8 steps forward. I picked myself up and although I’m still healing, and learning, I am beyond proud of the growth I’ve had this summer. I feel ready for my junior year and a fresh start this semester. Just a little life update <3
