“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are”
This year has been full of new adventures for me. I’m starting this blog to sit back and learn to enjoy the ride. I hope to encourage others that feel lost in their twenty’s and need a like-minded friend or just some motivation. This is the start, so be patient as I learn.
So frequently I get caught up in chasing the outcome. I forget to take in the beauty of the journey. Sometimes that looks like failing, or having to start over. But, how you deal with failure is sometimes so much more powerful than succeeding.
The key. Start again. Try something new. Find what you’re passionate about. Once you find it, you’ll NEVER “fail” again. It’s all just a part of your story that makes you a stronger you.
Starting can be anxiety inducing for many. I was forced to start again after failing out of nursing school in 2023. Christmas break, freshly failed out of school. Moving out on my new friends and my new found freedom. Dealing with a breakup with my first love. All during the chaos of the holidays. Sitting at the holiday parties having to explain to my family and friends that this wasn’t holiday break for me. This was the unknowing of what was next.
“I failed out of school, and I have no idea what’s next.”
I jumped into a full time job in January while I decided what path was next. I started taking business courses at Community College for their summer program. Changed my major to education in the fall and then to psychology in the Spring. Phew. Are you exhausted yet. I know I was.
I found failing out of nursing school to be one of the best things to have happened to me. I am now on a path I am genuinely passionate about. This semester is my last at CCAC for my associates in psychology. I have lost over 70 pounds and have learned true self love. I am single and thriving.
I have nothing school related scheduled for the spring. I do however have a plan. And I can’t wait to take you along with me.
