A Happy Nomadversary is in order for me, π as I celebrate my first year of living a freedom based lifestyle!!!πβοΈπππΎπ₯ One year ago today I walked out of my loft having nothing to lose and everything to gain.β¨ I wasnβt certain about the outcome, I just knew that what Iβd been doing wasnβt working for me. π€·π½ββοΈ I couldnβt have told you that Iβd be in Barcelona a year later, truly living the dream. I honestly wasnβt sure. I just knew that I had to do something that Iβd never done to gain something that Iβd never had. ππΎπ« This year has been SURREAL! You see, Iβm far from a trust fund baby. In fact, Iβve been left for dead, more than once by the very people that should have loved me. Iβve never had a blueprint for life, let alone success. Never had cheerleaders or people that would sacrifice much of anything for me. Never had nurturing or a soft place to land should I fall. All Iβve ever had is my instinct, and a desire to be and do more than destiny said I would. Things that so many took for granted I had to and still have to fight for daily.ππ½ Let me tell you something. Itβs one thing not to have support, but itβs a whole other thing when you have to fight for the right to simply be yourself in the midst of it all. ππΎ Iβve always despised the fact that people view me and label me as βstrongβ. My strength is nothing that I worked to gain. My strength is a result of it being a necessity for me to survive and stay in my right mind. This year has caused me to accept it wholeheartedly. My strength was finally used for something other than simply surviving. Thereβs no way I could have done this had I been weak. The abandonment, rejection, hate, jealousy, lies, abuse, slander, scapegoating etc. are the very things I stand on. All the way over here in Barcelona, Spain, I STAND. Strong, fulfilled,humbled, grateful and certain that all things have always worked together for my good. Itβs my Nomadversary yaβll!!!!! πΎππSomebody pinch me! π #iveonlyscratchedthesurface (at Nova Icaria beach)
