Just finished reading your story and I loved it! I could relate to many things that you've written. As a curator on Steemit, Im often under an overload of information and it becomes hard to digest it all. But, your blog was one of those instances when I was unable to stop reading until I finished it! You are beautiful and I like that you have an optimistic outlook towards things and are willing to challenge yourself to grow. That's not a quality I see in many as most simply take the easier path, often that leaves them right where they started! I look forward to reading more of all that you have to share!

I want success and financial security, but instead of breaking myself for a company in exchange for a steady paycheck, I am riding the highs and lows of being a business owner (which believe me right now, feels like a fucking valley). I want stability, but instead of finding it in safe, calculated ways, I am doing it by putting myself first and understanding that without my head in the right place, absolutely NOTHING works. If you're having a panic attack every day because of a relationship that's killing you, or you're coming into work 15 minutes late all the time because you hate it and you don't care, or you're abusing your body with food/drugs/hookups/whatever because you hate yourself or want an escape from reality or feelings, you are not in control of your world. The world controls you.

Much Respect!
