When I was 19 years young, I was in search of "who am I?"
I was in the military and felt unfilled. I had joined to find purpose and meaning in my life. I felt emptier and emptier each day, week, month, and year that passed. I felt more stressed than realized. It was not until seven years in my active duty service that I had what I call my "spiritual awakening" or psychosis. I served honorably for a total of seven years, seven months, seven days (Coincidence? I think not! lol). I feel it was meant to happen in hindsight.
It has taken time to accept that my military career is now over and a new beginning has commenced. My day job and passion are to help others through the field of social work and mental health. My side hustle and dream are to travel and own my own business reflecting my travels and experiences.
I want to share them with you! And I want to inspire you too! Please understand that in spite of everything that has happened to you, good and bad, it serves a purpose for good. It has brought you to this point in time and triggered a change in your thought.
That change in thought is loving oneself for all that
one is and to serve something greater than "I am". By learning to love oneself and serving others, one feels happy and whole. I encourage you to learn to accept yourself for all that you beautifly are. After healing from your traumas and continuing to master your flaws, bring others up through a smile or encouraging words. You never know how much another may need to turn a frown upside down! :)
