My life a couple of months ago versus now is completely different. In fact, it has done a complete 180 as I’ve come to a new understanding of time and my well-being. Taking the time to slow down has helped me tremendously. In this short period, I’ve learned so much about myself and gained clarity I never knew I needed.

I will admit, this time of reflection has been costly, but I know I will repay myself in the future. Traveling has changed my life in ways I never expected, and it’s something I will never take for granted. I never imagined my current life would be so heavily influenced by the beauty of my past travels. However, sometimes you don’t realize the true impact of an experience until long after it happens. That is one of the many lessons I’ve learned during this journey.

As I type this, I hold immense gratitude. I have so much to be thankful for. This is just a reminder to anyone reading that if I can go from waiting tables four months ago to feeling as healthy and happy as I do now, then so can you. Change happens when you take action, and the best time to start is now.
