“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.” —Walt Disney
Dear Reader,
The last year has been tough. The distractions that come with living have taken me for a ride.
It has been a battle with many more downs than ups, and my mind has been cluttered with stress, worry, anxiety, a lack of motivation, a loss of feeling useful, and nothing but hopelessness.
I am alive, but I haven’t been living. I have pigeonholed myself into this bundle of feeling lost.
There has been no drive, no desire to do anything but wallow,
While I have been here, I haven’t been present, or wanting.
And that needs to change. So, I write with the intention that this is my new beginning.
I want to achieve my goals, my dreams and be “that girl”.
And my first commitment is to me, dear reader, to keeping me accountable, to document my journey and to start here.
I will not forget me.
Yours always,
Cathartic Ella.
