I never thought I'd say it, but this blog is all about me. I need to take more time for myself, intimate time where I can type out my thoughts without fear of feelings, judgment or retaliation.
About me -
I'm 26, almost 27. Been almost married for 4 years and love most days of it. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember and I've struggled with losing weight for almost that long. I'm a Christ-follower and spend most of my time trying to love others more than I love myself.
Did you catch that? You see, God calls us to love others as we love ourselves, to treat others as we want to be treated. If I talked to anyone the way I talk to myself, no one would want to listen. If I loved others the way I love myself, there would be a lot more hurt people in my world. It's important to not be "selfish" but when I neglect myself and my personal needs, that's not healthy or Godly either.
When I don't take a small part out of each day to focus on myself, I find myself letting anger, judgement and resentment seep into every aspect of my life. Therefore, the purpose of this blog is pull me away from life - the daily drama of work, friends, church and my side business - so that I can focus on what really matters most in my life: ME.
And I do it... from the bubbles! Most of these posts will be typed out from the tub. Not all, but most.
That's all for now. :)
