Happy 1 year
Wow, heels&horseshoes is officially one year old! It all started with 23&me and here I am sat in a bar in Crete on my 24th birthday, drinking a strawberry milkshake as I type.
What a world away my life is now from what it was a year ago.
I absolutely loved being 23, I was determined to make it my year and that's exactly what I did. I achieved so much in that year that I am so proud of myself for doing. From pushing myself so far outside of my comfort zone i couldn't see it anymore to teaching myself to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life,
Not only have I moved on in dealing with things mentally and emotionally I have managed to dream bigger and exceed better things than I could ever have imagined. Problems that before seemed impossible now feel like mere hurdles.
In my 23&me post I wanted to run 10k which is something I achieved just before moving here to crete. But the big move in itself felt like a far bigger achievement.
I'm so grateful for my friends and family that have been nothing but supportive and know exactly how to encourage and motivate me.
Thinking ahead...
So 24. Well doesn't 24 sounds mature. I think 24 for me is going to be the fill in year between making up for lost time through worry and actually thinking about my future.
I intend to continue my journey of trust and exploration but maybe start putting some money aside for a rainy day. I think my decisions need to start being supported by a small contribution of rationale thinking.
I have no firm goals, I'm in a content place surrounded by some specially selected amazing people. I'm kind of on the fence, not a place I'm used to being, but the view from here looks just fine.
