Never forget how far you've come

 Sometimes it's hard to really see your progress especially when you're in the thick of it. Life will always throw you a curve ball. I really wanted to grow my blog in 2023 but instead I was thrown into a caretaker role for my father. 

Now, I must admit that I took on the role thinking I would be able to handle it all. My father lives in a bodega in Honduras. It is the saddest thing to know who my grandparents were and how my father had decided to live his life. Nonetheless, I am proud that I was able to put aside so much pain and trauma and fully took on the role of the next of kin for the Serra family.

Taking the role on led to a lot of pain and stress. I finally took the lead to speak with truth and boldly called out the injustice being carried out by my father's sisters. This is still an ongoing legal situation so I can't really say much, except that the truth will be known and justice will be obtained.

In the midst of taking care of my dad, I was led to travel to Honduras quite a bit in 2023. This made my wheels turn because I really want to build a bridge between my worlds and make some money at the same time. But instead I was met with a person I have loved for a very long time.

Here I was in the most delicate situation and out of nowhere God led me to a man I have loved for a long time but never felt adequate for him. Ive been in therapy for 5 years and thought if I don't let him know I will never know.

Well, it all was going well till it wasn't. Getting ready to marry and then it all went down the drain. This experience had led me to take a real good look at my life and what I want and how I want to go about it. It has also led me to see how hard I've worked to get to where I am. Don't let anyone else's insecurities become yours!
