I’ve set this site up a long while ago (or rather, half-ass reserved it) and grew intimidated as it was unfamiliar to me. I always thought I’d get around to it eventually. Eventually turned into years and me turning 50. When I turned 50, things seemed to change and there was a consciousness shift of just how may years I could possibly have left in my life and realizing how quickly those years would pass, making around to it never coming into fruition.
I don’t want to be at the end of my life thinking about all the things I never did do because I figured I’d have enough time or other things were so much more a priority. I should be a priority to myself, which I often have not been. I’ve always put my family first and figured there would be time later. Family always needs you. Family will always need your support. I realized I had to make room for ME….the things I love, the things I want to do….because your life is supposed to be enjoyed. I don’t want to live with regret or excuses at the end of my life . I want to fully embrace everything I love and wanted to do and at the end of my life say….I tried…..and it was good.
