The Girl Next Door

Fresh start Mondays! New week, new projects to tackle. As bloggers, whether it’s informative or motivational, we are constantly pouring out content weekly sharing our journey, hoping our readers will not only find the information useful but inspiring as well. 

Personally, “sharing the journey” was always a bit difficult; the ambiguity that followed resolving challenges was a deep struggle, yearly. Along with age comes learning different ways to cope: “ Out of sight, out of mind.” “ Just deal with it.” However, the circumstances were not that “easy breezy “. My fear of being complacent was crippling. Settling was not an option for me. 

Positively or negatively, I’ve watched jobs influence family and friends; impacting their behavior and habits. Professionally and personally, I’ve suffered many hardships and loss along the years. I’ve experienced my “quarter life crisis” a.k.a one of my most life changing experiences. The decision to either move forward with my medical career or jump into my love for fashion full time. Depression crept in the picture full force. I had to make a change. 2015 was the year that I decided to release the pressure of becoming an overachiever. Purging anything that was no longer good for me and my future was the ultimate goal. 

The fear of my fashion career being reminiscent of my medical career was a dead end.  Regarding my purpose and passion, throughout my journey, I learned that if “I do not seek, I shall not find.” Nevertheless, my creative babies! Keep pushing!  The typical 9-5 isn’t for everyone. Be your own boss! Fight! Those tears you shed at night will be just the water that’s flows over.
