The Long Way Through

      So, as the title states, we're establishing the idea of focusing on "the space between where i am and where I'm going." However that applies to your life, lets ask ourselves a question, and maybe you can relate to where I am! Q: "What if the space between destinations isn't a problem to solve?"     To elaborate on this, I have started a wellness campaign called the " Rest Stops Campaign ," which perfectly fits in with this idea. That "in between" space, isn't always a problem to solve. If you compared life to following a GPS to a new destination. If you were on a road trip, you take rest stops, which are like the in between points of life. It's where you pause, reflect, establish what you need to go forward, maybe take time to rest! Go learn more about it on the web page!     I find myself currently at an in between space in life. A space where, aspects of my life are frustrating to a point that I want an easy way out of...

      So, here we are, asking ourselves to not skip ahead, rush through life.

And let's be honest, patience is something many struggle with. Without patience,...

     Life is interesting, at some point you realize that speeding through life, isn't the same as progressing through life! I realized that over the last five to six years, through various life experiences. Twenty twenty was part of that, the covid lockdown, I had just turned nineteen and bought myself a bucket list car. Being on the other side of things now, about to be twenty five, I knew that I wasn't progressing through life the way I needed to, just speed running to the point where life was "better." The thing is, I had no established idea of what "better" was for me, or how I'd get there, I had no direction in life!      Rushing through life, caused me to continually feel mentally at unrest, never was too stable. I never gave myself full attention to find resolution. It absolutely drained me creatively, and at twenty two, having lost a close family member, it all built up into lack of physically being there for myself.      In the end, ...
