I was just sitting here being overwhelmed by my insecurities. I was telling myself damn you’ve been at the gym for so long(a year) and your not like x y and z. First few months at the gym, was for me to learn the equipment and get over my insecurities of working out with people around me. Second half was working on my technique and overcoming the fear of lifting heavy. Now I’m here telling myself your fat as f, your shit blah blah. But I came a long way.
Let’s keep going. Baby steps. Fuck what other people say or think. Well what I think cause my biggest enemy is myself.
I’m 2014 I miserably failed out of college after 3 years of trying, but it was just so tough and had a really poor gpa. So i moved back home and began to work at a daycare legume I figured out the rest of my life. I couldn’t even hear people talk about college without it giving me an anxiety attack. So fast forward a year and a half, March 2016. I am miserable at my daycare job and decided fuck it, I’m gonna try to go back to school but I’m going to do it my way. I applied to an accredited online college and got my fafsa done, by May 1 I had started classes again. Y’all, I have 3 classes left to finish and I student teach next semester, then I graduate with my bachelors degree in elementary education! I shared all of this because honestly, baby steps is what got me to where I am. So if anyone reads this and you are having a tough time or you think your baby steps aren’t getting you anywhere, trust me, in 3 years you’ll look back and be thankful for the baby steps that got you to where you are.
