I stopped poisoning my body. Alcohol is the worse thing I could do to myself. I never knew when to stop. Until, boom. I’d black out.

I look back at the girl I was and I hate that she felt like she had to drink to fit in. I want to hug her. But that’s the same girl that chose to end the generational curse.

The thing is, I never wanted to do it when I started drinking around sixteen but peers or family would pressure me into it. It’s still my own fault because I am my own person but I wanted to be liked.

I’m almost embarrassed for ever doing that to myself. You become a certain age and realize you are your own brand. Your name carries meaning.

Then I found fitness, a space that I absolutely love being in. A space that I can build this character into exactly what I want her to be.

I thank 25 year old me for getting me to grow into the woman I am today. A woman that doesn’t care about fitting in. A confrontational woman that you better not disrespect. A woman that takes up space but respects others, accordingly. A woman that uses her voice for others and stops anything wrong going on in front of her.

I like who I am and I can’t wait to see how much more I grow.
