I love Twitter, but sometimes 140 characters are just not enough for me to properly share what I’m processing. Because of this, I’ll end up tweeting a bunch of things in a row. I’ve taken to calling these my stream of consciousness tweets. This past Saturday, July 10th, a date that had been very significant to me in the past, went by without me evening realizing what day it was. It took me by surprise at first. And then I starting turning it over in my head, and… stream of consciousness tweets was the result. I want to share these tweets here, because I these words are import to me:
10 years ago today (well, yesterday), I got engaged to the wrong person. I have no regrets; the last 10 years have been an amazing journey.

There have been some really low points and some beautiful, perfect, peaceful points. It’s strange to think about who I was 10 years ago now.

I’m still learning, growing, changing. And it’s kind of my goal to always be learning, changing and growing. As things can always be better.

But from someone who’s been there, in those deep, dark, seemingly hopeless times; it is absolutely the truth that it gets better.

You are loved, you’re valued, you have purpose. And it’s never too late to start over. Nor is it ever too late to ask for help.

Life’s too short to stay in things that don’t work for us; jobs, careers, cities, friendships, relationships, even decisions.

Don’t ever be afraid to end something that isn’t working out for you, that isn’t true to who you are. Don’t be afraid to start over.

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” -T.S. Eliot

Be good to yourself and others. Don’t be a dick. And on that note… Goodnight moon. ❤️
