Moving into Phase 1

To say I have been incredibly uninspired to write this month would be an understatement. Usually, my brain is a mile a minute, and my schedule is pretty packed, as I mentioned in my blog post, ” A “new normal,” that is what I thrive on. Well, I think I can section off in my mind the weeks of quarantine, and the last few have been pretty all over the place. While I know my days are filled with far less activity, I feel pretty drained. 

When I started La Vida bajo el Sol, I wanted a space where I could be honest and open. Share my fashion and beauty finds without boring my best friends to death ( they know who they are lol) with voice notes but sharing with whoever was interested to know. There’s nothing that brightens my day more than when someone reaches out to me and says they love the content I have been creating or even just read my latest post. Because while any blogger can check how many people click and read through. You never really know who they are. And I knew as it started to grow, I would express more real feelings or thoughts I had in hopes that if someone were going through a similar situation, it would give them a bit of reassurance. 

So, if you are anything like me and haven’t felt 100% yourself hang in there. None of this situation was easy on anyone, and everyone in the world was affected in some way, shape, or form. I think the biggest lesson I am learning is how to 100% be comfortable being alone and not take that as a sign that there is no one there for me. The mind is such a powerful thing, but the greatest lesson I have learned post-college is how valuable your mental health is. Keeping up with yourself and learning when you might need a break is vital. Your mind is just as important as your body and soul are, so when one seems to be consistently down, it can bleed over into other areas and even affect your loved ones. Hoping that summertime brings a lot of rest and relaxation because I think everyone could use some real TLC.
