How did I end up here?

Which way do I go?

Have you ever come to a point in your life where there is a fork in the road? Well, life is like a road with many exits along the way. You either continue the road you are traveling or you venture off and discover a new road. We, in ourselves know the real answers to our own questions, whether we decide to go with that decision or not. We create our own road in life and settle for the decisions we make.

I most recently (2016-17) went through a toxic stage in my life which involved Domestic Violence. As a result from that I came to a fork in the road where I had to decide to stay or go. Easy said then done right? This by far was one of my hardest points in my life. I was at rock bottom, I had no hope or fight for life left. I was exhausted from the abuse I allowed and I now had no self worth and depression as a result. This affect was created by others and I accepted it hoping it will one day change, slowly losing myself. The moment came when I had enough, it was getting worse everyday. I then left the family home and drove interstate. The first time I left, I was 50% done and 50% not done.

Three months away and I came back to change my situation and to go with the real answers I knew I had to do. I packed my things, bond cleaned a house and left the second time within two weeks of being back. I was then couch surfing with my three daughters for 8-9 weeks. Three days into the new year of 2018, I went to a Womens Shelter for 4 month’s. It was very lonely doing it on my own in hiding. So I decided to commit myself as I had already come so far. The steps were extremely difficult to do, but with each step taken the more freedom I began to feel. Don’t get me wrong as I was hurt from what I had to do. I cried while doing each of these steps and never saw a light at the end of the tunnel. But With each step taken over twelve weeks, I was ready to move on. I then decided to head back interstate to family to continue my healing, away from the environment that was toxic.

Fast forward a year of hard work, self care and continued survival. I began to find out who I was as a person now and with hard work paying off, an opportunity presented itself. I took a leap of faith and I came back home to my home state. A goal I had set in the womens shelter now presented itself.Nervous, I took the opportunity even though I was still lost as to what my future was going to hold.

……… I am now ready to make my life the way I believe and dream it should be xo
