Still living. Still learning. Still going with the flow of it all!

5/12 Edited to

... Read moreExperiencing rock bottom often feels like everything is falling apart, but it can also be a powerful turning point in personal growth. From my own journey, I’ve learned that the toughest moments in life can teach lessons that mountain tops never will. When everything seems lost, it forces reflection, resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself. The phrase "What was meant to break me down, ended up teaching me" resonates deeply with me. Pain and hardship are transformative forces that, while difficult, can build strength and new perspectives. Some people are lost in the fire, overwhelmed by adversity, but others are rebuilt from it, emerging stronger and more self-aware. In my experience, gratitude helps in this process. Thanking what life—or faith—brings, even when it’s hard, creates space for healing and growth. The flow of life, with its ups and downs, becomes a teacher if we remain open and willing to learn. Personally, continuing to live, learn, and simply go with the flow has helped me navigate through dark times and appreciate beauty that comes from pain. Remember, rock bottom is not the end but a foundation for a new beginning. Embrace the lessons, lean into the process, and know that every challenge carries within it the seeds of strength and wisdom.

Living Off Grid
It has been 339 days living off the grid and still working in corporate America. I don’t think I would ever go back to living on the grid. I work off only sun power and have minimized my carbon footprint by so much! 339 days of living in a dry cabin and saving 81,000 liters of water so far.

I still live in my childhood home
I’ve lived in the same house my whole life. Soon, I’ll be 25 and I currently rent the house from my parents. They moved out of state in 2019 and I chose to stay in my hometown, despite knowing I would be truly living on my own from there on out which was a terrifying yet exciting notion at the time

Living Alone 🤍
Moving out at 20 was a significant milestone in my journey to independence. I remember the mix of excitement and nerves as I left the comfort of my childhood home and stepped into the unknown. At that time, my sense of style was still developing, and I focused more on functionality than aesthetics.
