Not who I Was.. and will never be the Same.

2025/5/13 Edited to

... Read moreIn a world full of challenges, we often find ourselves undergoing profound transformations that redefine our identities. The journey of self-discovery can be marked by moments of vulnerability, resilience, and empowerment. Many individuals, like the author, experience pivotal transitions that initiate a new chapter in life. Notably, music often serves as a powerful companion during these times. Artists like Zach Bryan, known for deeply reflective lyrics, resonate with listeners on similar journeys of healing and self-acceptance. The themes in his songs cover struggles and the importance of embracing change, a sentiment echoed in many people's personal narratives. Through introspection, individuals can uncover their true selves and embrace the person they've become after hardships. It's crucial to highlight that while we may not be who we once were, the evolution of our identities contributes to our strength and understanding of the world around us. It's about celebrating growth and fostering a sense of belonging and authenticity. Remember, change is not just an end but a beautiful beginning. Whether through relationships, art, or self-reflection, embracing our narratives helps us connect with others who have faced similar paths. As we share our stories, let us inspire one another to continue moving forward and acknowledge that each stage of our journey is an essential part of who we are.

If you step foot into my house, you will NEVER find me using these items. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the same study as me, but there was a study done about microplastics in the brain. The amount of microplastics in the average adults brain is INSANE. Definitely look into it if you haven’t seen it…

hot take: it was the best decision I made
there’s lots of opinions when it comes to using e collars. when I first got my puppy I never expected to and relied solely on positive reinforcement. this is still the number one training method I will recommend! however not all dogs are built the same. if you have a dog with a happy, confident
