stretching, growing, and moving on.

2018 was......  well it was certainly something else.

but honestly, as bad as it was, i learned a lot.  i learned who i can count on, who will let me lean on them when i need to, that people understand when you just...  can't pick up the pieces anymore.

i learned that transformation is a messy and painful process, that looks NOTHING like it does in the movies or online.  it's gross.  but needed. 

but most of all, i learned the direction i need my life to go.  and i learned that it's going to be a long process to get there.  and im ok with that.  i really am.  just because one plan fell apart doesn't mean that they all will. 

and i do have a plan.  i do.  it's one of those long-term-going-to-take-ten-years-or-more plans.  but the ground work is being laid now.  im a libra, EVERYTHING has to get planned out.  it's just how im wired. 

so i'll be blogging here when new pieces get finished.   or when ive got a showing.  or when im frustrated.  or when i see really cute cat pictures or something.  but im trying to make my "social media presence" start now.
