This month’s notes:

Lows

• More emotional rollercoasters. I discovered a lot about myself this month, like how much value I put in the opinions of others, how hard I try to please them and how much it hurts to do so. I'm currently in the process of rewiring this mindset. I want to get to the point where I am consistently aware I am enough. It's been rocky. I've slipped a few times. But that's okay. I don't have to be perfect.

Highs

• This month I discovered a show called Miraculous Ladybug and I have no regrets. I'm obsessed and CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON TWO. If you have Netflix, I highly recommend you check it out. Be careful, you may will get addicted. <3_<3
• I completed my Algebra class, passed and began Biology. At first I was panicking because I'm not exactly "science brained", but I noticed with LOTS of repetition and a tweak in my note taking style, I CAN understand. (Another fear conquered.)
• I went out to lunch with an old BFF and oh my word was it crazy. I drove myself there and discovered how not alone I am in this world. Such a blessing. <3

How was your February, friend?
