Hey everyone, how's it going? Can you believe we're already diving into another year? Time seems to be sprinting ahead faster than ever. Reflecting on the past year, it was undoubtedly one of the toughest journeys I've navigated. From exchanging vows at the close of 2020 to facing divorce in early 2021, and then grappling with financial instability as the year drew to a close, it felt like an emotional rollercoaster. But amidst the challenges, I found a glimmer of hope and opportunity.
One door closed, but another opened. I found myself working alongside Jimmy, delving into the world of tile laying and absorbing the nuances of the trade. Initially, it felt like an ordeal, almost as if I were being punished for past misdeeds. However, with time, I shifted my perspective. Instead of viewing it as a setback, I embraced it as a chance to acquire a valuable skill set. Plus, the silver lining? Spending each day alongside Jimmy, soaking in knowledge and experience. Sure, some days felt overwhelming, but overall, it's been a rewarding journey of growth.
This year has thrown curveballs I never saw coming. Take, for instance, my unexpected foray into the world of strip clubs. Despite nailing the audition, I was blindsided when they cited my tattoos as grounds for rejection. The irony of discovering this after showcasing my skills on the pole wasn't lost on me. Yet, it served as a wake-up call. Pole dancing might seem glamorous, but the toll it takes on the body is no joke. Similarly, the physical demands of construction work hit me like a ton of bricks. Swinging hammers, lifting heavy loads, it's all grueling. It's true what they say – you never truly appreciate something until it's gone.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a real-life Groundhog Day? That sense of déjà vu, where similar challenges crop up year after year, can be suffocating. Lately, that's been my reality. The weight of it all feels like an insurmountable burden, leaving me gasping for air. Balancing work and personal obligations seems like an uphill battle, with little energy left for self-care. Yet, amidst the chaos, I'm holding onto hope that finding a rhythm will bring some semblance of stability.
The past year dealt some heavy blows, with the loss of loved ones weighing heavily on my heart. Each passing brought a fresh wave of grief, leaving me reeling. Yet, amidst the darkness, I found solace in the unwavering support of my boyfriend and closest friends. Their presence has been a lifeline, grounding me when the world feels like it's spinning out of control.
As I wrap up this brief update, I realize time is a precious commodity. Moments to pause and reflect are rare amidst the chaos of daily life. So, to all of you reading this, I wish you a day filled with warmth and love. And if we don't catch up before then, happy Valentine's Day!
Until next time,
Blessed Be,
Kandie Angel
