Clear The Runway

Hello my long lost friends!

It is summer here in the States and I have spent mine getting healthy. Last you knew I was graduating from university and planning on attending graduate school. Now I feel comfortable enough to tell you all that I will not be going to graduate school in the fall. This past semester I struggled with health issues and depression. Things got so bad that I had to medically drop four of the six classes I was taking. Luckily those four were for my business minor and I had enough credits to graduate with my double major in international affairs and sociology in three years, ultimately leaving myself with half of a business minor. Life gets pretty tough and I have been afraid to post anywhere on social media that I didn't perform to the expectations I had set for myself, the ones I thought society would hold me to. As it turns out, society can kindly kiss my ass! I shouldn't be afraid to admit that I suffer from depression, I shouldn't be afraid to say I'm changing my short term plans to accommodate my health! Many people follow the path of graduating then getting a respectable job. If you know me, you know I happily stumble from that beaten path. 

I digress...

I'm proud to say that I lack firm plans about my future but hold steadfast to my goals of getting healthy mentally and physically, traveling, and getting a job that isn't work because I love it so much. 

I've been getting iron infusions and doing nutrient therapy because blood work showed I was extremely deficient in necessary vitamins, as my body was not absorbing them. These deficiencies made my depression worse and now that I am getting vitamins the depression is slowly decreasing. I am also concentrating on self love because after the traumatic relationship I was in, I thought I was worthless and a truly terrible person. Now I am ready to embrace the healing on all levels!

My path to healing does include some travel within the United States. That is what this entire post was supposed to be about: getting the wanderlust back in my eyes! I've got a little sparkle in them, a little shine. I'm ready to hit the Tarmac and invigorate my soul! Keep on the lookout for more posts as I document my healing, travels, and experiences!

I'll be going on an adventure very soon, if you want to see all of the fun add me on Snapchat- toriquaglia. Two weeks and I'll be up in the air again!

Thanks to my family and a few very close friends, I'm coming back to life. Never give up on yourself, you are worthy, you are loved. I know this because I LOVE YOU! Here's my jam that gets the good vibes going for me, Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
