THE TUNNEL LIGHT

It has certainly been a while. 




This past year has been incredibly difficult for me. I've dealt with the decline of my health, physical pain and borderline depression. I was forced to quit blogging, photography, dancing - even running. Practically everything I loved about life was taken away from me.

It's taken eight months, but I'm finally remembering who I am. I am not an injured person. I am not a stressed out 9-5er. I am ME.



You can't always wait until "things get better" to do what you love. And sometimes, despite all of the issues you're facing, you've just got to smile.

  1. I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been going through but very happy to hear you are feeling better! (also I love your dress, the pattern is beautiful, the header is great & your smile is lovely).
    I know what it's like to be a low point health wise and emotionally. a lot of times the two go hand in hand.
    a little boy once told me, even if you're sad, if you smile it will make you a little bit happier.
    i hope it all gets better & i hope to read more fabulous posts of yours!

  4. I'm so sorry to hear all that you've been going through. Last year was a rough year for me as well, not in terms of health, but battling with unemployment and a slight depression, it was hard times. But I agree with what you said, you can't wait for things to get better, you have to go out there and make an effort to change things yourself, and no matter what keep on smiling (especially if you have a beautiful smile like yours!).

    I sincerely hope everything gets better for you! Welcome back to blogging, I can't wait to see more of your posts :) You've also got yourself a new follower ;)

    Take Care,
