Another Three Years & Two Months Later

-


I guess you can say I'm getting good at this whole three-year check-in.



Today is the official last day of the school year and summer has officially begun! Three years ago my journal entry was right before the worldwide awareness of the Covid-19 pandemic. I knew a little but was not privy to too much. Many lives were lost as a result. The world was in a panic and a change of events turned the world around. I want to dive into a few of those changes...

  • virtual everything became a thing ( online learning, online teaching, workouts, online doctor visits,) #wfm work from home #remoteeverything
  • contactless delivery for all restaurants ( even the sales of delivered alcohol) 
  • online dj battles #akaverses 
  • masks and 6 feet distance was the new norm
  • cheap airline tickets with middle seat marked ( I miss those cheap tickets and empty flights)
  • city curfews 
  • the birth of pandemic babies ( these babies are wired differently due to the #stayathome culture)
  • Stimulus Checks (money to offset the cost of lost wages)
  • PP Loans( biggest come-up scam for scammers nationwide) 
  • restaurants, concerts, playgrounds, pools, skating, and much more were all shut down!
  • Covid-19 & eventually Covid-19 required vaccinations for dining, concerts, travel & more
So, those are just a few. There is so much more but I am having a brain fart at the moment. So I will leave it just there.

Things I did not include in my last three-year post.
  • I purchased my first home 6 months prior to writing that post
  • I enrolled in an endorsement program
  • I received a TOTY nomination
  • I traveled to San Diego for a wedding and had the best time ever
Granted things that year were rough. I spent that year in the pandemic alone a majority of the time. I picked up a new situationship and endured emotional scars and a loss of sense of self. However, I also started therapy to help with the emotional weight. I wish I could sit here and write how much better I am today.  I wish I could share that I  am married with kids and I am a world-renowned travel influencer and philanthropist. Oh and that I kept the weight off my body.

However, what I can say is that I am still trying and still walking in my truth. No, I am not married with babies but, I am happy and single. Never thought I would ever say such a thing! My family and friends are my beautiful tribe. I grow closer to them every day. In addition, I have learned to love and value them deeper than ever before. 

My creative and critical thinking skills are also top-notch. I feel as if I unlatched a hidden gem. Running is still my thing even with the weight gain.  Though it's been two weeks since I've had a good run.  Nike strength training videos have been added to my workouts to make our for those missed runs.  I also ran 10 miles at the D.C Cherry Blossom.  Never in a million years would I have believed I could run 10 miles. Let's add that to the milestone chart. 

Oh, and I switch schools. One of the toughest decisions I made but, this decision was needed for personal and emotional growth. A teacher of gifts is what I could call myself though,  others know me as the school's gifted educator.  A departure from the general education classroom is also something I never would've imagined. 

So, I must say there have been some changes and I am not completely stagnant I look forward to the new changes to come. 

There is so much more to share but perhaps I will start with my attempt of changing my three-year check-in to a three-month check-in.

Three Years Later.

Hi ghost readers, I'm pretty sure, I'm just writing this for myself. I'm ready to read my literature and sound somewhat elite with my words. As of now, I will continue to write and have my writing sound as if I'm writing for a young adult audience.  Three years later, wow! Welp! I'm single, I still reside in Atlanta G.A, I have no pets. I've made new friends #werunatl. I run a mimm of 2-3 days of the week for a consistent two years. Yes, you may pat me on my back. I've lost weight and kept the weight off.  I laugh at my past love affairs wishing I could go back and talk myself out of some of those unnecessary situationships. However, in hindsight, they were actually necessary and needed for my growth as of today. I've been on too many dates to count thanks to the new social media dating apps. Oh, and I've been ghosted ( never to hear from a person you have been dating without warning) at least 3x, maybe even more.  I on the other hand ghost no

Transition From Skinny Girl to Med Size....

Where do I Start. So for the past couple maybe even three years I've had this issue with my weight. Many girls typically do. Well even when I was a size 4 transition to a size 6 it became an issue. See as most I've always known its not in my genetic swimming pool to remain a stick all my life. Also, when you have the constant reminder from elders that the weight gain will soon to come, that doesn't exactly ease your nerves as a young child. So I'm in a mood because I recently just got off the phone with a girlfriend of my, and she was speaking about a lady she works with and how shes an epic fail because she made the New Years Resolution to diet and lose weight, and the lady has had no success of weight loss.  Well being the person I am, and the transition struggle I'm having, hearing that comment didn't exactly excite me, and in a way I felt a bit unease. Because like many others I've made that same goal. However, instead of the diet goal, I've ma
