So after a long hiatus, I’ve decided it’s time to start writing again. Lots has happened! Life gave me lemons, but I crushed those lemons like the hulk smashes cars and I made myself a nice cold glass of lemonade. Haha, that sounded nice. Wish it were that easy! I’ve been in the dumps. No hiding that fact.
There are so many things to discuss. In the two years that I have been gone I have experienced the following: I found out that my father was alive and breathing and now have 3 siblings that I knew nothing about; I had breast implant surgery done followed by 2 years of hellish weird health symptoms (breast implant illness); I had breast explant surgery to remove said bags of toxic waste; I changed jobs; moved three times; dealt with a family members cancer; and finally I started painting again. Oh, did I mention therapy?! I cannot believe all that happened in a span of a little over two years. But it did!
I’m happy to report that after tittering on the brink of a nervous breakdown and some days of seriously contemplating how much easier life would be if I weren’t in it; I have made a complete turn around. Life is good again my friends.
This blog entry is about never giving up. The shit is going to hit the fan my friends. We all go through it. If you think your life is perfect, well time to stop lying to yourself. We all have shit! I have decided to do one thing. That is, take personal responsibility for my shit. Those dreams that I felt were squashed; I was the one squashing them. I couldn’t blame anyone else. I was afraid to follow my dream, I didn’t act. You see, that’s the difference between being successful, following your dreams or being afraid and helping some else achieve theirs. I plan to tackle anyone who stands in the way of me achieving my dream. So, here’s the thing. You’re going to see more of me through my art AND you’re going to hear more from me through my blog. I hope you watch and listen!
Peace and Love my friends,
Rebecca Bond
