current mindset!!

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships, and I’ve come to realize that I’m not quite ready to fully commit to one. It’s not that I don’t value connection—but it's just that I really enjoy my alone time. I feel like I don’t get enough of it. I work long shifts, come home, and still have a list of other things to take care of. And somewhere in between all of that, I wonder: where’s the time just for me?

I need that space to focus on myself—to recharge, reflect, and simply breathe without always thinking about the next task or responsibility. So when I ask myself where a relationship fits into all of this, the honest answer is: it doesn’t. At least, not right now.

This realization has actually brought me a sense of relief. I no longer feel the pressure to force something I’m not ready for. Instead, I can focus entirely on myself, which is something I genuinely love doing. That time and energy I give myself is everything to me. It allows me to grow, to heal, and to work toward a version of my life that brings me real happiness.

And I’ve noticed something else—something powerful. The more I focus on positivity, the more positive my life becomes. Things that used to completely throw me off no longer have that power. Sure, challenges still come up, but they don’t shake me like they once did. I’ve built a sense of peace within myself, and I carry that into every day.

It wasn’t always like this. I used to be sad—really sad. But I took it one day at a time. I made small choices to appreciate what I have, to look for the good, even if it was just one thing. And from there, things began to shift.

Now, I feel grateful every day. I look at my life—what I have, what’s coming, and all the growth ahead—and I feel proud. When I started embracing that gratitude, everything began to slowly improve. And I’m still on that journey. Peace
