What is something you love about this time in your life?

I am honestly the happiest I have ever been. Please believe me that I have only really cried out of joy lately. Happiness with my roommate, while on walks with friends, in my room thinking about where I am at in life and honestly it is such a beautiful experience. I have had a lot of time where the feelings were the opposite.

Whenever people see me lately, or meet me- I get comments about how my light is there, that I seem to have found my inner peace, a lot about how good of an energy I bring to the table.

That makes me so happy to hear honestly. I have always wanted to bring that and once I was able to come out of my own cocoon or shell whatever you want to call it. I think more cocoon because I have been putting in a lot of work and growing a ton.

I am no longer experiencing PTSD Symptoms and my OCD Symptoms have been reducing tremendously. It has taken a lot of work, a lot of self criticism, and building back up myself esteem. There are still days that I feel like I am holding back, or days that I let other people tie cords to me. Once I let them go, I come back to myself. It is about decreasing that time where I let people attach to me.

If I had to pick something that I love about this time in my life is that I am exploring who I am again. I am getting back to who little Jess was. Wondering around in the backyard- playing and exploring leaves, nature and everything this world has to offer.

I am taking my shoes off, grounding myself and letting nature surround me. I am so proud of myself and I am honestly so grateful. Thank you, Jess for putting in all this work, for choosing yourself and most importantly for not giving up.
