Facing my fears

Good afternoon bloggers,
I’m blogging ya’ll from the beautiful island of Aruba, I have chosen to travel whenever I can. And after working 2 full time jobs for 3 months, this is a well deserved vacation! I always receive stares when I travel solo, but I embrace my peace of mind & the more I explore & venture on my own, I’ve become more confident & courageous. Which, I never knew I possessed! Traveling by myself also humbles me & reminds me how blessed I am & how much I’ve grown mentally, emotionally & intellectually. I have learned that as human beings we can endure an insurmountable amount of pain & still be able to persevere against all odds. It's our destiny to push ourselves to no limit. A comfort zone was never an option for me! Loved ones passed or left & I had to figure things out on my own. I do have a handful of close friends that I have learned to value. Their opinions & the advice they give has been sound & behooves me. But, ultimately it’s up to me to choose, to be what I want & do what I want.
The more I accomplish things on my own, the more I feel like it’s highly unlikely to meet a partner on my level in every aspect of life that I value. For example, financially, intellectually, emotionally, romantically, & definitely sexually! But this feeling of disappointment is not going to stop me from doing me! I will continue to work hard, play hard, love hard & loose all the fear my body harbors!
The more I meet people & travel, I hear that there exist a counterpart to everyone! So, I will keep my faith in that saying, which states: there someone for everyone! Until then, I’m going to continue loving me, my family & my friends!
