Reason one, it will be an outlet for so many things I go through on a daily basis.
Reason two, I can use it as an outlet for my creativity, that seems to be fading as of late.
Reason three, to try and self motivate and inspire me to do something better. Something big.
My name is Nicole, I am from North Texas. Here are a few tidbits about me and my life. About 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, Celiac Disease. I just graduated from Esthetics School and now have my esthetics license. I battle depression every day. My self image is very poor. Friends don't come easily to me. Family is very important to me. I currently am a preschool teacher, working for peanut shells.I hope to soon become employed full time as an esthetician.
The main theme of this blog will be that no matter what you are going through in life you need to remember that you are always progressing. Lately I have felt like I'm failing at life. It sometimes seems that everyone I know is moving on with life, getting new careers, starting families, and generally improving their lives. I however, cannot for the life of me seem to find a new job. I've been stuck with this job for two years making less than $300 a paycheck. Yeah, this just got real.
Did I mention I'm getting married in less than 4 months?
As if this time of my life wasn't stressful enough, I am forever battling Celiac Disease, and Depression. Life is hard when you are as limited as I am. It's even harder when you have to explain your disease to people every day, and try to get them to take your diet seriously. Most people just roll their eyes at me. Oh boy, another gluten free bandwagoner.
To help ease my stress and depression, I've picked up fitness. I eat better and make a point to exercise regularly. I've lost a total of 16 pounds since I started. It really does help, I see an improvement immediately after working out. I have more energy, and my spirits are instantly lifted.
My life story is something that cannot be simply put into one little post. Just know that there is more to come. Future posts will be a whole lot more interesting I promise.
