Life. Love. Louisville.

Life: Shout Out to the Old Me

04.22.20 | Life

If you ever scrolled through my Instagram feed – @bellaoflouisville – you’d see a transition around 2017 when I went in the opposite path of writers of Instagram and monetized my blog. ✨

The sinking feeling in my stomach makes me regret all of it. It’s taken a lot of time for me to piece together a post to transition back to the old me then. ✨

This photo was taken during that time when I was a writer that shared poems, inspiration, and experiences. That whole “Life. Love. Louisville.” that wasn’t monetized; it was legit. I felt authentic without having to push a product. Somehow I became a total sellout, and the regret I feel from that is massive. As I’m searching for the light out of this creative block, I’m reminding myself of the lessons we can learn from regret. ✨

I’ve found that regret has created a deeper understanding of who I am and who I don’t want to be. ✨

Instead of despising that era, I’ve noted the missteps to avoid it moving forward. ✨

I’ve grown to appreciate every experience as I believe that the universe orchestrates lessons to awaken me to reach my infinite potential. ✨
