OMG, it's finally happening for me; I started a blog. Hi, my name is Tangie, and today, I am getting myself together mentally, physically, and socially. No, scratch that, I will be dancing to my own beat in this so-called life of being 50-something.
Just A Quick Mention: I am not afraid of aging at this point in my life. At 50, I thought I was running out of time; now that I am over 50, I realize how important it is to not waste my time on things that will never matter. And as you travel this journey with me on my new blog, you will see how I am reclaiming every minute I have TODAY! Each day I am learning and teaching myself what it takes to genuinely enjoy every inch of life.
Although this is my official first blog post, I intend to document and share all the things that bring me joy, peace, love, and happiness. My little corner on the internet is for inspiration only to document the soul of slowing down life.
I've spent all my younger years hustling, grinding to make other people happy, and working long hours at work. I'm in a different phase of my life where I'm not working hard, chasing, or grinding hard.
Side Eye: No complaints over here because I was doing what was needed then.
(BUT, AND I MEAN BUT)
At this point in life, it's time to start living and creating the life I am meant to enjoy.
And the best part is I am still waiting on everyone to approve or understand. I'm no longer chasing dreams, jobs, the internet looks, and numbers. It's exhausting, and at the end of the day, it's none fulfilling. Especially if you need to do precisely what you want to do.
Honestly, I want to stop and see what is around me that I've missed from being so busy all the dang time. My kids are older, and I've been married for over 20 years to the love of my life.
Over 3 years ago, I reintroduced myself to my family. I shared everything with them from the past to the future, which was a load off my back. Because they wanted me to finally realize it's time for me to live and work on the things I've only dreamed of.
My loved ones have told me for years to slow down and put myself first. Now the wait is over, I am starting a new journey that may or may not make sense to some people. But, it will free me from the what if's and why not do it now.
And I did just that.
So, I removed every mask of failure and removed all shoes that didn't fit my new lifestyle so I could walk again.
That was the best analogy I could come up with at this time. But, long story short, I cleared my plate of the things that were not my business. And I picked up some business of (my own). There are no words that will ever express how free I feel. And I know this is my first blog post about starting over, but I can only share it today.
In conclusion: I wish I knew the perfect way to start over at any age, but one thing I do know is (It's always possible to start over, and it's NEVER TO LATE!
And that's on eating pickles and sour jolly ranch candy. :) If you know, then you know:) #countrygal
With that being said, I am signing off on my first blog post. Make sure you come back every day for a new blog post.
Until next time: I hope you're living and not just existing!
