4 years ago I was trying to leave a toxic and unsafe teaching position.
4 years ago I worked 80 hour weeks.
4 years ago my life had no balance.
4 years ago I had a mental break down.
Over the last 4 years, I've worked to figure out how to not let the actions of others, or my enviornment tear me apart.
Over the last 4 years, I have worked to find medication that works for me.
Over the last 4 years, I've worked to find balance between work and personal life, between home life and social life, between his family and my family.
Over the last 4 years, I've learned to live again.
The last 4 years have been filled with highs and lows, with moves, with a few new jobs descriptions and with a lot of new people in my life.
I still struggle with work life balance, but find me a special education teacher who doesn't. I still have days and seasons that are harder than others. But the difference between me today and the me from 4 years ago, is that I'm not giving up on myself any more. This life is worth living.
Signing off for now
