I mapped out this timeline to show that life isn't linear.

The biggest things that changed for me were my worldview and mindset.

On paper, I had everything (I even left a lot out b/c character limitations).

I wasn't happy until I took personal responsibility over my own life.

I hope this thread does 2 things:

1. Shows you a bit more about who I am
2. Empowers you to go find out who you really are

You will never be happy living the life someone else wants you to live.

Confront life in the face and take control of it.

Take the risk... it's worth it.
