A Year and a Half Ago

 A year and a half ago or a little over just depends on you and your situation I guess, but a year and a half ago.  Most thought, "Ok! We will be back to normal in a week or so!"  That week or so has yet to come and thing are just getting worse.  A year and a half ago we all picked up new hobbies or reintroduced ourselves to old ones.  We started projects and went outside more.  I put numerous puzzles together myself and my eldest daughter and I started painting.  My oldest son started playing D&D and tried his hardest to get his family in on a campaign. Which didn't pan out to well, poor guy!  A year and a half ago we were scared but had hope that this all would pass over and we may possibly come out of it with some new skills or some new recipies under our belts. Some of us took this time to explore different ways of life and a year and a half later we have found new ways to live we have became spiritual we have shed skin that allowed others to take advantage of us.  Some of us found a voice or took our voices back. Some of us have taken this time to find who they are after years of being the person others made them for years.  We have moved on from toxic relationships because we have realized in a little over a year and a half life is too short to spend with shitty people.  We have found the courage to move on from jobs that stole our joy and realized time is the most valuable asset of all not money because once time is spent unlike money it will not be coming back!  A little over a year and a half ago I lost who I was to become who I am this day!  No, things are far from normal but I kinda dig this bad ass bitch that I am today!
