I was thinking about how my life has turned out and why it turned out the way it did. I have had a few life changing events/moments in my life that has shaped me into the person I am today and I am forever grateful for everything in my life.
The first event that I think has changed my life the most is when we moved to Sweden. Sure, it was just to the next country and it was only 2 hours away. But it is still another country, another language and a whole new environment. I had to leave all my friends behind, we left most of our family behind (we only have grandma on my moms side in Sweden) and I left my room.
I was only 9, but I remember everything and I remember feeling excited and happy to get to decorate my new room and spend everyday in a place that I used to spend only a few weeks in the summers. I really wanted to move, but I was still anxious and nervous. Moving to another country meant a new school with new classmates, no friends and another language. I already knew most of the language thanks to spending my summers there but I still had to adjust. It worked out fine though and I couldn't be happier about our decision to move. Sure, I miss my family and it's sad that I don't talk to my childhood besties, but I really couldn't be happier about the move. I made new friends, I learned a new language fluently, I got used to a new place, a new environment and I'm proud of myself for handling it so well.
The next big event/moment in my life was when I got my own horse for my 15th birthday. My parents finally got me a horse after spending thousands of hours in the stable and around horses. Those animals are my absolute favorite animals and I feel so calm and good around them. Having my very own horse meant a ton of responsibility and a new life.I could no longer go out with friends whenever I wanted to, we could no longer go on holidays without making sure that someone could take care of the horse for me, I had to spend my money wisely and I said no to many things like clothes and candy to buy things for my horse. I loved getting her brand new stuff though! I spent hours a day with her, I even slept there. I woke up at 6am on weekends to go down there and feed her, I spent late nights there to feed and take care of her, I wanted to make sure that she was always fed and doing okay. She quickly became my best friend, soulmate even if you believe in that. I had the time of my life when I was around her, even when it was stormy, rainy and cold outside and I had to go down there. Sadly though we had to sell her after 3-4 years together because of school, jobs, money and time (and my mental health). We no longer felt like we could give her what she deserved so we made the hard decision to sell her and I'm happy that she has finally found a new owner that loves her just as much as I did and still do.
She taught me to always remain calm in stressful situations, to never give up until I've tried. She taught me how to take responsibility over someone else's life and make the best decisions, not for me but for that other life. She taught me how to love endlessly and unconditionally. She really was my best friend for those 3-4 years and I miss her deeply, but I'm glad that she is doing okay with another girl that loves her equally as much as I do.
The moment I said yes to joining my business, my life turned upside down. It has been the best decision I've ever made in my entire life. I love being able to plan my days the way I want to and just sit on the couch and earn money from sharing products that I absolutely love. It has been amazing since day one and it got even more amazing after I attended a huge event in Marbella, Spain. It was 3 days, full of learning, laughing and partying. It was so much fun and I loved watching and listening to the huge leaders all around the world. It was so inspiring and motivational for me to meet other people in this business that are my age and that has really succeeded! It made me more secure and confident in my decision to do this and on the plane home from Spain, I decided to drop out of school. I had to do a year extra to be able to graduate and I knew that I would never work with that ever in my life, so why spend another year being miserable in school if I could drop out and start earning money and having the best time of my life?? I dropped out and I haven't had a single regret since.
The last life changing event in my life is by far the newest one. It was when I packed up my room and moved out. I moved 5-6 hours away from home and my mom. I left my dog and cat, my brother, my dad, everyone. I left home to be able to go with my boyfriend pretty much across the country so that he could study. I knew the moment I met him that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, so when he told me that he wanted to study and that the school he wanted was 5-6 hours away, I said yes in a heartbeat. We've been here for a few weeks now and I love it. I sure do miss my family and animals, but I love living with my boyfriend and seeing him everyday.
