“Walking beside family, While Staying on My Path.”
My family is back in society and I am happy to have them here again to walk this walk me. I love the fact that they are able to begin again with a fresh start. A second chancer doesn’t necessarily mean an easy road. Coming home after being gone a while can definitely bring challenges, rebuilding relationships, finding stability, making different choices, and adjusting to life again.
I want to lead by example by making positive choices in my own life. I want to be able to show by my own actions, rather than tell what they should be doing. I think it’s important to show by example how I problem-solve and who I surround myself with, how I pursue my goals, and how I just keep moving forward in general.
I want to be a support without losing myself through it all. Being supportive doesn’t mean saying yes to everything or joining someone’s struggles because sometimes love means having boundaries.
We both have a road ahead. They have theirs and I have mines, but we can walk a good journey together.
The message I want readers to take away is ” Sometimes being aa good example isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing someone, through the way you live, that change is possible.
While you may be beginning a new chapter I am continuing my own new chapter as well. No one has to be perfect to be an example, you just have to keep choosing the life you’re trying to build.
Thank you guys for listening!
