I honestly couldn't tell you how this dream came about or where it came from. None of my family has done anything remotely close(that I know of) Here is what I do know, I was a shy, timid girl, In an overcrowded school, who never really spoke out of her turn Because if a high school could have a middle name it'd be violent! End of junior year we had had enough, we wanted out of the city on some land. We looked at a couple of places but when we saw the place we lived at now we jumped out of the car before the car had even stopped moving. Going to a completely new school my senior year would sound pretty terrifying. But boy was senior year one of the best years of all my middle school and high school years! I was on the Dance team(I never joined a school sport I didn't wanna represent a school I hated), and I had a group of friends that I met on the first day and walked the stage with at the end of the year! The overall environment was a more positive space, I had got my first job which is currently where I am sitting writing this. I graduated, and I started a second job back in town I hated doing something I loved, and was always my passion. Within less than 2 weeks I had looked at, Pulled the cash, and brought home a $2,000 1999 Mallard series camper trailer with a mind full of ideas and not knowing where to start. I took the risk, I went after the dream I had. I never listened to the haters in my life. I had a love interest that I know now was so wrecking to my mental health, and that can be a story for another time. But when I say Tackle that dream. TACKLE. THAT. DREAM. Take that risk. TAKE. THAT. RISK. The ones who stand by you through it are the ones who you need to keep around. The ones that are good for you. That's what matters!
