“Change The Narrative”

	There are times in our lives that we struggle, it may be from an external force or ourselves. Some of these struggles can scar us from our environment. Everywhere you go can remind you of that bad time. For example, you’ve just been broken up with, and you can’t go to a certain place because it reminds you of them. This situation sucks, and honestly, it's not fair, you can miss out on your favorite place all because of someone or something. I've been there and I’m here to tell you how to get past the struggle, how the change the narrative.

	You can be taking a different route to work, eating somewhere different, or even trying to move somewhere else. I know you want to escape but DON’T! You need to close the door on this struggle. It shouldn’t bring you so much pain, even if it's good or bad memories. The past is the past. Move on. Don’t be a slave to the it, because it didn’t do you good then, and it won’t now. It’ll take time, take as long as you need. Just because you were “that person” in the past, doesn’t mean your “that person” now. Go to that place and show who you are now, you are stronger and wiser. Our past is only what makes us stronger. Once you get that mindset, you can go anywhere as you please with no problem.

	When I was going through my worst phase in 2016, I ran outside a lot to escape, every run I was in such a bad state with anxiety and insecurity. Those runs by myself with my thoughts alone would always be the toughest part of the day. It’s a 3-mile route outside my house. I still run that route today and I don’t think of that time at all, because I changed the narrative. I am not the same Gabe from 2016, I’m not even the same Gabe in 2018 when I was healed from my past.

	You can’t live your life running away from your past, change the narrative, stand up and just say no, I’m here, I’m different, and now I’m Free. 

Let it go, and be you.~Gabe💭
