June 2015 – September 2016: Rebuilding, Rediscovering, and Growing

Image
      After my internship at Disney ended in June 2015, the magic quickly gave way to reality. I returned to what I consider my hometown—Virginia Beach, the only place I’ve lived long enough to truly call home. The transition was emotional and grounding. I had to adjust from the whirlwind of Disney life back to a more typical rhythm.      Shortly after my return, I reconnected with my ex-boyfriend, Leo. After several attempts over the years to make things work, we decided to give it another shot—this time with more commitment. We moved in together, marking a major milestone: my first apartment with my name on the lease (his was on it too), outside of the Disney housing. Until then, I’d always lived with roommates in places they rented or owned. It felt like a huge adult step.      Our relationship felt smooth, whether it was the honeymoon phase or the comfort of familiarity. In September 2015, Leo proposed. A year later, in September 201...

From 0 to 100: My Unforgettable 21st Birthday and the Adventures That Followed

Image
     I was never the perfect child. In fact, I was just starting to come out of my shell as I adjusted to life in a new state—Virginia. I had officially entered adulthood… or so I thought. I was building new friendships and slowly learning who I was becoming outside the comfort of my hometown.      About a month before my 21st birthday, someone offered me a fake ID. I turned it down. Part of me was still a little scared, but honestly? I wasn’t that desperate to drink. I figured I could wait—it wasn’t that deep.      Then came January 31st, 2010. My 21st birthday. A night I’ll never forget. My friends went out of their way to make it special. My very first shot was pink lemonade vodka (yes, I remember it clearly), and we ended up playing Pretty Pink Princess —with marshmallows. It was ridiculous and hilarious, and I felt so loved. That night was pure joy, surrounded by people who genuinely cared about me.      After that night? ...

2013–2014: A Year of Chaos and Change

Image
     The year of 2013 into 2014 was yet another chapter of chaos in my life—though I didn’t know it then, change was on the horizon.      I stayed on a destructive path: drinking too much, staying out too late with friends, and constantly searching for love in all the wrong places. I was still living with Kara—who was like a mother to me—trying to be somewhat responsible by paying rent, keeping up with bills (to an extent), completing online college courses, and working full-time. But none of that ever stopped me from drinking.      After attending a friend’s wedding, I had a moment of reckoning. I looked in the mirror and saw someone I didn’t recognize or want to be. I was miserable. I was gaining weight from the drinking. And deep down, I knew I needed a change.      After a heartfelt conversation with Kara, we agreed it was time for me to move on. I ended up relocating to Wilmington, NC, with her then-husband, Bill, in hope...
