Journals: February 2018



— February 9

Been feeling better about myself lately. My depression has slowly started to fade, thankfully! I started caring more about myself (eating good, working out, knowing my worth, etc.). It’s really changing my life. Not much to say than that. I hope everyone is feeling good. Much love.

2018 has started off pretty slow but I love it. Since the last update I learned how to sew! It’s super fun but it took a toll on my sleeping schedule (and bank account, haha). I also started a diet and began to workout. My heart feels better—no kidding. I don’t know why I waited this long to make this change in my life...I’m glad I did, though. Hopefully someone out there changes something this year. PROGRESS!

Totally forgot to write last week, typical me. The past week was awesome! I linked up with some friends from a Twitter group chat on Friday the 12th. I also launched a new website and logo for RUIZ! Very exciting for me—I sent months developing both. I’ve also been addicting to crypto currency…like very addicted. I’ve moved almost all my LTC to alternative coins, haha. If anyone is down to talk crypto or be part of a chat who talks about it, hit me on Twitter!

Four days into the new year and I’ve been plotting on what to do next; I vowed to use this year to focus on my mental and physical health. Truthfully, I just want to be happy with myself this year and share that energy with others. Very excited to share Collection V by RUIZ later this year. Aiming to have it done before the summer. Lastly, I would like to thank Marci for inspiring me to start a personal online journal. Pardon for the odd style of writing, but this is how I typically write on my Moleskine...so many thoughts.An addition to a couple of updates monthly, I’ll be adding 3 things I’ve enjoyed reading, watching & listening to (with links).
