I have
Received a Giving Key
With the word
FEARLESS
My Story
At the end of 2016 and into the beginning of 2017, at the age of 26, I was going through a tumultuous separation and ultimately a divorce from the person who had been my partner for the past four years. For the first time in my life my world felt like it was truly crumbling around me. He had just relocated us to a new city, I had just started a new job,
I didn’t know a soul, and he had found someone new. Now I was faced with being alone for the first time in my life. Having to stand on my own two feet and become financially and emotionally independent. I was absolutely petrified. Fear consumed my mind every day.
What if I couldn’t make it? What if I lost everything I had left? Would I ever make friends? Would I ever find love again? All of this uncertainty began to fade away when my best friend from High School, Natalie, sent me my giving key. This photo was taken in the back yard of my new house that I moved into five months later. I held onto this key and wept for hours because finally I WAS making it, I WAS taking care of myself, I wasn’t just living.. I was living fearlessly.
