November marks National Adoption Awareness Month. If didn't already know, I was adopted from Romania to Scotland when I was 20months old. In recent years I have been on a journey of discovery, trying to uncover more about my past. I already have a few posts on my blog (shameless plug, the link is in my bio) however, I really want to use this month to talk a little more about my experience with adoption and open up the conversation with you all. I have been working on a few blog posts that I will be putting up throughout the month that I'm really excited to share. I feel like talking about adoption is still a taboo subject. The voices of adoptees are important, but sadly often go unheard. Many people believe that adoption shouldn't be spoken about and we are given new lives, therefore the past is irrelevant but I couldn't disagree more. I'll be posting every day this month, either on here, stories ( I may even do a live if I get brave enough) or my blog. I would really love it if you followed along and joined into the conversation. I'm always really happy to answer any questions that you may have, I'm a pretty open book and no questions are off limits. I look forward to sharing more throughout the month, and I hope you guys will too. ❤

Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday, so I decided to make a list of 22 things I've learned over the past 22 years. It's okay not to have your entire life planned out, I still don't know where life will take me and I'm okay with that. Don't ever make yourself feel guilty for putting yourself first. You can never please everyone, so don't even bother trying. It's true what they say, after having kids you really learn who your true friends are. People will come and go, and that's alright. If someone leaves your life it's for a reason. Get out the house every day even when you don't feel like it, your mind will thank you. It's alright to have opinions that differ from others, it what makes you who you are. Always be yourself no matter what situation you find yourself in. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else, it never ends well. Trust your gut, its almost always right. Standing up for what you believe in doesn't make you rude, or unkind. Having a clutter-free environment does wonder for your mental health. Celebrate your achievements and allow yourself to be proud. Be honest with others and most importantly yourself, even if it's hard. Good friends are hard to find, so try your best to hold onto them. You only have one body, learn to love it always. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Don't ever hold back on doing something if it's what you truly desire. Take more pictures of the little moments in life. Try not to worry about things beyond your control. People change, so will you. The things that hold the most value in life aren't necessarily the most valuable. Every day is a blessing, make it count.
