Deciding to go to Paris without my littles was HARD. ❤️
That first night, my anxiety got the best of me. I was physically sick, throwing up, and completely convinced I needed to book a ticket home. My mind went through every terrible thing that could happen, and for a little while, I almost let the fear win.
But I stayed.
I talked myself through the thoughts in my head. I reminded myself that everyone was okay. And little by little, I allowed myself to actually be here and enjoy it.
And I am SO glad I did.
I made memories with my mom, my brother, my daughter, and friends that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. We laughed, explored, experienced new things, and saw places I never imagined I’d get to see.
And guess what? Everyone survived. ❤️ All that worrying didn’t change a single thing.
Sometimes our own minds are the biggest thing standing between us and the life we want to experience.
So take the trip. ✈️
Make the memories.
Get out of your own head and experience your life.
And if anxiety makes that harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, just know you’re not alone. ❤️
