And this year I am going to radically change my life.

In 2016 my life was dramatically changed by a fatal car accident I was apart of. My 10 year old son died and my husband and I suffered severe lifelong injuries. My life was completely altered to its core that day and since then I’ve been working hard to overcome and pick up the pieces.

Since the accident I’ve been fat (300 lbs) and unhappy with almost every aspect of my life. My body. My marriage. My job (a low earning receptionist.) The depression that cripples your life after losing a child.

In 2018 I started seeing a therapist. In 2020 I started the journey to having weight loss survey. In 2022 I ditched the husband (okay, he ditched me.)

I want 2023 to be my biggest year of change yet and I’m working hard every day to achieve my goals. I’m 130 lighter, have a handle on my mental health, and just this week received a major promotion at work that will greatly advance my career.

I’m also moonlighting as a waitress and do freelance writing and content creation on the side. My goal is to triple my salary this year between these three revenue streams.

Im super driven, creative, and outgoing. I can’t make it through my workday without music and while I can listen to and appreciate almost any genre I mostly find myself stuck on rap (run the jewels, nicki minaj, kendrick lamarr) I also listen to an obscene amount of country. What can I say? I live in a small town in rural Michigan. It’s our culture.

I am intrigued by aliens, genuinely believe we are living in a simulation, and don’t have a retirement plan because I believe the singularity will occur within the next 7 years and alter life as we know it so dramatically that it will be unrecognizable.

I also have a 15 year old daughter who is the love of my life.

I’m a bad cook, an even worse housekeeper (I’m working on it) and I am in the shower-every-other-day camp. I watch king of the hill every single night.

BUT I have made it my life’s mission to be the kindest human I can possibly be. I am a monogamist who is loyal and compassionate and values honesty and good communication. I’ll also kick your ass at pop culture trivia and jeopardy questions about Shakespeare.

I don’t know what I’m looking for here. Folks who like my writing style and want to hire me to write for them? (I’m always hustling.) Other parents who are in the terrible club of having lost a child who can commiserate? Country music enthusiasts who didn’t vote for trump? Other content creators who want to swap industry secrets and network?

Or maybe my ride or die whose looking to start a family right away (my clock is ticking), is just as career-driven, and who wants to build something wonderful with the kind of girl who looks for love on Reddit.

My toxic trait is that I overshare.

Message me yours and let’s get to know one another. If you’ve made it this far without being completely repulsed we should definitely connect.
