Ximena Quintana and the Jonas Brothers' Heroic Interventions. Self-Discovery edition

So, basically, I'm just a year away from reenacting that episode of 'Friends' where Joey famously asks, 'Why, God, why? 

This is my appreciation post for all the different versions of Ximena I've been over the past five years.

These years have taught me a lot, and when I say 'a lot,' I mean it quite literally

I've met the darkest side of me, the lowest point so far and thanks to that experience, I discovered the best version of myself and the one I cherish the most.

All the scars, both physical and emotional, have shaped me into the person I am today.

Rebuilding yourself after so much pain its quite a journey, but it's all worth it. ✨️ 

If you find yourself in a place where you can't seem to find the light at the end of the tunnel, whether it's due to a toxic relationship, a job you don't like, or a toxic dynamic in your personal life—or perhaps all three, as I did—just know that it does get better. You will smile again, love again, enjoy your job, make new friends, and find a new home. You can always start anew. It may not be perfect, but it will be amazing. Just hold on a little bit longer, and you'll be fine.

And at the end of all of that, you'll find the best present you'll ever have. You. 

So, I wish all of you the opportunity to get to know your lowest self because it's through this journey that you'll uncover valuable lessons and learn about who you are, for better or worse. You'll also gain the certainty that you'll never be alone again because your own company is all you need to start all over again. Don't give up on love; have faith restart. (Off course, I've been blessed with amazing people who never abandoned me, even when I abandoned myself.) 

You will laugh again, smile again, love again, feel again and enjoy life again. You will learn to love and appreciate everything you have and what you don't, one day at a time.

Life isn't about perfection. So, please, enjoy even the tough parts. Take the opportunity to live, laugh, love, cry, and feel. There's room for everyone on the path to success.

So bless you all, and I thank you with all my heart and my soul for being there when I needed you, even if right now, our paths have taken different roads.

I love you all, so much. And I'm grateful for everyone I've crossed paths with during these 29, I mean 27 years on Earth.

Let's find a place where happiness continues.

And special thank you to the Jonas Brothers, for yet again saving my life.

If you find the referneces to them. Let's be BFF, and/or if you're cute, marry me?🤣

P.S. Don't be afraid to ask for help; therapy saves lives. Reach out to your loved ones and consider getting a dog—or two or three. They're an infinite source of love.

And if you're my friend, get checked. Neurospicy people tend to like each other. 🤓💖
