All of this being said, I like to make people happy (honestly who doesn't??). It can be a bit of a challenge, though, because one of my weaknesses is overloading myself. I feel like I can't say no. I warp things in my mind to make it seem like I can handle it all, when in reality I'm drowning.
I had an incredible freshman year, I got involved in organizations that I'm passionate about and met people I care deeply about. Those organizations do take up a lot of my time, but I love what I do.
Around late March to early April I was writing a newspaper article over how 1/2 of our basketball team would be transferring in the fall (it's one of my best articles if I do say so myself-- let me know if you want to read it). I also ended up potentially signing to be Drury's first triathlete.
The sport of triathlon has been huge throughout the past 5 years of my life. So when the opportunity presented itself I thought it was meant to be. I got super excited and told a lot of people.
I'm not going to go into all the details but sometimes it just doesn't work out. It was an incredible opportunity but for a number of reasons I realized that it wasn't what was best for me.
So many times I have stretched myself too thin. I want to continue to be my happiest self and that comes with putting yourself first sometimes.
I'm still staying connected to the triathlon community and I can't wait to see where it takes me. I'm thankful for my family and friends who support me no matter what.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
