I Don't Care What you Think as Long as it's About Me

First of all let me tell you about myself. My name is Monica. I'm a stubborn, unfiltered, hard-working, driven, occasionally emotionally, strong, 22 year-old woman.

I'm a nurse assistant for a wonderful cardiovascular surgeon who saves lives daily. Even though sometimes my high-stress job makes me want to scream, I absolutely love it. I love my doctor, my coworkers (whom are firstly some of my best friends), and my patients.

I'm in over 2 year relationship with a wonderful, hard working man, Charlie. Even though sometimes I want to choke him and he to me, I wouldn't have it any other way. I have so many scars and irrational fears from past relationships. I was in a relationship with verbal abuse, I was beaten down until I had no self esteem, and told I wasn't physically attractive. I was broken up with every time there was a fight or I voiced my opinion. Now, Charlie has loved me for who I am and comforted my with all my emotional meltdowns, tears, and fears. I love him for that. Today, I will never let a man treat me that way again. I will always voiced my opinion and stand up for myself and not back down.
 

I don't have any children yet, but it is a life goal I must achieve. I could not imagine not being a mother. Charlie does have one beautiful 5 year-old daughter that we get every other weekend.

This blog is about my journey to get fit and become a mentally sound young woman, what makes me laugh, cry, and proud.
