J.K. Rowling had it right. And it sounds so cliche. When you are at rock bottom, you learn a lot. You learn who you can trust, who loves you, and who you are. Everyone has an opinion. When you see someone’s life in snapshot of a moment. On the front page of the paper or on the news, and everyone becomes an expert. I’ve never met someone in love who made a decision in one day that affected their whole life. Until, I woke up and realized it was me.

I wanted to protect the person that I thought I loved, and I did. I made decisions in a moment that people make every day. Everyone has skeletons in their closets, everyone makes decisions that they hope won’t be exposed, and mine were. I was at the top of the world, I joined every board I was invited to, on track to become the Regional Vice President of my division, and I made decisions in a split second that ended it all. And, it was splashed all over the news. I was quickly asked to resign from boards, work, and blogging for the State that I am so proud to be a part of.
Forget the entire innocent until proven guilty mentality that is in our Constitution, I was judged by everyone that doesn’t know me and those who do were forced to defend me. I never had a chance. One reporter picked up the story and made sure that everyone thought the absolute worst of me. Thanks, Constitution, for that one.
- From rock bottom, the only thing you can do is learn. Learn what got you there, why you are in the position you are in, and how to never be there again. So, this is about to become my journey on how I am going to rebuild my life, from the bottom up, in a small town, where like I said, everyone has an opinion but everyone loves a good success story. Join me, and buckle up, this is going to be a bumpy ride.
